There is a gas station and minimal convenience items located nearby at Crane Flat. Trailheads for both the Merced Grove and Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias are located within a short drive of the campground.

Just as in the Big Sur area, California’s record setting storms have been hard on portions of the Yosemite Region. While Hwy. 140 (El Portal Road) and Hwy. 41 (Wawona Road) remain open and clear for all vehicular traffic (always look out for rocks and debris on the roadway), there are still issues on Hwy. 120 as of the end of March. more »
