Wawona Campground

This campground is a fun spot.

I would say this is a fine campsite, but it is a little bit closer to the camp road than most campsites and there may be other sites that are more ‘fun’ (like closer to the river).

There were no issues related to camp road proximity, and the site was a comfortable, yet close distance to the bathrooms. The toilets are flush toilets.

Some of the other reviews talked about the parking spot being too small for 2 cars but it was large enough to (barely) accommodate an XC60 and a CRV. We were also able to fit two 4-person tents and a 2-person backpacking tent. 4 camp chairs fit snugly around the fire ring.

The campsite is a 35-40 minute drive from the valley but you pass the entrance to glacier point and an astounding lookout on the way. It is also very close to Mariposa grove (giant sequoia trees).

There is a very quaint store called Pine Tree Market on Chilnualna Falls Rd that has a surprising array of foods, snacks, alcohol, and conveniences. They even had homemade(?) sausage that looked quite good (did not buy).

The local stores tend to run out of firewood (at least when I was there, but based on the number of campers buying wood for fires) so I would recommend foraging for firewood from fallen trees/branches. We were able to find plenty of dry, dead wood inside the park, but it is also an option to drive up Mount Raymond Rd near Fish Camp.

Beautiful spot to camp, large spaces and bathroom was exceptionally clean.

We have been camping in Yosemite since early eighties but since we moved up above Oakhurst near Bass Lake we haven’t been camping in about Seven years . This time we got Campsite 11 A on the river and absolutely had a great time in fact we will be going up again in Oct . Nothing like camping Yosemite.

Our campsite was nice , beautiful scenery. We went in September so weather was nice as well. We will definitely be going back.

Great location nice rangers, clean and safe place

I did not enjoy this campground at all. I read the sites were "spaced out" but what they don't say is the whole place is flat with no trees so you and the other campers are just staring at each other. I stayed in Crane Flat the night before and the sites have more privacy. Wawona is right by the road and i could barely hear the crackle of the campfire with the number of cars driving south until almost 10pm. So many cars. This was not a holiday weekend. Would not recommend this campground or stay here again.

Nice campground. Quiet. Great spot, plenty of room. Clean bathrooms.

63-c. Wonderful site. Close to the river so we were able to walk down and dip our toes. The sound of the water was beautiful too. Level campsite and friendly staff. Clean and tidy bathrooms and drinking water.

Clean facilities. Great campground. Except for the low-life next to us that took down their camp at 3am talking loudly and slamming the car doors for an hour.
Not much the park service can do about that. Some people are just inconsiderate a--holes.

Excellent campsite with easy access to river. Clea bathrooms with flush toilets and electricity. campsite is big enough to fit 2 tents.
