The Wawona Horse Camp, located near the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park, is located on the south fork of the Merced River and a 45 minute drive from Yosemite Valley. Trails here are beautiful and include one to the Mariposa Grove of Sequoia trees.

Read board at entrance to camp for information on disposing of manure (in bags at dumpster, bring lots of large bags (can’t buy them there), ask maintenance yard just past camp if can use wheelbarrow) Check in/ask at Stables when you arrive for the latest information. Beryl, the ranger who runs wagon rides on other side of river, is very knowledgeable (very interesting to chat with) and helpful. Do not ride through Pioneer History area. Maximum two horses at a time on the covered wooden bridge. Do not ride up on the rent string or pass them without permission of the wranglers. Trails are all relatively wide and well maintained.
