Wawona Campground

We had a very good experience and great time here. Perhaps one tip I wish I had known- bring a biggish bowl for washing the dishes. You are not allowed to rinse dishes under faucets. You are supposed to scrape all rests of food into trash and then rinse the dishes and wipe them and dump the water into toilets, NOT on on ground. I really liked the rules, I think its great to keep the campground safe and clean and most importanty keep the wildlife safe.

Rangers, campers and animals were all very well behaved. We are glad to have experienced staying in Wawona.

Campground is small and clean. Public restrooms were in a good condition. Water stations are available

Wawona campground is fantastic. The Merced River runs through the side of it which allows for tubing and swimming. There are some “beach spots” which are great for kids. Some great swimming parts of the river you’ll need to hike to get to but majority of the river is easily accessible. This campground is more dispersed than in the valley. Only Verizon carriers have signal. There is the town of Wawona that is 6 min drive away where they have a local market for groceries and wifi at the library if needed. The restrooms were decent, and rangers were very nice. We cannot wait to go back!

I thought the campsite was very good with a large shaded tree. However, what concerned me were the campers across from me in site 61 or 62 (I was in 57) who had 3 vehicles and more than 6 campers, including teenagers and small children which is against the campground rules. They also had 3 large tent and a large trailer that they carried all their equipment in as well. I think you should be more closely monitoring the sites to see that campers are following the rules. There were other campsites nearby that also had more than 6 campers. I am wondering why you don't have a supervisor who stays on site if needed. I believe they have one in the valley campgrounds. I did appreciate that the campground was quiet at night.

Wonderful! Great site, right by the river. Clean bathrooms, didn’t feel too crowded although the camp was full. It was our first camping experience and we’ll do it again.

This campground was quiet and had beautiful scenery. The river flows right through the campgrounds and you are able to access it at several points. Would stay here over the valley despite the drive, the campground was much more private. Close to Maripos Grove, the history center, and general store/gas station.

Spacious place. Good facilities. Limited privacy.

Nice spacious campground, close to the rivers.

Very nice campground. It is the kind of campground you can go to and enjoy for the campground. Most of the sites are excellent. There were a few uneven sites between the campground loops, but we didn't stay in any of these.
There were a number of volunteers near us and it made the stay enjoyable.
The men's restroom was kept clean.
