Crane Flat Gas Station - (24/7 Gas Pumps)

Always stop here for a break before heading into Mammoth Lakes, but last year we found out they no longer sell beer, which is kind of a bummer. bathrooms are a hit or miss depending on what time of day you get there. This is usually just a quick passthrough nothing great.

Foreigners aware. No cashier and pumps did not accept any international card (Mastercard creditcard, Mastercard debit card, VISA debit card and maestro debit card all not working). Luckily we had enough gas to drive up to Oakhurst.

It would be cool if they posted some store hours. After hiking all day, it kinda sucks to try and stop by the closest convenience store/gas station only to find they close at 5? During the summer season? Found that out from the Ranger at the entrance, but still would be slightly helpful to have business hours listed so people can prepare a little.

NOT the only gas station in yosemite as you have one wawona road soon after entering the park. This gas station is conveniently located on your way to Tioga pass from Yosemite valley. Gas is expensive inside Yosemite. There is one more gas station further west on El Portal and one near the Tioga entrance. Restrrooms were cleaner than other places and a convenience store as well.

It’s a gas station that sells gas….and snacks…..in a national park.

The bathrooms at this place are gross, and I mean really gross. All the toilets were over-flowing with yuck and not flushing at all. If you're needing a bathroom break skip this place or you may suffer from PTSD the rest of your life.

Super thrilled that they were so honest, as well as a customer that brought my purse to them from outside; came back a day later after my purse gig loose while I geeked out on the wildflowers & bugs. They saved my trip, as usual couldn’t have functioned well on it.

A very bad experience at this gas station. Their outside water pump was not working & they said was turned off due to leak. When I asked if we could fill up my water jugs inside, one of the male employees literally rolled his eyes at me, huffed and gave me so much attitude. I told him we are staying at a primitive campground in the park with no running water! We had also just spent $100 here on gas and supplies so really couldn’t understand the issue especially as it wasn’t our fault their outside water wasn’t working. He finally let me fill up my water jugs. When my husband went in to fill up our campervan water tank, the same male employee said no. So my husband tried for 45 minutes to fill our tank from the outside bathroom using pots and pans as the tank wouldn’t fit in the sink. Only to find out the water in the bathroom wasn’t drinkable. So my husband went back in to ask again and the employee finally allowed him to fill the tank. 1 hour wasted here and much grief for simply trying to get water - a basic necessity which we literally need to survive and which we do not have access to in our campground. The lack of humanity from the employee was astounding. I’m not sure where he thinks we were supposed to get water from otherwise, were we supposed to just go thirsty?! Unbelievable. The park should seriously consider doing something about this employee. Water is a basic necessity for survival for gods sake.

As of a month ago, their prices were cheaper than in Owen's Valley -- something like $4.40/gal! (Alas, I thought I took a pic to prove it, but I can't find it.) I have no idea why this is the case, but there it is. Check it out if you have a chance, and maybe you, too, will luck out!

Yes it's expensive. But the nearest reasonably priced gas station is about 50 miles away. We didn't fill the tank. Just put in $25. The store was well stocked. Prices were reasonable. Especially for soda. They were out of coffee in late afternoon.

I'm not sure if they were having system issues or if something else was going on, but when we arrived at ~9 PM on 7/13, the pumps weren't working. They accepted credit card input, prompted for gas choice, but when we tried to actually pump... it wouldn't work. Other visitors reported the same behavior. At first I thought it might just be closed but signs indicated that the pumps were available 24/7. I feel bad for giving the 1 star rating but its hard to give a good rating to a gas station that doesn't have any gas...

No gas at the gas station. They didn't put a sign saying so at the entrance, so there were still cars coming in one after another only to be disappointed that they couldn't get gas. Staff just said that the system was down, so not sure what the actual reason was for not being able to dispense gas. Restrooms were nice though.

Nearest gas station from Yosemite Village. Very nice and clean place. Gas price are high but I understood the reason. Helpful employees at station. Thank you.

If you're getting gas here you probably have no other choice but they have good snacks, beer and T-shirts for sale. Also the people working here are always extremely nice so it's a good pitstop

Store/gas station that's just around the corner from Crane Flat. How has this place not been reviewed yet?? I was put in charge of menu planning for this weekend. I grabbed everything I wanted to cook, but then realized that I had forgotten this, I wanted to cook that, I want to eat these, etc. My fellow campers had brought bratwurst to cook over the fire. These fatty brats looked so damn good, I wanted to buy some for myself. And voila. The store had them. Granted it was $6.50 for a pack of 5, but these were the best tasting brats I've had at any bbq. Also bought avocados, eggs, artichoke, onion, a Bridalveil postcard, and some juices. Paid a little fortune for them, but definitely worth the convenience. Firewood is available at $8.50 per box. Burn it where you buy it! We also forgot sleeping bags on this trip, but this store was a godsend when we realized that they sold fleece sleeping bags for $18.95 each. They definitely weren't as good as regular sleeping bags, but at that price, we kept warm and were able to sleep relatively comfortably. Gas prices are a little high, but you won't find a station this close by. Guys at the counter are chipper and very helpful.

We had a fantastic day in Yosemite visiting Glacier Point and the valley so needed gas to get us east to Lee Vining. We found Crane Flat Gas Station. As the pumps require a zip code and we are from Canada we always have to go and see the cashier first to get our Visa card pre approved. I went up to the cashier and told him that I was from Canada and needed him to take care of my Visa card first and he said gruffly I don't need zip code. Not understanding what he was meaning I informed him at all the previous gas stations I had to have Visa card processed first. He then shouted at me " I told you you don't need a zip code" I am a 66 year old senior and have not met such an ignorant miserable person in my life. As I left him I wished him a wonderful day.

Yes, gas prices are high here, but it is out in the middle of nowhere. My complaint is that the pump didn't know when to shut off. I ended spilling some gas down the side of the car, which I quickly wiped up. Not good to spill gas in a wilderness, dry area or on car paint! I mentioned it to the girl at the counter and she said she'd get it attended to. Wonder if that happened.
