Crane Flat Campground

The location was great and really enjoyed the people and camp host. Booking through Reservation.gov was not easy, but happy we got a spot.

This campground is nice. It is also in a very heavily bear centric area so the rangers are very uptight about bear lockers, food being left out...etc which is fair. What I did not appreciate is how rude some of the younger rangers were. They had an attitude that I should know everything about bears, camping...etc. There were two older rangers that were fantastic and extremely nice. I wish that would rub off on the younger rangers as we are all there to relax and enjoy the woods.

The campground stinks for Water and dish washing as both are far from most sites and the spots around the campground and really terrible for Trailers/Vans...etc Super tight and very sloped - comical how bad it is and during the renovation they neglected to level out the pads! This campground is the closest to the north entrance so that was nice. Would I stay here again? Only if I had to.

Perfect spot!

Crane Flat Campground was a wonderful place to stay. The sites are open, roomy, and surrounded by beautiful greenery that makes the whole area feel peaceful. Our campsite was also very close to the bathrooms, which were clean and easy to access. Another huge plus is that the 24‑hour gas station is just minutes away, which made it super convenient for late‑night needs or early‑morning drives. Overall, we loved how comfortable, quiet, and scenic the campground felt. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights

Great campsites. Can get smokey. campers should limit their fires and ensure they are burning clean dry wood purchased in park of collected on site. Smoke is hazardous to you health and every effort should be made to limit it.

Checkout the evening programs of they are offered during your stay. We learned about bears and the night sky! The park rangers were helpful and the giant sequoia grove nearby is a great warmup walk for other hikes in the park. Less hot than lower elevation campgrounds, which was important in mid June this year. Site 504 only accommodates two small compact cars, nothing bigger.

Nice clean site and facilities. Decent spacing between adjacent sites. Limited parking at this site (529), plenty of room for my full sized truck but not much more. The staff at the park were very friendly and helpful.

Our neighbors were up drinking and telling loud stories until I yelled at them at midnight. In then took them another 45 minutes to stop re arranging their tents…. We were getting up at 4 AM to go hiking! Also no TP in the men’s bathroom Monday morning. Camp host where!?!?

Stayed at site 113, and it was so amazing. We checked in with the ranger, and he was so nice and helpful. He offered activities and had answers for every question. The camp is very spacious and private. We only had neighbors below us, and you can’t see the other campers on the right. Deer come and visit your site, and the restrooms had running water. Camp was only 30min away from Curry Village. One of the best sites I’ve stayed at recently.

Beautiful campground among the high country forest. Sites are significantly larger and less crowded than Pines campgrounds in the valley.
