Lounge of Tomorrow - View Single Post - A Weekend Drive, with a Swank Camp Recon Side Mission (Photo Heavy!)

On Sunday, we met LibraryVixen for breakfast, and then headed off for a little side trip to Yosemite.

Once we entered the northern gate, we decided to do some recon for the perfect sites for a future Swank Camp.

We found the PERFECT ones at Crane Flat, which is about a 20-minute drive north of the main valley.

The sites shown are 502,504,506,508,and 510, as shown on this map:

As you can see from the pictures, there is ample parking, ample bear box space, flat ground, and tons of shade. We checked all the other sites at the campground, and they were on hills and pretty close together. This cluster of sites is perfect for a communal environment, located at the back of the main campground, with site 502 being a great spot for nightly campfires.

We checked a lot of other campgrounds, but they were very crowded with tiny sites.

So, hopefully, we'll find this helpful one day when planning another Swank Camp.

Next.... the sites of Yosemite!
