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.

Great spot! I loved jumping in the river in the morning and evenings to cool off and rinse off - no showers at the campsite. Quick little drive (~40 minutes) to Yosemite Valley or Glacier Point. Multiple water spouts, bathrooms and dumpsters positioned around the camp for convenience. Peaceful and quiet mornings and evenings. Stayed mid-July

Great campground! We were coming from SF and got in pretty late, so it was nice to make the scenic drive through the park the following morning. This campground is huge, and the nearby river is a great plus. Will be returning!
