Beautiful campground situated next to the river. It was nice being outside the popular, crowded valley but still close enough to drive there (45 mins).

Over all peace and quiet I had a party of 6 and I felt like we were loud bc it was so quite haha
Sites are beautiful there’s a creek not to far from all campsites we spent a day at the creek and it was a nice view w all the trees. As far as bears and deers I didn’t see any although I heard a bear was not too far from camp cite 38! I definitely will be going back!! I was beyond lucky to find such an amazing campground and to top it off it’s only 30 min from tunnel view we’ll worth every penny thank you for the troop rangers Paul Beach was a nice man thank you for making this experience great!

All and All a decent experince. The spot I was assigned to ended up being a handicap spot, large parking space, flat and a great shade tree next to the spot.

Site 059 at Wawona Campground has a small rainbow shaped parking area in front of a huge site. Too shallow to back in my 17’ trailer; the description says the site is limited to 18’ trailers. They have plenty of room to move a few rocks to make a conventional parking area where you can back in your trailer, just like site 057 next door. Because of the one-way road, we had to park “backwards” with the door facing the road, just a few feet from other campers going by.. Being Yosemite, it was beautiful, quiet, with excellent, newly renovated bathroom, with many extra outhouses, so there was no waiting. If you plan to explore Glacier Point, you are about an hour closer than staying in the Valley campgrounds. I rated it three stars hoping to get someone’s attention so they might spend an hour moving rocks and greatly improve this site.

The Wawona Yosemite Campsite surpassed expectations. Situated by the Merced River, it offered remarkable access to its beauty. Stepping out of the tent onto the riverbank was a luxury, with the flowing water's sound enhancing the serene atmosphere. Lounging by the river or taking a refreshing dip was easy, given the proximity. What's more, the campsite's south side gate entry of Yosemite Park and its midway position for accessing Glacier Point Road were a perfect combo for exploration. For nature enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable getaway with both convenience and natural marvels, this campsite truly stands out.
