About Crane Flat Campground
**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.** **Pay attention to the vehicle limit per site. Not all sites can accommodate two vehicles.** Crane Flat Campground is located in breathtaking Yosemite National Park in Central California's rugged Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The site is 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. **Reservation Tips!**Campsites in Yosemite are extremely popular and typically sell out in minutes.
