Great campsite! It's right in-between two sites, but super spacious/spread out and you can walk down to the river right from the site. We went mid-June on weekdays and our neighbors were always quiet/kept to their area. It would get hot (but not unbearable) and very cold at night!!However, the river access right in front is more of the rougher part of the river (fast with lots of rocks), as opposed to further downstream where the water is very calm. I preferred it in the end though because the water was like white noise and definitely a lesser chance of mosquitoes. There was also good shade since there were tall trees right next to the bear box/table/firepit.The campgrounds itself are sooo peaceful and calm, bathrooms were extremely clean (from our campsite it was only a short walk across the road) and they're regular toilets! Driving into the valley took about 45 minutes one-way, but the trip is beautiful. TIP: If you need free wifi, head to the Wawona Library down the road. Even if it's closed you can get wifi if you're in the parking lot. :)Best first Yosemite trip ever!!

Beautiful River-side camp site (51). Large spot for our 6 person tent plus plenty of space for the kids to play and explore. Clean flushing toilets with soap and water for handwashing. The only drawback is there are no showers in Wawona. The closest showers were in Oakhurst or Yosemite Valley. Wawona campsites were much more spacious compared to the ones we saw in Yosemite Valley. I would gladly camp here again if in Yosemite.

Beautiful. Not a lot of privacy from neighboring sites, though. And several people just walked right through my campsite to see the river, which felt a little invasive and rude.
