We loved our campsite with water view and easy to set up tents. Loved the size of our campsite and enjoyed the kindness of NPS staff.

I liked the location of the ground by the river. It was nice to listen to in the evening. I just wish I was not in the first part where RV's with their generators were located. They all turned them off at the appropriate time, but when they were running, they were quite loud. It was very convenient to get to the dinning room at the hotel and to the Sequoia grove.

I enjoyed the site because we were nestled at the back of the campground. We also enjoyed being so close to the river, which felt like our own private area to relax. I only wish I could have stayed longer!

The site was perfect! Just next to the river and close to the restrooms. We visited the Mariposa Grove, which was spectacular and the Valley the day before our stay here. Both are must sees!

For us, Yosemite is the most beautiful National Park. We always enjoy our visit. We stay in Wawona because it is less crowded. There are several short hikes perfect for families & seniors. The Pioneer Village is a must see.

Wawona never disappoints! I have been camping here for over 60 years, my parents brought me as a child and I have continued the tradition. A little trouble with yellow jackets this year but weather and water were wonderful.

Very nice campground next to a boulder strewn river. Sites are fairly close together. It was a good option since we could not get sites in the valley but the drive to the valley is full of switchbacks and takes 45 min to drive. Would highly recommend driving up to glacier point on your way to or from the valley.

The parking area for our campervan was quite small, and on the road, which resulted in a lack of privacy.
