Wawona Campground

Beautiful campgrounds, welcoming hosts, clean facilities.

My campsite was well maintained, but several in my loop were not. Most people camped in RV's, I set up a tent. Close to Yosemite Valley, Wawona Village and Mariposa Grove.

The rangers were very helpful and kind. The bathrooms and campground were clean. It was a fairly quiet campground which I appreciated. There is a gas station just a mile down the road which was useful. I would definitely go back.

The Wawona campground is a great alternative to the Valley floor campsites which are nearly impossible to get. The drive from Wawona to the Valley floor is about a half hour and you drive right by the Glacier Point entrance then through Tunnel View which is always spectacular.

Great sites one right on the river. They were clean and good sized. Would stay again

Close to Yosemite Valley and Wawona General store. Well kept, quiet and peaceful spot to enjoy the National Park.

Beautiful camp ground!

We had a dickens of a time booking our reservation, though we were online with fingers poised to go at 10AM EST 5 months before we wanted to book a reservation. At Recreation.gov, the entire block of sites was not operational, so there was no way to make any reservation at Wawona. Because we wanted some sort of campsite at Yosemite for our dates, we opted to book in the Valley campsites. By the time we realized that Wawona was not magically going to become available for reservations, though, there were only individual dates still available in the Valley. We almost unhappily booked 3 separate spots for our intended timeframe, paying all the fees, etc, but not convinced that was really what we wanted.
The next day, the Wawona campground had opened up, and we were able to book a single site for 5 days close to where we wanted to be staying. We right away cancelled our Valley reservations, and got a partial refund. But I am miffed that our intention to make reservations at Wawona was thwarted by a NPS (or recreation.gov) snafu. We had no way on the weekend 'Reservation Day' (during the few seconds scramble in which to make a reservation) to contact NPS to find out what was wrong with their reservation system, and when would it open for Wawona. Second choice of camping ANYWHERE in Yosemite would have been just OK, but when the reservation system DID become up and running, there was no way to avoid excessive cancellation fees for an issue that was not even our fault. This was under the control of NPS, and they should have either had their system up and running with recreation.gov, or they should have been prepared to pay the cancellation fees related to shortfalls within their own system.

We loved this campsite! Pretty private and tucked back into the corner. There were two large spots for tents and would be great for a bigger group. Highly recommend!

Nice campground next to River. Camp Volunteer and his wife were very friendly and helpful during our stay. Bathrooms were very clean.
