We had a lovely stay for one night in Wawona. We stayed overnight in our car to be close to all the hiking paths in Yosemite. We made dinner on the provided grill.

Staff were very friendly, trash cans within reasonable distance and the campsites were very clean. Wish there was more shade, ill have to preview sites before purchasing next time.

Clean facilities. Great campground. Except for the low-life next to us that took down their camp at 3am talking loudly and slamming the car doors for an hour.
Not much the park service can do about that. Some people are just inconsiderate a--holes.

63-c. Wonderful site. Close to the river so we were able to walk down and dip our toes. The sound of the water was beautiful too. Level campsite and friendly staff. Clean and tidy bathrooms and drinking water.

I did not enjoy this campground at all. I read the sites were "spaced out" but what they don't say is the whole place is flat with no trees so you and the other campers are just staring at each other. I stayed in Crane Flat the night before and the sites have more privacy. Wawona is right by the road and i could barely hear the crackle of the campfire with the number of cars driving south until almost 10pm. So many cars. This was not a holiday weekend. Would not recommend this campground or stay here again.
