We loved the campground. It is far from the valley, but the drive to the main attractions wasn't too bad since we only did it 4 times & there wasn't a lot of traffic. We would definitely stay in this campground again.

Very beautiful and wild campsite. It almost feels like wild camping in nature. The pitches are very large for those of us who were in a tent, and the grill area is well maintained. There are no showers

Clean campground, run very efficiently. Shoutout to the rangers who helped me modify my reservation when the app did not work!

Campsite 66 is just across the road from the river. A big open site with views of the sky. The campsites right across (70s) are right on the river and superior. Wawona is a great campsite and if you can't get reservations in Yosemite valley a good option to be near Mariposa Redwood grove and 45mins from the valley.

L’emplacement est vraiment très joli, situé le long de la rivière. Très beau ciel étoilé.

Loop B was quiet and more secluded than Loop A or C. Beautifully located next to the creek, we had a great time.
