Wawona is our favorite campground in Yosemite National Park. It's a quick 40min drive to the valley but the campground is way more enjoyable. The only tension, and this is from 20 years of camping in the area is Thursday & Friday nights the campground quite hours are not respected and there is not camp host on site to help enforce them. If you travel with kids just be advised you may encounter weekend campground parties that go till 2-3am regardless of how many times you request them to follow quiet hours

Just wanted to say thank you to the camp rangers for keeping this campground so beautiful. There is so much to do and see in the area. We couldn't get to everything so we will have to come back. Be aware of mosquitoes, do what you need to do to protect yourself.

Okay campground. On a slight slope with no shade.
The camp staff modified our reservation and cancelled one of our nights, and then gave that night to another family. The camp staff attempted to state that I must have cancelled a night when I donβt even have service here. Additionally the documents provided by the staff indicated the cancellation was done βinternallyβ by their staff. Yet the staff denied it was their fault.

It was my second time at Yosemite but first time camping at Wawona. The experience was wonderful from the start. No hassle with checking in after hours and the park rangers were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The campground is kept very clean and provides a quiet and peaceful environment. We were camped just steps away from the river which was also memorable. Traffic overall was not bad when driving up the mountain to see the beautiful sites. Gorgeous views everywhere. Definitely recommend!
