Share: X Facebook
Cell signal:

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. 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.
