Love this campsite. It is kept clean and it is a great spot to drive into Yosemite Valley & Mariposa Grove. :)

First time staying here- loved it! Definitely a drive from the valley but very peaceful and provides close access to other less populated areas of the park that are GEMS

We had a nice riverfront site a short walk to the bathroom. Bathroom was rustic but kept clean. Site was level with plenty of options to put our tents. Overall love to camp in Wawona the first night in the park after the long drive.

Loved it next to the river. Wish I had more time to spend there. It was my first time camping at Wawona

Despite not having a direct creek view or access, this was an excellent site with very good shade from plenty of trees. Lots of spots to hitch up a hammock and can still hear the creek (site next door has creek views and access).

Campsite C093 was the site we reserved, and I would say it was a very nice campsite. It was not too far from the restroom and had enough shade for us to relax under when the sun got hot. Even though it was late August, the afternoon sun was still beating down, so having plenty of shade helped a lot.
The campsite also had a nice, clear opening that allowed us to see the other sites around us. It was also close enough to the river that we could easily walk over whenever we wanted to hang out by the water. One thing to keep in mind is that the campsite does have a slight slope. There was also some dry grass near the fire pit, which we made sure to clear away before starting our campfire for safety.
Overall, the campsite was beautiful and comfortable, and we had a wonderful experience. It was a great place for my loved ones and me to relax, spend time together, and enjoy the outdoors while cooking some delicious food. :)
