Wawona Campground

Campsite is nice, a bit close to others. Bathrooms are good with soap

The campsite was clean and quiet! No one was loud the night that I stayed, and I had no problems. It was lovely to swim in the creek as well. Possibly adding more bathrooms or a shower is the only thing I'd fix.

Great site next to the river. Large and flat, and close to the bathroom. Other sites up on the hill don't look as nice.

We managed to find two different sites available so we can stay two nights (just needed to move campsites after the first night). The first site was bare bones (A section), right at the entrance of the campground and the main road so it was very noisy with constant cars going down the main road, rvs arriving in the middle of the night (and leaving first thing in the morning), and the bathroom had an 80s kids summer camp feel (no lights and doors that only go halfway down and may not lock), but it sufficed for being able to stay in Yosemite. The second site was further in (C section) and quieter so we got a blessed night's sleep! The bathroom was much better as well. The creek is nice as well as the beautiful bats at night. It's nice that we can collect wood so we had a nice campfire. Mary and Paul at the kiosk were so sweet and helpful!

It's true that there's really no flat area to set up the tent. Even on the flattest area, we were sliding down in our tent throughout the night. But this was mostly manageable! The other not so great part of this site is the lack of shade in the afternoon, especially when it gets so hot in the summer afternoon. We couldn't bear to spend any time around the camp in the afternoon. The bear box also gets incredibly hot, so you have to keep anything you don't want to melt in the cooler. Last thing, and I'm not sure if this was an issue just for our site, was constantly trying to fight off yellow jackets from our food at meal time. I'd bring a canopy with netting to eat at this site if you have one.

Pros: easy access to the bathroom and clear view of the night sky for star gazing! I like that this site wasn't sandwiched on both sides by other sites. Bathrooms were nice and clean.

Loved the campsite. It’s right next to part of the Merced river. The spot we had was so spacious. The bear box was clean. The parking was a little awkward but not terrible. Right across from the bathrooms which was so convenient.

Nice campground! Stay along the river & enjoy easy access to swimming! Seemed like a lot of people camped here to do just that.

Beautiful campsite that is well maintained. The rangers were very friendly and helpful. We had an amazing spot right next to the creek, so we were able to swim and hang out. The only downsides of the site are that it’s very close to the road, so you constantly hear cars, and there’s not very much shade so it got hot during the day. We loved the size of the bear box because we could fit everything in it, but it was in direct sunlight and would get so hot that we needed to wear gloves to open it. We would definitely stay at this campsite again.

Ground is some what flat and seriously huge space with river along the side.
We set up two landlock and a land nest shelter. Still had more room.

Lovely camping place. Clean and comfortable. Gorgeous river.
