Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights7 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Crane Flat Campground sits at about 6,200 feet on the park's western approach, roughly 17 miles (about 30 minutes) northwest of Yosemite Valley and 8 miles from the Big Oak Flat entrance. The site feels like high-Sierra woodland stands of sugar pine, red fir and lodgepole pine create a mix of sun and shade, with vanilla-scented Jeffrey pine and western juniper punctuating the sites and summer wildflowers coloring nearby meadows.










Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (73,397 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
