About Wawona Campground

Wawona Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The site is situated at the southern end of the park, 27 miles and approximately 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley, at an elevation of 4000 feet.  Wawona was home to the park's headquarters in 1904 and historic structures still stand today. The majestic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is just a short drive away. Within Yosemite, visitors gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area and much more. When on reservation, Wawona campsites are available to reserve up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. PST. For example, on January 15, arrival dates for the period May 15 to June 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from the campground open date to June 14.   Reservation Tips! Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes. Login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. You may only add reservations to your cart and proceed with your reservation if you are logged into your account. The recreation.gov call center does NOT have access to additional sites or additional information beyond what is published on recreation.gov.  Yosemite National Park Campground Reservation Dates

I loved this campground so much! Right next to the water with fire pits and bear cabinets. The store is not far and they even have a little store right in the campground.

This campground is way too close to the main road. My campsite was just a few yards away from the group campground which was loud. Confusing signage. Plus - clean bathrooms.

Excellent campground. We were in 44B, which is a very nice camping spot up away from the road and in a quiet area of the B loop. Wawona as a whole was a great experience, significantly quieter and less busy than the valley campgrounds. The volunteers and ranger were incredibly kind and helpful, with excellent hiking recommendations. The nearby Pine Tree Market is remarkably well stocked with anything you could need.

The volunteers were especially helpful, as was the ranger. We stayed in Loop A for 4 nights. Such a beautiful time of year with the fall colors. The camp was clean and roght along the river.

Clean well kept park with easy access to view Sequoia National Park. The only down side is almost all sites are very un-level both directions making it extremely hard to level a RV. Using are largest leveling blocks we were still 1.5 inches off level side to side.
