About Wawona Campground

Wawona Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The site is situated at the southern end of the park, 27 miles and approximately 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley, at an elevation of 4000 feet.  Wawona was home to the park's headquarters in 1904 and historic structures still stand today. The majestic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is just a short drive away. Within Yosemite, visitors gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area and much more. When on reservation, Wawona campsites are available to reserve up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. PST. For example, on January 15, arrival dates for the period May 15 to June 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from the campground open date to June 14.   Reservation Tips! Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes. Login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. You may only add reservations to your cart and proceed with your reservation if you are logged into your account. The recreation.gov call center does NOT have access to additional sites or additional information beyond what is published on recreation.gov.  Yosemite National Park Campground Reservation Dates

We had one night before a backpack trip out of Glacier Point.
Campsite was nice.
Bathrooms could use a little TLC/refresh but everything was functional.

Nice campground. It is quite open and the sites don't have a lot of privacy.

Everything would have been fine except it was a heat wave. And there was zero shade in my space. About a 100 degrees. Most sites are better.

site 71 was very enjoyable! extremely convenient access to the river and a small spot of shade under trees right on the bank made for a perfect afternoon. there was no shade over the table or area for the tent though, which made it a bit less fun setting up the site. close to bathrooms which were very clean and also right next to the trash cans so a bit loud in the morning when it was getting picked up. there were a lot of large families and groups with loud dogs when i was there so generally noisy but part of the experience! overall really enjoyed my first time at wawona!

We were not able to park our small trailer on the tent area ; we had to install it beside the road; not bad but really not optimal.
Our neighbors were crowded (14 people on one site). Camping rules allow 6 people maximum on the same site. Noisy but we called rangers (hot line) and they became quieter and stopped the music.
Unfortunately, they allow electric generators on campground at specific time (morning, noon, evening) !!! very noisy when you camp in a tent !!! When I go in a nature campground, I do not expect to camping beside a motor.
The camping administration seem not to make sure that campsite regulations are followed (electric generator allowed periods, nb max of people per site, etc)

The Wawona Campground area seemed very nice. What made our stay unusable was the slope of our site 019 A. The description of the site mentioned in vague terms that the slope was slight to moderate. I have a 25ft Class C. Slight to moderate is 1 to 3 degrees of slope. 019A had 5-6 degrees. A trailer with a pivot at its wheels can have its back end touching the ground and the front end up in the air by 2-3ft. A Class B or C with four wheels cannot tilt like a trailer. There was no way I could raise the front of the sprinter van by 2-3ft. The site was not usable. My fridge needs a more level slope or it stops working. Look it up, RV fridges are like that. I lost about half of my food thinking I could try spending a night there.
