Cranes Mill Park (USACE)

Site: 8 next to restrooms Type: water and 30 amp Dates: 11/28/25-11/30/25 Peaceful and quiet but not much to do with kids around the area. We walked the dogs down to the courtesy dock closest to the RV sites but it was closed. There were some folks who climbed down the rock face to get to the water but with young dogs who get excited, we decided not to risk it. We then walked over to the boat ramp and fishing pier between the tent sites and the rv sites and again, that was closed. We saw a deer and what looked like a roadrunner down there. We also saw some vultures after some campers left their site and at night we heard coyotes. Other than that, it was pretty uneventful. Too cold outside to play so we stayed in our RV mostly. The sites are similar to the spacing Potters Creek had (also

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.

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.

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!

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.
