There is not showers, and the rangers at front desk did not know where you can find any.
Washing dishes is a mess, you have to do the washing in your site and then throw the water in the waterclose at the bathrooms.

The weather was bad & wet rain is not good when camping in a tent. But we put up a 10X10' awning over the table & metal food locker which helped.We had hoped to go on a 2-hour mule ride but they were not operating as the river was raging.
It was so cold & uncomfortable in the tent that we left Thursday late afternoon...

Clean, basic, great view/access to river, helpful rangers, convenient bear bins and bathrooms. Minimal natural features so no privacy among some campgrounds.

nice camp spot- we scored last minute reservations at Upper so we only stayed at Wawona one night.

We really enjoyed staying at this camp. It's clean and spacious for our 8-person tent. The space was clean

We had an excellent stay at the Wawona Campground. A great atmosphere and a much nicer campsite than the ones within the valley; a lot more space. The only thing missing in this campground are basins to wash dishes in. Otherwise, all great.
