Beautiful, quiet, clean and great views. We were there for 4 days and plan to return. Easy back in with nice long sites. Several if not all have double parking and many are very room. Great park. Highly recommended.

Very nice spacing between sites and great restroom!
@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Mar 6, 2025 at Campsite #7
We selected this site as it is centrally located to many fun Hill Country towns in the area. Site was spacious, with room for fifth wheel, pickup and an extra vehicle. Lake is down 48% but we were not there for water activities. Hookups were sufficient, showers clean, sites clean. Would stay longer if full hookups were available. Will return if in the area again.

Great park with excellent camp hosts. Everything was very clean and operating order. Great location for numerous day trips.
@JamesD3491200 · Camped on Feb 26, 2025 at Campsite #19
Absolutely a perfect place of peace and quiet. Campsites were well spaced and included a covered picket table. Probably the cleanest and well kept COE recreation area you will ever visit. The trail down to the lake was well marked and recently groomed. The lake level is very low, but South Texas is suffering from 3 year drought.

Very nice park with decent sites. Easy to get to and easy to get into the sites.
@DarleneF890243 · Camped on Feb 18, 2025 at Campsite #17
beautiful facility- Canyon Lake was very cold and very little water but very restful and peaceful quietness
@ErikP1279569 · Camped on Feb 16, 2025 at Campsite #19
Great campsite and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
@RobertT9956944 · Camped on Feb 15, 2025 at Campsite #27
We had a one night stay at Cranes Mill Park. The campground was very nice and our site backed up to the lake. the lake level was very low with no access to the water at the time of our trip. We took a nice walk around the campground with is fairly large and saw a lot of deer and cacti.
@AndrewM2888517 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #18
Sizeable sites and great views. The bathhouse was well cleaned and had plenty of hot water. No septic hookup at the site, but a decent dump station available.
@RandyF18340C72 · Camped on Feb 5, 2025 at Campsite #16
Very nice park with large campsites and clean showers,
@JamesM3655871 · Camped on Feb 3, 2025 at Campsite #11
Crain's Mill Park was pristine, with a well-maintained landscape that reflected a strong sense of personal pride in its upkeep. The Camp Hosts were both professional and personable, always ready to share information about the best places to visit as well as the park's history. Whenever a camper departed for another adventure, the Camp Host would promptly tidy up the vacated site for the next visitors arrival.The restrooms were generally well-maintained, though they could benefit from new toilet seats. Additionally, the women's restroom needed a new hand dryer, as the existing one was no longer functional. The park did not provide paper towels, so it was important to remember to bring something to dry your hands when using the ladies' facilities. My husband noted that the men's hand dryer was in working order.Unfortunately, the lake was down by approximately 50%, which was disappointing. However, the remaining water was still beautiful and offered great photo opportunities at both sunrise and sunset.

So welcoming and cheerful hosts. Bath house was clean and micro trash picked up. Great experience.
@KirkD7004270 · Camped on Jan 28, 2025 at Campsite #17
Great park. sites have concrete pads. Fairly close but it's ok. Showers were great. Easy back in sites with water and elect. Dump station upon leaving the park. Very open area. Plenty of walking or biking within the park. The closed section is great for both. Not much near by. Be sure to visit the Heritage museum and view some real dinosaur tracks and artifacts. You will be in hill country. The lake is to low for boating.
@MarkM9605970 · Camped on Jan 27, 2025 at Campsite #25
Very relaxing campground. Close to shopping and other amenities. Less than an hour to San Antonios river walk and Alamo
@SusanL2820892 · Camped on Jan 25, 2025 at Campsite #23
We loved Cranes Mill Park! The walking and deer viewing were wonderful. The older gentleman at the gatehouse was always friendly, and fun to chat with. Our site wasnt great, with a dumpster between #21 and #23, and being close to each other. There are many other better sites. We enjoyed our stay very much, and will be back! It was fun to see the pelicans, too!
@AnnY9602400 · Camped on Jan 23, 2025 at Campsite #8
The camp hosts were the best we have encountered. Above and beyond. Not to mention the best and cleanest bathrooms.I hope we see them again in our travels. Thanks Lisa! Lisa and her husband were awesome!
@MaryL7701176 · Camped on Jan 19, 2025 at Campsite #22
Even though the weather was cold and damp, the CG was a little gem. Paved sites with water and electric. Bathrooms were clean and showers had hot water and heat.
@ScottH7806643 · Camped on Jan 19, 2025 at Campsite #19
We had a wonderful 14 day stay in Site 16! The hosts are great. The campground is well kept and the restrooms are heated and clean. Our site was level and very large. Great sunset views. The lake is really down, but still beautiful. The weather could have been warmer and drier, but oh well we still adventured out on our motorcycle and in the Jeep. Luckenbach is a great place to visit and so is Fredrickson. If you get the chance Enchanted State Park, north about 1.5 hours, is awesome! We would love to return again!
@DorothyK97F0F7 · Camped on Jan 11, 2025 at Campsite #7
The facilities were great with lots of areas to walk. We would stay again!
@JeanM7647794 · Camped on Jan 7, 2025 at Campsite #14
One of the best COEs we have been to!!! The sites are paved, very clean, the hosts are outstanding. The wildlife is abundant, close to amenities like laundry and groceries. Quiet, casual, and a well kept gem! It is now on our favorites list!!
@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Jan 5, 2025 at Campsite #8
Very clean and neat grounds. Restroom clean lake very low and no hiking trails near campground
@MonicaR11EF1BE · Camped on Dec 28, 2024 at Campsite #28
It was clean and quiet. The spots were level. We used it as a base camp and visited caverns and San Antonio.
@SusanM8574216 · Camped on Dec 26, 2024 at Campsite #9

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
