Deschutes/Crane Prairie Campground

Great views and nice campgrounds. We rented a lake side campsite. Only issue we had was other campers kept walking through our campsite and setting up on the beach that we rented. It was very rude of them. We rented fishing boats while there. Boats were nice and clean. Downside was they have to be returned by 5pm. Every other lake we have rented at was 8pm.

Don’t bother with the cabins or store. The people aren’t exactly friendly and the rooms were LOOOADED with bugs. The lake, itself, is wonderful & there is free camping all around. Definitely recommend the free camps. The views are to die for!

Beautiful campground right on the lake. Spaces aren't too close to each other and are a good size with table and fire pit. Only two pit toilets for our loop (orange) but there was never a line. No potable water in the campground, which was the only down side, but there were a lot of vacant sites on the weekend in the middle of July. Nice central campground near a lot of other lakes in the area. The Crane Prairie RV Park (which is separate from the campground) has hookups, showers, and a little store.

Crane Prairie Reservoir is awesome. It’s definitely not worth going to the resorts or the campgrounds. There’s a lot of off grid camping that you can do still as well worth going out there and finding a clean spot. We always come out and clean up the area when we’re out and enjoyed this lake more and more over the years !

This is our second time camping at Crane Prairie Campground. Last year the mosquitos weren’t too bad. This year they seemed 10x worse. The camp hosts this year almost ruined our experience. They were extremely rude and unfriendly. They were more worried about ticketing extra cars than they were restocking the toilet paper in the bathrooms. This campground needs new camp hosts who have their priorities in the right spot!
