Loved the campground and the campsite, but do not leave your coolers out for any reason if youβre not on the campsite. They are not kidding, no warning given. They will confiscate your coolers WITH our drinks and give you a $205 ticket, THEN get your cooler back. Understand itβs for our safety but wouldβve appreciated a warning since not all of us are experienced campers. Itβs alright learning as I go, love campsite otherwise.

We loved the campground. It is far from the valley, but the drive to the main attractions wasn't too bad since we only did it 4 times & there wasn't a lot of traffic. We would definitely stay in this campground again.

Very beautiful and wild campsite. It almost feels like wild camping in nature. The pitches are very large for those of us who were in a tent, and the grill area is well maintained. There are no showers

Campsite 66 is just across the road from the river. A big open site with views of the sky. The campsites right across (70s) are right on the river and superior. Wawona is a great campsite and if you can't get reservations in Yosemite valley a good option to be near Mariposa Redwood grove and 45mins from the valley.
