Everything was clean and everyone was helpful. The bear box cooked and melted all our food even inside the cooler. Had to use all our shade covers to protect the food from heat not bears!

Wawona is interesting and a great place to acclimate for higher elevations. But, I do miss Tom Bopp and the hotel.

The hosts are nice and the space is wide and flat. About 1 hour drive from Yosemite Valley, not too bad!

Our campsite was perfect. We stayed in the middle section B. It was quiet and family friendly. We found a great swimming area close by. Perfect location if you want to be in the park, but get away from the crowds.

Been coming to Wawona for the past 40 yrs with my family as a child and now with children of my own. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. When anyone ever ask me of any places to try to camp, this place is always my first recommendation.

We stayed at site 054 C on 8/19 during a cross country roadtrip. For the purposes of our trip (coming down from the Tahoe area and visiting the valley the next day) I wish that we would have stayed up in Tolumne instead of having to backtrack into the valley the next day, but that was my own planning fault. This was a fine campground. Clean, quiet, and for such a popular campground this site felt private enough, which is rare when the bathrooms are so close by. There’s a large lovely cedar on the site which was a nice shady spot to pitch our tent under.

Excellent campground. I booked a group site and was very happy with the experience. The bathroom was cleaned. The ranger was very helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

First camping trip, this was a great campsite. Tons of room, spaced out from other sites, bathroom close by without being a nuisance at all since it’s down the hill. Couldn’t ask for more. Images look super rocky on this site specifically but not an issue at all. Will be back for sure.
