Our large family enjoyed our time a Wawona campground. Our site was perfect and the rangers were friendly. Highly recommend.

We scored Site 1 on Loop C the night before our trip (we had been on a waitlist for months). The site was HUGE, very private, had lots of trees, easy access to the bathrooms, and the soothing white noise of the river alongside our site. The bathrooms were clean and always stocked, but no light at night so bring your headlamp! This site is considered a "walk-up," but one of the two designated parking spots was right on top of the site, making for easy loading/unloading. Site 1 (plus a few surrounding) is "tent-only"—not intended for car camping—but we noticed our neighbors were sleeping in their SUV. Loop C seems to be the most wooded and quiet of the Wawona campground. The drive into the Valley was only about 45 minutes, and the little town of Wawona had a lot to offer—definitely check out Pine Tree Market!! We highly recommend the Wawona Campground, especially if you can score something in Loop C by the river!

The campground is surprisingly quiet for how full it seems to be and everyone is reasonably well spaced out. There are plenty of restrooms so it’s never a long walk. Most visitors are relatively respectful and peaceful but we did run into some issues with neighbors that caused a bit of tension. But we were gone during the day doing activities in the valley, so it wasn’t a huge issue. Overall great campground.

Nice campground on a river. Restrooms could be cleaner. There are no showers on the campground, what leads to many people washing themselves in the river.

The campsite was nice and a little larger than some others. It was fully shaded. The restrooms and drainage sink were not too far. And the restrooms were incredibly clean.

The campsites are close to one another but not so close that you can't have a good time. The bathroom lights are solar powered and won't last all night. Be sure to bring your light. Aside from that, it's a great campground!

I love this campground. It's right inside the park but you can get to Yosemite Valley in 20 to 30 minutes. There is also a small market 6 miles away. The river is through camp ground so we could hear the water laying in our tent. Clean bathrooms too.
