Crane Flat Campground
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Crane Flat Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, conveniently located 17 miles from Yosemite Valley at an elevation of 6,200 feet. Within Yosemite, visitors can gaze upon waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, vast wilderness areas and so much more. Crane Flat recently underwent a complete overhaul and rehabilitation. Please be mindful of young plants and shrubs by keeping all wheels on parking pads and camping equipment within established campsites, and pay attention to the vehicle limit per site — not all sites can accommodate two vehicles. Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes; login to your account or create a new account before the 7:00 a.m. (PST) release time. The campground offers campsites that can accommodate both tents and RVs. Roads and parking spurs are paved, and flush toilets and drinking water are provided. Each campsite contains a picnic table, fire ring and a food storage locker, and a gas station and small general store are nearby. There is no electricity in the campground, which means no lights in the restrooms — bring a light source! Yosemite's trails, cliffs, roads and rivers provide endless recreational activities for any kind of visitor. Hiking, biking, rock climbing, fishing, horseback riding, rafting, auto touring and photography are all very popular. Crane Flat is located between the Tuolumne and Merced Groves of Giant Sequoias, both of which require a 2.5 to 3-mile roundtrip hike to view, and the White Wolf area on Tioga Road also offers many hiking opportunities. The area is forested with stands of Sugar pine, Red fir and Lodgepole pine, offering a pleasant combination of sun and shade, with vanilla-scented Jeffrey pine and picturesque western Juniper dotting the landscape and vibrant summer wildflowers filling the open meadows nearby. Just 30 minutes away is Yosemite Valley, an awe-inspiring landscape containing many of the famous features for which the park is known, with abundant hiking trails and bike paths, rafting on the Merced River when water levels are sufficient, guided bus tours, educational programs, museums, ranger-led activities and an art center with workshops. The Tioga Road offers a 39-mile scenic drive past forests, meadows, lakes and granite domes; beautiful Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, just 23 miles from Crane Flat, is home to spectacular scenery and numerous wilderness trailheads; and Glacier Point has sweeping views of Yosemite Valley, Little Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls and Clouds Rest.
