Property got impounded second night for no apparent reason or at least the notice nor the Ranger could tell us why. Our third night was cancelled due to water issues

Yosemite Valley very close to the campground (40ish min), Wawona with its store, gas station, restaurant 5 min away is extremely convenient! We love to stay here

We appreciated getting a last minute cancellation and pulled into number 17 which was next to the river. Wonderful spot. The rangers were so friendly at the gate and so knowledgable. We got a map for the Giant Sequoias on our way out the next day.
The trash was easy to use and all the campers so chatty and kind. We were the loudest so sorry if someone complained. We did not need water as we brought our own but loved having a flush toilet and sink to wash hands.
Perfect camp spot and would choose it again. The drive from the valley floor of Yosemite was long (45 minutes) but we loved the river spot and left at 6 pm from the valley floor. Plenty of time to set up a tent, cook a quick dinner, and clean up. One night was a blessing.

Campsites were located right next to the river, even in July we fell asleep to the sound of it rushing by. It was hot and our site unfortunately only got afternoon Sun, which made for an early wake up call. Facilities were clean and well-stocked, rangers were friendly. Would definitely stay again!

This campsite was amazing and we were lucky enough to get a site on the creek which was absolutely stunning. We loved the entire campsite and was a short drive to Yosemite and very easy to get to the Yosemite Valley Centre
