Lovely setting by the lake, but because of this there were lots of mosquitos so come prepared! Drinking water was easily accessible and toilets were good.

Lovely site, but the parking was less than desirable (#44B). Loved hearing the rushing water. Weekends can be noisy late into the night.

This is on a beautiful campground but the site itself is tiny. There'd be no way to park 2 cars.

Campsite 98C. The site is a little slopey and definitely full sun in the afternoon. The bathroom is a treacherous walk down and up hill and the spigot is further than you'd want on a rainy afternoon. The area in general is very private and quiet. We really loved Wawona and would definitely go there again, just a different spot.

May in Yosemite is a beautiful experience.
Wawona CG is right along a fork of the Merced River which was flowing high.
Plenty of shade and space between many spots for the RV.

Good ground for camping while visiting Yosemite. we camped for two nights and it wasn't as noisy as I expected since it was listed as a busy campground. People around were nice and helpful. The only thing missing is showers and we used one at curry village in Yosemite valley for our showering after the hikes. The logs of wood don't allow the car to be backed into the campsite, so you may need to carry your stuff for a few more steps but nothing dramatic. Overall all good.

Bathrooms were clean. Campsite was great! It was near the river which was so soothing. The ranger who greeted us was very helpful.
