Crane Flat Campground

Had an amazing experience at Crane Flat for my first solo trip. Campsite and facilities were clean and tidy. As for #436, a few steps down from the car port is the bench, fire ring and bear locker. There was a level tent area just behind the bushes (with a little path between them).

Great spot, not too far from the Valley, unique campground. Potable water and flush toilets, active bears nearby. Would love to come back.

Crane Flat is the perfect place to take a night after a backpacking trip to rest and regroup for the long drive home. The camp is quiter than the campgrounds in the valley. Sites are a bit more spacious. Do bring a headlamp, as there’s no electricity and hence no lights in the bathroom.

The campground was great and the rangers were wonderful. However, the campsite description was wrong and could not accommodate two vehicles and the picnic table was broken. The toilet in the men’s restroom near site 421 was broken.

A beautiful place. A memory remains forever in our memory.

This campground is very convenient for people going up hwy 120. It is quiet and tucked away, and yet still has ranger programs. And you can still beautiful sky at night, unlike the valley. Drawback is that there is no electricity and barely any cell signal. Lastly, if you forgot firewood or some snacks, try the gas station which is only 2 mins away before you head down into the valley, which will take at least 1 hour round trip.

Very nice place and clean loved

Site 313 was awesome very spacious and in a well shaded area parking was flat which was great for our pop up camper on our car. Overall location was nice and only 35 min away from main tourist spots in Yosemite. Bathrooms could use work they were only clean for a few hours in the morning and into the afternoon and evening there was toilet paper everywhere and flooded toilets .We had this campsite as a back up and fortunately we did we had to move campsites due to no shade and lack of space for our group of 6

Site 525 is not equipped for groups of 6 my group was very cramped and had very little room to have a decent set up . I would say 4 can comfortably fit at this site , there is no shade expect direct sunlight beaming down during the day . Fortunately we had a 2nd campsite booked and had to take all of our belongings and up and move to the other campsite that was equipped with more space and shaded . I definitely wish this campground would have a 2 day minimum booking rule in place it’s extremely inconvenient not being able to stay in one campsite because a 1 night reservation decided to book your campsite the night before . Overall location was nice only 35 min away from Yosemite touristy spots. Bathrooms could have been kept up more and staff could have been a little friendlier

Great campground! Clean, great location and the staff was super helpful and nice!
