Wawona Campground

On the far south side of Yosemite National Park is the Wawona Area with the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia, the Wawona Hotel, Visitor Center, and Wawona Campground. The Wawona Campground has 47 tent only and 4 RV First-Come-First-Serve campgrounds right up against the South Fork of the Merced River. It’s a beautiful spot at 4,000’ elevation and very nearby the Wawona Hotel.

The Hotel has a delicious bar and restaurant, a store, and a Visitor Center with old wonderful architecture. My wife and I really enjoyed sitting by the fire with a drink in the hotel lobby before we booked it in the eerie fog to the cold campsite.

Make sure to bring your fishing pole to the camping spot and be on the lookout for some gorgeous fog that rolls in. In November the campsite was quite cold but very cozy with the fire and a good tent. Also the flush bathrooms were heated!
