About
Crane Valley Group Campground sits adjacent to Bass Lake in the Sierra National Forest, offering 7 group sites that can accommodate between 12 and 45 people each. The campground is shaded by a dense forest of oak, cedar, and pine trees, and while none of the sites offer direct views of the lake, the location provides convenient access to the many recreational activities available in the Bass Lake area. Activities on Bass Lake include motorized and non-motorized boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, sailing, and water skiing. Yosemite National Park is under an hour away and makes an ideal day trip from the campground. The terrain includes rolling, oak-covered foothills, heavily forested middle elevation slopes, and the starkly beautiful alpine landscape of the High Sierra. The campground is primitive with portable toilets and no potable water. Campers must bring their own drinking water. Each site has fire rings, grills, and picnic tables. RVs up to 40 feet can be accommodated.
Directions
From Fresno, California, take Highway 41 north through Oakhurst. Turn right on Forest Road 222 towards Bass Lake. Keep right for 3.5 miles to the campground.
