Neighborhood highlights

In Wawona, the best kept secret place to live in Yosemite for generations. We walk in the same steps as my ancestors. This is such a special place.

Spectacular Glacier Point vistas and lush Yosemite Valley are 30-40 minutes. Giant sequoias of Mariposa Grove just 7 miles from your doorstep. You can start all of the trails to Half Dome, Nevada Falls, and even hike down to the Valley from Glacier Point, or you can start from the Valley. Your choice!

The Mariposa Grove of giant sequoia trees is a mere ten minute drive south.

Yosemite National Park is Mother Nature’s most impressive creation in the majestic West. Wawona is the best-kept secret inside Yosemite, and historic Camp Chilnualna (pronounced “Chill New All Na”) in Yosemite has been Wawona’s beating heart for nearly a century.

No matter what you love most about Yosemite—from its thunderous, cascading waterfalls, to epic granite monoliths and unparalleled wildlife—you will fall in love with Wawona because it has everything except hordes of tourists invading your precious experience at every turn.

Have you ever:

- Awoken to take a one-minute walk to the best swimming hole in the pristine Merced River?
- Felt the exhilarating flow of a bona fide Yosemite waterfall washing over your entire body?
- Hooked a hungry Yosemite trout and taken it home for the freshest grilled fish dinner ever?
- Stared at a luminous sunset reflecting off epic Wawona Dome?
- Lay down on an ancient granite boulder and watched the stars of the Zodiac drift across the horizon?

These are a select few from an endless list of profound experiences happening any given day when you stay at Camp Chilnaualna in Yosemite. Take advantage of our 80 years of experience hosting travelers in Wawona.

For Families, the river swimming hole with warm pools in the summer is 150 feet away. The Pioneer Yosemite History Center has original buildings from the 1800s and a covered bridge that is easy to walk around.

For Golfers, the Wawona golf course is a 9-hole course.

For Hotel Bar/Restaurants, you can sit on the front porch of the classic Wawona Hotel, or go to the Valley to the Ahwahnee Hotel.

Lives in Wawona, California
3rd generation Yosemite son, and torch bearer of Camp Chilnualna in Wawona. Yosemite's best unkept secret since 1933. With 150 years of family experiences in Yosemite, I still find something new worth noticing every day & more than anything I love to share our history and our home with others. Families have made Wawona & Camp Chilnualna a tradition that spans generations. The best neighborhood in town because it's your neighborhood. I am here for you everyday of the year, because I never go anywhere & 6 hours of sleep per night is merely a suggestion. Oh, airbnb wants me to give you my motto - they think I'd have a motto? Ok I have a motto. You see, I've always strived to be an optimist, and was for a long time. It's tremendously hard work because my arch enemy, "the pessimist" is much greater in numbers, and has a terrible weapon we optimists can never fire - it's called "I'm just being realistic" and it's cheating to use it. Anyway I upgraded my motto from "The glass is half-full" to simply "Half-Glass Full". I need so much less than a full glass to feel grateful, and with gratitude we get to live half-glass full everyday. Pessimists can't touch it.
