Great campground! Rangers were very kind and informative. Wonderful access to the Merced river for water play. There was a ranger talk every evening which was engaging for both kids and adults.

The campsite was right next to the road, so there were people constantly coming and going.

The campground is beautiful. My site #88 is big enough for 1 big tent and 2 small tents for 6 people. The bathrooms are okay. We got nice and quiet neighbors. We had really good time there.

We went on an excellent naturalist led hike at the Mariposa Grove. The naturalist was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about communicating the history of Yosemite and Mariposa Grove and our walk with her was a memorable highlight of our trip. Campsite was great. Don’t leave any food, not even bottled water outside the bear boxes. It takes 45 min to drive from Wawona to the Village…which didn’t feel too long because the drive was gorgeous. Walking right up to El Capitan, Bridelveil waterfall hike, cook’s meadow loop were beautiful easy hikes for kids, but my favorite easy hike is the 0.7 mi hike from the upper pines campground ( walk to the north side of the bridge, then head right) to the happy Isles art center. That hike is easily one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve ever been on. You are walking along a gorgeous river stream surrounded by Yosemite’s iconic granite mountains. The other secret, not so secret place I’d recommend is Swinging bridge. There is a bridge, but it does not swing. It’s actually a beach, right by the river, surrounded again by breathtaking granite mountains. Have fun!
