Very nice campground. Sites are large enough. It allows to visit Yosemite village and come back to relax in a less crowded set up. Showers would have been nice.

We got a great spot right on the river. Even though we were close to the main road, we didn't hear traffic because the sounds of the river won! Great campground.

Lovely campsite next to Merced River. A few miles drive to Mariposa Grove, swinging bridge and Chilnualna Falls.

It was our first time at the Wawona Campground with an RV. We had site 37 right on the river, I think the most beautiful on the entire site. The river had a lot of water and the sound was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We would have liked to stay longer but had already planned the road trip. Highly recommended.

Went to Glacier Point twice and then to the Valley. Nice campground, clean restrooms. Wild turkey visited in the early morning. Some wildflowers, iris, lupine, Ranger at kiosk helped with allowing separate party who was camping with me access campground without permit. Convenience store near Wawona Hotel. Gas too but $$$$. Better to fill up in Fresno or Coarsegold. This is my third time at this campground. No cell service. Showers at Hotel? They used to, not sure now. I use No Rinse or catch up with a friend at a motel.
