Wawona campground is fantastic. The Merced River runs through the side of it which allows for tubing and swimming. There are some “beach spots” which are great for kids. Some great swimming parts of the river you’ll need to hike to get to but majority of the river is easily accessible. This campground is more dispersed than in the valley. Only Verizon carriers have signal. There is the town of Wawona that is 6 min drive away where they have a local market for groceries and wifi at the library if needed. The restrooms were decent, and rangers were very nice. We cannot wait to go back!

Rangers, campers and animals were all very well behaved. We are glad to have experienced staying in Wawona.

We had a very good experience and great time here. Perhaps one tip I wish I had known- bring a biggish bowl for washing the dishes. You are not allowed to rinse dishes under faucets. You are supposed to scrape all rests of food into trash and then rinse the dishes and wipe them and dump the water into toilets, NOT on on ground. I really liked the rules, I think its great to keep the campground safe and clean and most importanty keep the wildlife safe.

Campsite 93 was great. Fairly flat for a large tent. Not super close to the next campsite and quick access to two restrooms that were well kept.

Site 37 was beautiful. On the river and reasonably private for Yosemite. Loop B seemed quiet compared to the other loops.

Site 67 is spacious, however, there are no trees at this site. It's nice to be near the river, and the surrounding areas were clean.

Not a big fan of this location. The whole campsite is sloped: area where you setup the tent and the bench. The only flat area is the top of the bear box and you have to be pretty tall to cook on top of it.
