About
Overview
Crane Valley will be closed the entire 2019 - 2028 camping season due to a massive hazard tree removal
Crane Valley Group Campground is located adjacent to Bass Lake and can accommodate up to 7 groups with tents and RVs. The facility is shaded by a dense forest of oak, cedar and pine trees, and although none of the sites offer direct views of the lake, the campground offers convenient access to the many recreational activities and attractions in the area.
Recreation
Activities on Bass Lake include motorized and non-motorized boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, sailing and water skiing. California Land Management sponsors a variety of interpretive programs throughout the summer at several locations in the Bass Lake area.
Facilities
This group campground has 7 sites that can accommodate between 12 to 30 people each. Each site has grills, fire rings and tables. Portable toilets are provided, but campers must bring drinking water.
Natural Features
The Sierra National Forest, located on the western slope of the central Sierra Nevada, is known for its spectacular mountain scenery and abundant natural resources.
The terrain includes rolling, oak-covered foothills, heavily forested middle elevation slopes and the starkly beautiful alpine landscape of the High Sierra.
Nearby Attractions
Yosemite National Park is under an hour away and makes an ideal day trip from Crane Valley Campground.

Is CRANE VALLEY fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
