Fantastic site! Only complaint is that it’s a little slanted. Great shade, close to restrooms and trash/recycling bins, but not “too close” to become a noise or odor problem. Wawona campsite was very mellow and much less crowded than those in the valley. Excellent springboard for hiking Chilnuana Falls, and taking a dip in the river both at the campsite and at nearby Swinging Bridge trail was cold but exhilarating. River sounds were very relaxing!

Wawona is a very chill campground compared to those in the valley. It features a range of sites, including some very cool locations along the river. It is close to Mariposa Grove and the Chilnualna Falls trailhead.

Great place to stay to get an early start for the Glacier Point Road. Facilities are basic but adequate. They include flushing toilets, potable water, trash, and food storage lockers.

It was very sad to miss learning more about Yosemite at the history center near Wawona campground. We were told it was closed due to theft and vandalism.

Love to stay here. It’s only the sound of river. The site was on a slope that I slided down on the sleeping pad every night. The water is so clean. It’s a quiet campground in Yosemite. An hour drive to the valley though.

nice campsite away from the busy Yosemite Valley. Would so benefit from some sort of shower facilities

The campgrounds were well-kept, and the toilets were clean. I was expecting vaulted toilets, but they were not, which was a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful camp but roads are very narrow and hard to avoid collision with other rvs.
