We always enjoy camping at Wawona. The campground is well cared for and usually very clean. Come prepared with your own shower setup and you’ll be very comfortable. The rangers were professional, kind and very helpful. We enjoyed visits to Tenaya lake and the valley floor.

This guy pace is amazing. The 7pm amphitheater gathering is great and informative. Being next to the River is an absolute plus. Campground is very well taken care of with clean restrooms.

We had a wonderful stay. We met lots of friendly guests and rangers. It was very quiet at night and the lake is pristine. It is very close to Mariposa and the beautiful sequoias.

Park Rangers were roving in a personal vehicle. One Park Ranger was not wearing the correct uniform, wearing unpolishable tan boots. This isn't their fault, they are being failed by supervisors that aren't doing their jobs to get these public servants the correct equipment and outfits. No standards. Total joke. This district drags the entire service presenting to the public this way.

I love this campground but the rangers always seem to want to find something wrong with our site. Their patrolling is very aggressive and accusatory. In addition the bear cages are very small and I wish there was extra room. Restrooms near site 61 are clean but the restrooms near site 49 are not clean. Thank you to everyone for their work.

Campsite C093 was the site we reserved, and I would say it was a very nice campsite. It was not too far from the restroom and had enough shade for us to relax under when the sun got hot. Even though it was late August, the afternoon sun was still beating down, so having plenty of shade helped a lot.
The campsite also had a nice, clear opening that allowed us to see the other sites around us. It was also close enough to the river that we could easily walk over whenever we wanted to hang out by the water. One thing to keep in mind is that the campsite does have a slight slope. There was also some dry grass near the fire pit, which we made sure to clear away before starting our campfire for safety.
Overall, the campsite was beautiful and comfortable, and we had a wonderful experience. It was a great place for my loved ones and me to relax, spend time together, and enjoy the outdoors while cooking some delicious food. :)

Despite not having a direct creek view or access, this was an excellent site with very good shade from plenty of trees. Lots of spots to hitch up a hammock and can still hear the creek (site next door has creek views and access).
