Very nice, spacious site. The river was behind us. The bathroom was very primitive. There wasn't even a light! But there was soap & toilet paper.

Beautiful campground situated next to the river. It was nice being outside the popular, crowded valley but still close enough to drive there (45 mins).

We enjoyed our stay at the campground for 2 nights. The situation was great, the restrooms were clean. We have had everything we needed. Marie & Mathieu (France)

It was nice to see an exhibit of distant past that was brought out to public (Chinese laundry historical exhibition). Unlike the campgrounds in the Yosemite valley, its desolation (zero signal here) of being cut from the world was nice for a day.

Calmer and more about the "camping" experience, Wawona is the ideal slow start to the main spectacle of the Yosemite Valley.
