17A is the best site in the A loop, backs right up to the river and was plenty big for our 30' MH and van. There is a trail by the bathrooms and group site that is short and easy for kids.
a short drive to the valley and back made it a great location that was never crowded!

Clean restrooms, general store at Wawona Hotel and Chevron is 1-2 miles south of the campground, and campground is about 55 minutes from Curry Village. Fairly quiet, respectful guests, and well spaced apart campsites. Only thing is that there appears to be no camp host so you have to get supplies and firewood or ice from the fire station or a general store. Rangers are nice and check up on late check-ins in a friendly and courteous manner.

There is not showers, and the rangers at front desk did not know where you can find any.
Washing dishes is a mess, you have to do the washing in your site and then throw the water in the waterclose at the bathrooms.

The weather was bad & wet rain is not good when camping in a tent. But we put up a 10X10' awning over the table & metal food locker which helped.We had hoped to go on a 2-hour mule ride but they were not operating as the river was raging.
It was so cold & uncomfortable in the tent that we left Thursday late afternoon...

Clean, basic, great view/access to river, helpful rangers, convenient bear bins and bathrooms. Minimal natural features so no privacy among some campgrounds.
