Wawona - Mariposa County, CA

About Wawona

A large mid-elevation basin, Wawona has hosted many people and activities for centuries. This area was originally home to American Indians but became a prosperous settlement in the 19th century when people were traveling through Yosemite Valley.

Wawona is located entirely within Yosemite National Park and has approximately 160 year-round residents. During peak tourist season, the number of inhabitants increases dramatically due to the large number of cabin rentals.
