The spot is pretty spacious, has a fire pit with barbecue grill and a bear proof food box. There are clean restrooms (with showers) on the premises. We all loved it and had a great time. Highly recommend.

What a lovely spot. Great access to general store, gas, visitor center at Wawona. Sounds of crickets and rivers.

Perfectly fine campground, putting us in good position to visit the Mariposa Grove on the morning we departed. Be aware, however, that there are no hiking trails from this campground.

Just wanted to say thank you to the camp rangers for keeping this campground so beautiful. There is so much to do and see in the area. We couldn't get to everything so we will have to come back. Be aware of mosquitoes, do what you need to do to protect yourself.

Wawona is our favorite campground in Yosemite National Park. It's a quick 40min drive to the valley but the campground is way more enjoyable. The only tension, and this is from 20 years of camping in the area is Thursday & Friday nights the campground quite hours are not respected and there is not camp host on site to help enforce them. If you travel with kids just be advised you may encounter weekend campground parties that go till 2-3am regardless of how many times you request them to follow quiet hours

The time of day that generators can be used could be adjusted to post 7 pm but prior to 10. It was difficult to keep things running when you had to shut down so early.,there are plenty of hours to energize up but the configurations do not lend themselves. I surmise my rig was the biggest one in there and the site did not have any privacy and I felt like tent campers etc considered people in rigs pariahs.

Okay campground. On a slight slope with no shade.
The camp staff modified our reservation and cancelled one of our nights, and then gave that night to another family. The camp staff attempted to state that I must have cancelled a night when I don’t even have service here. Additionally the documents provided by the staff indicated the cancellation was done “internally” by their staff. Yet the staff denied it was their fault.
