I prefer Wawona to the camping circus that is Yosemite Valley. The sites are more generous. And it is within manageable distances of Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove.
However, this is still Yosemite so your campsite will be adjacent to all kinds. This includes the group of 20 somethings that feel obligated to blast their awful music until 11:30PM. It also includes the guy who decided to bring three dogs instead of the permitted one dog. Bring your ear plugs and your patience and you should have an ok time.

We were at the group site and it was pretty amazing. We were right in the middle of nature right by the river and had a huge campground area. We will definitely come back to this place again.

It was a pretty good camping experience. Half of our group (a couple and their 6 year old) were camping for the first time and it was a great experience for them. Would definitely do it again.

Very good campsite with decent shade in summer and close access to restrooms and water. The staff were super helpful and checked in on us and helped with routes.

Good campsite in general, but no shade in summer making it almost impossible to stay in a tent around during the day.
