Great! But I think that the hours of the rangers should be posted.

I had no problems with cellphone reception. The walking tour of old Wawona Village with Yosemite Foundation Rep. Brian Shoor was an informative historical experience.

The ability to make a same day reservation was a nice surprise. Facilities were fine, staff was great. The only problem was that we have a roof-top tent, there were rocks preventing us from pulling our vehicle into the camp spot (which was level) and the parking space was on a slant, so we didn’t have a level tent for the night.

Fantastic site, and only a 35min drive to Yosemite Valley! The sounds from the river (which was flowing late-spring/early-summer) are beautiful and the amenities are perfect for RVing or tent camping.

Beautiful spot right next to the river - quiet, meadow full of wildflowers.
It was confusing on arrival as site 10 is before the check in booth and there were cones across the driveway with no instructions on being able to move them.
Very flat, very open - great spot!

The setting along the Merced River is beautiful and peaceful, and the proximity to Mariposa Grove was great. We had an excellent stay.

It would be amazing to have showers at this campground! Also, the amphitheater area could use some repairs.
