Campground was great but got charged for 3 nights at 3 separate spots as well as not accepting my Golden Age Passport. Paid over $150 for our first night regular spot.

I rarely stay at NPS campgrounds & unfortunately this experience will only reinforce that. We arrived to a site with garbage scattered about as well as a little end table left from a previous camper. The fire ring had no less than 4 inches of ash in it, making it difficult to enjoy a fire. No showers & no dishwashing station. Our site was close to the river, which was nice, but beware the highway is up the hill directly behind the site. Overall, for $36 a night, I expect better conditions.

I think we got the best campsite! Campsite 004 has a lot of land and is somewhat private. It's also not to far from the stream

The campground is very beautiful, on the banks of the river with small beaches for swimming.
The sites are spacious and practical for setting up tents.
The toilets are in good condition and clean.
The campground is near Mariposa Grove and the giant sequoias.
We had a very good night.

Exactly what we needed! Site needs a shower but just a trip to the valley took care of that. Beautiful site, no complaints.

This is our first time camping and wawona is one gem in the Yosemite. It is secluded from Yosemite valley and Merced River flows near by the campground. We enjoyed our stay there and spent more time near river. Only thing is they don't have showers but it is a great place for camping.
