I camped here after arriving in Yosemite without a reservation. Which meant there were no campsites available in the valley, so up up up I went to Crane Flat and then on to the campground reservation building. All campsites in the park are handled through a few campground reservation offices. I was assigned site 433, which had a semi level spot to pitch my tent, but was next to the bathroom, which consisted of a circle of porta potties that were in need of servicing. This is a large spread out campground in the trees with five loops. It seemed that my loop was tent only, but it could have been luck of the draw as well. The big thing about the whole campground is that rangers said a team of bears had been hanging around and that it was imperative to put everything with any kind of scent in the bear boxes. In fact, when I came back after visiting the valley there was a “bear jam” near the entrance to the campground where a bear was grazing, and later when visiting with camping neighborhoods they said they saw a bear on the outskirts of the campground that morning. So, use the bee boxes!! If you want a shower you will have to head to the valley or outside the park. It was nice to be away from the crowds in the valley.
