About Wawona Campground

Wawona Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The site is situated at the southern end of the park, 27 miles and approximately 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley, at an elevation of 4000 feet.  Wawona was home to the park's headquarters in 1904 and historic structures still stand today. The majestic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is just a short drive away. Within Yosemite, visitors gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area and much more. When on reservation, Wawona campsites are available to reserve up to five months in advance on the 15th of each month at 7:00 a.m. PST. For example, on January 15, arrival dates for the period May 15 to June 14 become available to reserve, and therefore, the full arrival date window would be from the campground open date to June 14.   Reservation Tips! Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes. Login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. You may only add reservations to your cart and proceed with your reservation if you are logged into your account. The recreation.gov call center does NOT have access to additional sites or additional information beyond what is published on recreation.gov.  Yosemite National Park Campground Reservation Dates

Campground was extremely clean. Saw and talked to Rangers everyday. All of them were very excellent. They provided valuable information and were very friendly. The volunteer at the gate was also great. We were in a jeep and looking for places to off-road. He provided great destinations each day. Supplies were readily available just a couple miles from the camp.

Top notch.

Came for my son’s 2nd birthday I enjoyed it. Will say this is really close to the next campsite but it was not an issue for us as everyone who stayed there only came to sleep and they would dip really early but if your looking to find the perfect side by side campground I’d say th one we stayed and the one next to it are good. The restrooms were really close including the water fountain. Just be aware of when your booking they do NOT let you in until noon as they close the gate from loop b and c temporarily if you plan on coming earlier than check in time just be aware of this. It was about an hour drive up to the park but well worth it

Great campground, but a long, tense drive from the Valley after a busy day of hiking. Peaceful, good size sites, but bathrooms aren't convenient to all sites.

THe first site I was at was great, we were on a hill far away from other tents. the second site we were less than 20 feet from the nearest tent, which wasn't nice.

Campsite was pretty exposed to the sun, so it activated my MRDS. Close proximity to 3 other sites (“shared backyards”). Easy walk to the creek and Mariposa Grove shuttles
