Our stay at loop 5 site 516 was very pleasant. The tent pad fit just right for our 6 person tent. Any larger of a tent and I don’t think it would’ve worked out well. The parking spot was perfect for our van. The bathrooms were clean and there is a spout outside the bathroom to fill up water if needed. There is a gas station right outside the campsite too. Would definitely come again.

It’s higher in the mountains and it will take 30 minutes drive to the valley, but in the summer hot days it’s an advantage to be there in comfort temperatures in the morning, also all spots are in the shade.

Outstanding rehabilitation work! We were really impressed with the new roadways, retaining walls, and cleared tree canopy. The efforts to better level each camp site for tent pad function was also obvious. We will be back to Crane Flat!
