Great campground! A really good place to spend a night or 2 coming from the west side of the park! Quiet and peaceful! Close to gas stations and the Wawona hotel and glacier point road. Really clean and well maintained

Site 14 is very close to the main road so you hear the cars driving by the whole night. It is also right next to the ranger booth entering the campground, so you get all the traffic around that. And at night, the ranger booth lights are very bright and pointed towards the campsite. I wish maybe you could change those to motion sensor possibly. There's no shade during the day at this campsite, or enough trees to hang a hammock. Other than that, the facilities at the campground were always clean. Just this particular campsite was not the best if you are trying to hang out there.

What a srunning campround located in Yosemite next to a, rather cold, creek. Convenient flush toilets. It does ger rather cold at night and hot during the day (August). Creek entrance is suitable for some swimming. Wanona hotel/Big Trees short drive away to have lunch/diner or if fully booked, for a takeaway meal on their porch or at your campsite. Just 10 minutes ride away from Mariposa Grand parking where you can catcher the buss to trailer to visit the sequoia Trees.
Site 72 was situatie next to the Rivera, great views.
