Crane Valley Group Campground sits in a dense forest of oak, cedar, and pine in the Sierra National Forest, adjacent to Bass Lake. The facility features seven individual group sites that each accommodate between 12 and 30 campers with space for tents and RVs. Every group site is furnished with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. Portable toilets are available on site, though campers must bring their own drinking water. Bass Lake offers nearby access for boating, fishing, and swimming, while Yosemite National Park lies less than an hour's drive away.
