Crane Flat Campground, Campground in Yosemite National Park, US
Crane Flat Campground sits at 6,200 feet elevation within Yosemite National Park, surrounded by pine forests and grassy meadows near the intersection of Big Oak Flat Road.
The land where Crane Flat Campground now stands was inhabited by the Ahwahneechee people for 4,000 years before becoming part of Yosemite National Park in 1890.
The campground maintains traditional outdoor recreation practices through designated fire rings and communal spaces where visitors share stories of their park experiences.
The seasonal campground operates from May to September, offering pit toilets, picnic tables, and bear-proof storage boxes for food safety in the wilderness.
During winter months, the campground area transforms into a natural snow play zone where families gather for sledding activities on the surrounding hills.
