Clean, quiet, and not too far from the beauty of Yosemite Valley!

Very nice campground away from the crowds in the central valley, but just a 30 minute drive in. Also, very close to Mariposa Grove and a short drive to Oakhurst for supplies. There are two small general stores close, but they are pricey. The campground itself sits near the river and during our stay a group of wild turkeys roamed the property. The rangers and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Bathrooms were kept clean and stocked and the one nearest loop A is heated. There is a dump station just up the road near the hotel. My only complaint with Wawona is that most of the pull through sites in loop A are not level, so may take some time and moving around to get a larger rig setup. I also didn't care for the pull through sites in Loop A essentially being pull off with no separation from the road. Our trailer is small with no slides, but a couple of nights our across the street neighbors were in a Class A with multiple slides which nearly blocked the roadway and made for a tight fit.

This is a great campground. We stayed in Loop B and it was so nice to hear the sound of the rushing water near us! I hope to be back again some day :)

Loved our stay at Wawona! We stayed in Loop C right by the water, which provided great white noise and is so beautiful to be near. The sites are large - we had 4 adults with 2 pretty large tents and had plenty of room to spare. The rangers are so friendly and provide a lot of helpful information during check-in. The bathrooms were very clean and the market up the road was really convenient for firewood and forgotten items.
