Crane Flat Campground Closed

Post by maverick »

Crane Flat Campground closed from noon on August 10 through noon on August 14 due to flea treatment after the plague incident.

Yosemite NPS:
The park is working with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) regarding a case of human plague in California involving an individual who camped at the Crane Flat Campground and visited the Stanislaus National Forest. As an extremely precautionary public health measure, flea treatment will be applied to rodent burrows in the Crane Flat Campground in Yosemite National Park early next week. The campground will be closed from Noon Monday, August 10 through Noon Friday, August 14 to allow crews to work in the area. This flea treatment is a commonly used to protect wildlife, pets, and human health from this non-native disease. Yosemite National Park remains open and all other campgrounds and facilities in the park remain open as well.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
