Nice park and nice stay. Restrooms need a good cleaning. Campsite was large and nice with a cover over the picnic table. Burn ban is in effect but neighboring campsite had a large fire and I had to tell them about the burn ban which was clearly posted more than once at the entrance. No staff were available and not one employee was seen our entire stay. Check in just had our site tag on a bulletin board at the entrance. Park was nice and quiet and we enjoyed watching all of the deer in the campground.

It is very cool place. We spent this weekend there. Nice wheatear nice view. Very nice tables with really big roofs that delivers enough shadow. But I never saw so much ants ants and scorpions on the sites. Looks like park don't use enough deterrents to protect sites. For your understanding during weekend one scorpion bites one of our friend. Another one somehow hides on our stuff and we bring him home. and one more hides in our other friends stuff and they saw him in their garage.

This COE campground is a pleasant surprise. The sites are well spaced, level, paved, and very well designed. A large portion of the park is currently closed, so the area that is open feels like a nice little neighborhood. The bathhouse is a bit primitive, but totally adequate.

Very nice park and campground. Sites were level and OK distance apart. Bathrooms need updating and better cleaning but we're workable. Sites in our area had power, water and sewer. The overall area was beautiful with nice areas to walk.

Nicely maintained campground on Canyon Lake. Clean restrooms with wonderfully hot showers and nice staff. Read a number of bad reviews about grouchy, miserable staff. We had no problems with anyone. In fact the lady at the gate was beyond kind. So sweet and welcoming everytime we passed her.

Cranes Mill Park was a great place to visit and we enjoyed our camping vacation. The staff was awesome "Thank you" to Susan, Mary Lou, Mary, Joe & all the staff! We got to relax, enjoyed the view, hiked a bit, saw many deer at a small distance, fishing pier within walking distance and it was quiet. The area was clean, mowed, and the restrooms/shower area were kept clean & warm since it was cold outside approx. 39 degrees. Our family is definitely returning on our next vacay!

Bathrooms and showers were extremely dirty. Not cleaned once in the 4 days I was there. Everything else was great.

Wouldn't recommend it if you like to leave your campsite after 10pm. If you choose to go to the store you will not be allowed to drive back in you have to park at gate and walk all the way to the back! Kinda weird! They don't tell u this till after you pay for your non refundable deposit!

Surprised about the many bad reviews about the attendants. We came before the crazy winter storm hit. The couple was nice, they are strict with the check in and check out, yes, but never disrespectful. There was another attendant on day also nice and helpful. I would say people are a little rude in the town, but I think that how they are around here. We are beyond thankful for this campground. They have heater and hot water in the clean bathrooms. A life saver when our water was frozen. We never lost power here. Felt secure and safe here during this crazy storm. The park os beautiful. We stayed a week due to the lack of power at home. Thank you!
