The Wawona Campground has 93 campsites and offers amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. The campground is available on a first-come-first-serve basis, so it’s important to arrive early in the day to secure your spot. An interesting fact about the area is that Wawona is a Native American word meaning “Big Trees,” which is fitting since the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is just a short drive away.
