About Wawona Campground

Wawona Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The site is situated at the southern end of the park, 27 miles and approximately 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley, at an elevation of 4000 feet.  Wawona was home to the park's headquarters in 1904 and historic structures still stand today. The majestic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is just a short drive away. Within Yosemite, visitors gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area and much more. When on reservation, Wawona campsites are available to reserve up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. PST. For example, on January 15, arrival dates for the period May 15 to June 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from the campground open date to June 14.   Reservation Tips! Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes. Login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. You may only add reservations to your cart and proceed with your reservation if you are logged into your account. The recreation.gov call center does NOT have access to additional sites or additional information beyond what is published on recreation.gov.  Yosemite National Park Campground Reservation Dates

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.

Overall campsite was not bad. Clean bath room, good location near yosemite and river right next to it. But the site we were in was next to major hwy hence very noice with car traffic. Almost like tenting in car pool lane. So get the site away from the road

Notre emplacement Γ©tait trΓ¨s bien (064), mais nous sommes passΓ©s devant pas mal d'emplacements trΓ¨s Γ©troit. On est un peu les uns sur les autres par rapport aux autres campings que nous avons fait. Certains sont en bords de chemin (passage constant), trΓ¨s proche des WC ou des poubelles et ils sont calibrΓ©s tout juste pour la taille (avec notre RV de 25 ft nous avons eu du mal Γ  ne pas dΓ©passer sur la route, mΓͺme aprΓ¨s avoir correctement manΕ“uvrΓ©).

The location of the campground is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the valley but close enough that it doesn’t take long to drive in. Sound sensitive folks just be aware if your site is close to the main road you will hear cars all night & it can be fairly loud.

Very nice campground, clean bathrooms, most sites seem level for tent camping and plenty spaced out.
