Nearby Activities & Attractions

Yosemite Wawona Campground is close to a number of attractions and activities that will be enjoyed by the whole family.

• Pioneer Yosemite History Center
  The scenery of Yosemite is impressive in itself, but how many people actually know the history of the park? The Pioneer Yosemite History Center provides a unique look at historic structures from different eras, preserving these buildings for generations to come. Among other structures, you can view John Muir’s cabin and Cedar Cottage (built in 1859 and the oldest structure in the park).
• Mariposa Grove
  From Wawona, you can ride the shuttle to the Mariposa Grove. Here you’ll see Giant Sequoias, towering above. Take a walk through the largest grove in the park to view the walk-through California Tree and the Grizzly Giant that is at least 1900 years old and the 25th largest tree in the world.
• Hiking
  When staying at the Wawona Campground, you’ll find a number of hiking trails in close proximity, giving you access to special reaches of the beautiful wilderness in Yosemite. An easy 3.5-mile loop is the Wawona Meadow Loop, taking you on both paved and unpaved roads around the meadow. The Swinging Bridge Loop is another easy trek, 4.8 miles of lovely views. Another moderate 6-mile hike will take you from the Wawona Hotel to the Mariposa Grove.
