About
Crane Valley Group Campground is located adjacent to Bass Lake in the Sierra National Forest, providing group camping in a dense forest of oak, cedar, and pine trees. While the sites do not offer direct lake views, the campground provides convenient access to Bass Lake's many recreational activities including motorized and non-motorized boating, fishing, swimming, sailing, and water skiing. The campground features 7 group sites (A through G) that can accommodate between 12 and 30 people each, with a maximum of 45 people per site. Each site is equipped with fire rings, grills, and picnic tables. Portable toilets are provided on-site, but there is no potable water available, so all campers must bring their own drinking water supply. The campground is operated by Sierra Recreation, a division of California Land Management, and reservations are handled through Recreation.gov. The maximum length of stay is 14 days, with 2-night minimums on weekends and 3-night minimums on holidays. RVs up to 40 feet are 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.
