Had a great time camping here. Wawona is located really close to the Mariposa Grove and isn't too far from Glacier Point. We also explored the town and the little library which was a fun stop. The hike to Chihualna Falls is strenuous, but you don't need to hike the whole thing to get great views of the waterfalls. You can access them right from the beginning of the trail if you want. Overall, a great experience. You still have river access (bring inner tubes) from this campground and the drive to Yosemite Valley isn't bad either.

Camping at Wawona campground was such a beautiful experience. I love that there is a river near by that you can easily walk to and can get in for a swim. Everyone was very nice and considerate of others. I really like how all the campgrounds have a picnic table and fire place. I also love that we are free to turn on the fire pit whenever we want to. I can’t wait to come back again!

I liked Wawona campground but it was so far away from the main sites. Wawona was clean and the trash was easy to find. Noise level was great especially since the campsites are so close together. I was in C88 which was great because i felt like I had extra room Compared to other campsites.
