My wife and I camped at Wawona on our honeymoon in 1988 and we have been wanting to return to Yosemite ever since. We finally made it in 2006, camping 7 nites in the valley (the maximum they allow) and 3 nites at Wawona. The Wawona segment was the icing on the cake because it enabled us to stay at... more

I took this campground because it was the only spot left in Yosemite. Stayed in the A section.The location is bad because it is at the very entrance to the park so if you wake up, break camp and drive down through the park you will have to rush your day and had better not be staying any farther than... more

Stayed here in late OCT as a walk-up since the site is no longer accepting reservations for the season. We arrived on FRI eve at 5.30 and noticed that most of the campsites were closed off (I think Group B and C sites were closed off). It was already full so we stayed outside the park at Big Sandy in... more

Was so looking forward to camping in Yosemite with our 22 ft. long trailer after an absence from the park of close to 20 years. What an initial disappointment the Wawona campground was. I had reserved a riverside site. Imagine our surprise to arrive and see that while the picnic table was fairly close to the river, our parking spot... more

I would not stay anywhere else in Yosemite. Place is not as crowded as the valley and very quiet in general. There is a beautiful creek that runs through the campground which I would recommend staying as close to as possible. This will also help you fall asleep quickly. It is a very easy place to collect wood just hike... more

Wawona is a great place to camp, the only down side was that there was no showers (we had to either wash ourselves in the freezing bathroom sink or drive down to curry village for a $5 per person shower. our camp site was a little too far from all the major hiking trails (sentinel dome, and all major water... more

I originally wanted to stay in Yosemite Valley but all sites were full, so we ended up booking 3 days at Wawona Campground; we loved it. We had site #46 in loop C, near the river/creek and a large pool which we enjoyed everyday after hiking. We visited the valley one day and we enjoyed the landmarks, we got to... more

We stayed Sunday to Friday in early June at site 88 on forested C loop in Wawona campground. Although the campground was listed as full, there were some no show or early departures since a few sites near us were empty most of the week. C loop is in the back. Along the river are some nice sites that accommodate... more
