Close to Mariposa and the tall sequoias. Campsite was large and somewhat secluded. Bathrooms were adequate. Clean drinking water is available. If you can get a site it’s a nice place to stay.

Excellent location. Close to bathrooms and privacy spot. I was nervous because reviews talked about being on a hill. Didn’t even notice that. Large lot

Tricky to find at flat spot at 47, all slightly sloping, but it's a gorgeous location right next to the stream. Nearest toilet had no lights, but a longer gets you to a great block with lights.

I love the Wawona campground, the fact that I booked it 2hrs before our arrival, they are so accommodating and friendly, I love that we almost had it for ourselves especially because it’s weekdays, so quiet at night no time limit you can do whatever you want but be responsible still at all times, and the staffs are great, they’ll give you a map for yosemite valley, what places to visit and all that. Just ask the front desk, they are friendly. ☺️

Not all sites have level parking. The campground is the closest to Mariposa Grove and because of that proximity we will stay here again.

Camp host was very nice and informative. My site was on the river bank but sites on each side of me were close and slightly cramped. Extremely close to Mariposa Grove and not a bad drive to the valley or Glacier Point. Overall, a nice beautiful experience.

Campground was nice. My only complaint was the lights in the bathroom did not work at night.
