Not water, no spigots at the campsite, no privacy from neighbors, dirty restroom, campsites kinda hard to find, and far from Yosemite. The river flowing through the campground is gorgeous.

The only bad thing is your spot next to another.

Loved this campsite - it was very spaced out and quite large. I was able to get a spot near the river.

Great campground. Out site was conveniently located right near a spigot and the bathrooms. Bathrooms have all flushing toilets and running sinks. A beautiful creek running up and down the entirety of the campground. The Valley and glacier point were only 40ish minutes away. Mariposa Grove is only a few miles, and best of all, the Wawona general store carries ice cream and is only a few minutes away. Would 10/10 stay again.

Great site. Wasn't greeted by any camp host and didn't know the rules about generators - so turned it off at 8:50pm, and neighbors were pissed. Wish I would have known the hours, but that's on me for not looking it up before I got there, while I had wifi.
Other than that it was a flat site, right by the river and would love to go back! :)

Great camp grounds with clean bathrooms and water. We loved the flowing river that runs along the campground.
