I love this campground but the rangers always seem to want to find something wrong with our site. Their patrolling is very aggressive and accusatory. In addition the bear cages are very small and I wish there was extra room. Restrooms near site 61 are clean but the restrooms near site 49 are not clean. Thank you to everyone for their work.

Park Rangers were roving in a personal vehicle. One Park Ranger was not wearing the correct uniform, wearing unpolishable tan boots. This isn't their fault, they are being failed by supervisors that aren't doing their jobs to get these public servants the correct equipment and outfits. No standards. Total joke. This district drags the entire service presenting to the public this way.

We had a wonderful stay. We met lots of friendly guests and rangers. It was very quiet at night and the lake is pristine. It is very close to Mariposa and the beautiful sequoias.

This guy pace is amazing. The 7pm amphitheater gathering is great and informative. Being next to the River is an absolute plus. Campground is very well taken care of with clean restrooms.

We always enjoy camping at Wawona. The campground is well cared for and usually very clean. Come prepared with your own shower setup and you’ll be very comfortable. The rangers were professional, kind and very helpful. We enjoyed visits to Tenaya lake and the valley floor.

Staff very friendly. Very spacious. The river is about a 100 ft away from the campsite a very short walk. Amazing spot

This was a good spot as it was close to the bathrooms, but we missed a lot that there are no electric hookups in all the Yosemite Valley campgrounds, nor water. Hope you could put this as the electric generators can only be used during restricted hours, and internet is limited so we needed to use AC/DC for the starlink and be connected for work and business.
