What people say

Thatch Travel
"Crane Flat is located about 30 minutes from Yosemite Valley and has 166 tent and RV sites available for reservation only. Each site contains a fire ring, picnic table, and bear safe food locker. There is a nearby bathroom with drinking water and flush toilets. The campground is a great backup if you’re looking to stay in the Valley, but can’t get a first-come-first-serve spot, or reservation. It’s also a great home base if you’re looking to explore both the Valley and Tuolomne Meadows area due to it’s location near the junction of Big Oak Flat Rd. Most of the sites are shaded well by trees, though they can sometimes feel a bit crowded due to their close proximity to each other. The campground is open seasonally, usually July through mid-October. Sites are $26/night."

"This is our favorite campsite outside of Yosemite Valley! It's about 30 minutes from the Valley but offers quick access to some amazing sites such as Merced Grove and Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias. "
