Wawona was grrreat!!! We were disappointed that we couldn't get a spot in the Valley, but Wawona was about a 25-minute drive and offered VERY pleasant camping experience next to a Merced River fork that was clear and jumpable. Our family had a blast, and even biked around the entire campground for added adventure! This is equally, if not better, location for exploring the Glacier point ridge.

Honestly loved this campground! Our site was right by the river, which made for a beautiful and peaceful setting. The bear boxes were spacious and easily fit everything we needed to store. There was plenty of parking—enough for two cars per site—and most of the bathrooms had lights, which was a nice. While there weren’t any showers nearby, we rinsed off in the river and used the showers at Curry Village without any issues.

I love how each site has plenty of room and close to a river. Not all site has flat area for the tent so I considered myself lucky. Super close to gas station and little market to get what you need.

Nice campground next to a beautiful river with lots of trees and more space and privacy than in Yosemite Valley. Our stay was very quiet. Check out the Wawona historic area, it’s only a minute away and there is a store there for camping supplies.

We love Wawona and were so happy to be back camping! The campground is very clean and the park staff are friendly and helpful! We miss Ranger talks in the evening but love that staff were always either walking the grounds or driving by making their presence known.

Our second time staying here--I love this campground. We enjoyed biking the Meadow Loop and swimming/fishing at the Swinging Bridge.
