Crane Hot Springs

Had an amazing overnight at crane hot springs. We parked in the gravel overflow lot, because it was the cheapest option for two people and a dog. $38, which includes admission to the springs and use of kitchen, common area, showers, bathrooms, and off leash dog area. The gravel lot is very close to both the camp kitchen and pond where you can soak. Saw people camping in a tent in the lot as well. There are also fire rings in the gravel lot and trash cans. The entrance to the nature trail is at the end of the lot. The spring itself is amazing, and you can use it after dark. New facility recently built with heated floors for the bathroom and shower. There is a variety of lodging options including RV hookups, but the lot was perfect for us to have access to the springs, shower, and kitchen as we passed through the area.

Definitely worth the stop for the hot springs alone. The spots to park up are simple, all next to each other, but nicer than a lot of similar stop offs we’ve stayed at, and spaces are pull through which is nice. I wouldn’t consider it a destination, as everyone is parked up right next to each other, but as a stop over the hot springs were amazing, and the staff was very friendly. We’ll stay again next time we drive this route.

Nice, calm, RV or tent spot. Hot Springs are perfect temperature all the basic amenities available. Outdoor shower indoor shower. Hot Springs is open late. You can soak in stargaze. Staff is super friendly very accommodating.

What a great experience. The hot springs are amazing, great price. They have a little common area with coffee, wifi. Also a shared kitchen space with a freezer so if you have ice packs that need to be frozen again they have it. Open all year along. It gets busy so make sure to check reservations

Fabulous, clean, lots of camping options.

I have been here twice--once for a special ADV motorcycle event and again with just 4 of us with dirt bikes. It is great camping next to a hot springs and plenty of room for RVs and tent campers. They have small cabins for rent and a tiny store for drinks and ice cream. Super clean operation! Bring your own shade! It's open plains but with views of mountain ranges.

We pulled in and the front desk lady was super nice can’t remember her name but gave us a lil tour of all the amenities. We set up our tent site and we were like the only ones there so it was super peaceful and quiet! the restrooms and showers were super nice and well kept and the hot springs was so much fun. I’ve been to others that are more natural but this was the biggest one my partner and I have been too and it was super fun. If you’re passing through it’s worth it for one night.

Crane Hot Springs is 20 miles outside Burns, OR. It has full hookup RV sites, dry camping sites, cabins, and even tipis for rent! The highlight is the large natural hot spring pool. It is very hot and so relaxing. They let you use it all night long, but clothing is required :( There are private hot spring rooms available and super nice showers and restrooms. When we stayed in June, 2025 there was construction on new walking trails and ponds, which were fun to explore.

We have stayed here twice in site 7 & 21. All RV sites are basically the same-FHU and pull through. Also available are basic no hook up sites, cabins, rv rentals, teepees, motel rooms. This is a relatively isolated area but we were here for the hot springs. The hot springs are open 24/7 which is nice. There is a nice changing room/restroom. The grounds are kept up nicely and they are actively doing upgrades. Highly recommend.

We had RV spot #20 in the newer section and away from the lodging area. I think we would choose one closer to the pond next time so that we can get in more often! The pond is beautifully landscaped and clean, and everything is very clean. There are quite a few "rules", and the texts seemed a bit rude....but all of that resulted in a quiet, pleasant stay. A few up charges to watch for: $20 per extra guest $2 towel rental $10 per person early arrival charge. Great place. We'll stay again next year!

Crane hot springs is beautiful and has a lovely soaking “pond. The campground isn’t fancy, but the spots are close to the water and campers have 24 hour access to the pond.

Wonderful hot springs! Included in camping fee. We are dry camping but the do have full hookups. Beautiful night sky.

Excellent 'dry camping' .. not crowded .. exceptionally good natural hot mineral water in a large pond that varies in depth to about 5 feet .. clothing required .. family friendly .. tipis, cabins, and suites also available for lodging .. clean .. no food nearby so bring food .. shared camp available for preparing meals .. hot mineral water pond open at night for those staying overnight .. day use welcome from 7am to 10pm ..

I’ve camped here twice in the last couple years. The hot spring is incredible. 24/7 access to the spring and no extra fee (comes with your camping fee) they’ve got all sorts of lodging accommodations. First time I was car camping, second time I brought a camper. Both times it’s been lovely and I always recommend it to friends

Very nice. Especially for us needing an easy overnight while in transit. The dry camping area is open, grassy, and uncrowded. No electricity of course, but water, showers, and bathrooms are available. The $35 includes unlimited use of the hot springs. The RV zone is gravel. There are also a dozen motel rooms, small cabanas bordering the springs, and teepees if that’s your thing. The staff is very friendly, the place is well kept, and the facilities are cleaned hourly. There is also a small community kitchen with stove, refrigerator, etc. Our second time stopping here on the way to/from Steens Mtn, 45 minutes away.

This is a sober haven - clean hot springs peaceful and fairly cheap parking

They also have a full kitchen you can use

A well cared for hot springs

The pond at night is just awesome. Stars are out. Little light pollution The temperature is perfect. Staff is friendly and making reservations was easy. The site however is more like a parking lot. But take a swim in the springs and you will be back.

Crystal Crane Hot Springs has a lot to offer but I'm not sure camping is one them. They have hot springs (which we didn't actually try because it was during the middle of the pandemic) which looked great and I will definitely try if I'm back. They have cabins, glamping, RV sites, tent camping, a small shop, firewood for sale, showers...a little bit of everything.

We stayed twice in December, once in site 5 and once in the overflow area. The camping area feels more like an open field than an actual campground, especially in the overflow area, which I think is just kind of an open area. At site 5 there was picnic tables and a fire ring. Site 5 was good because it was a pull in, at the end of area so it was quiet, and it overlooked the hot springs.

On the plus side, the staff were super nice and the hot springs seemed great and I think that's the main appeal.

We’ve driven through the vast remoteness of SE Oregon dozens of times, but always on the way somewhere else. We stayed for two nights and finally understand the compelling beauty of wide open spaces. This private campground is well maintained and managed by a staff of welcoming, family friendly folks. The dry sites, while flat, are very spacious and well separated from the RV sites. The lounge offers free coffee and pastries, which was a delightful surprise. Great bird watching, dark skies, and a huge hot spring and showers make this a go to destination.

We stayed one night here and really enjoyed it! Interesting place with RV spaces, motel rooms, cabins, and teepees The hot springs are incredible! Clean facilities. It’s worth the drive to get here!

Made a pitstop here after a long day of driving. Didn't partake in the Hot Springs or use any of the amenities. But we were grateful for their overflow lot where we were able to pitch our tent and spend the night. Overflow camping was barebones, no amenities, porto potties only. But we enjoyed a good sunset, and the campground was clean and quiet.

What a great campground with the added bonus of a hot springs!  This developed campground offers dry camping, RV rentals, TeePees with private tubs and patios, bunk cabins, and an Inn.  Staying the night allows you to access the hot springs at anytime which is nice during cooler nights where you can soak and stare at the stars.  There is also a full camp kitchen which includes all the required cooking utensils, stove, and table.  There is also a lounge area with couches, a TV, a few tables, as well as board games, and plenty of "To-DO" suggestions for the near by area.  The bathroom/changing room/showers were clean and well attended.  If you are in the area I highly recommended stopping and having a soak at this great campground.

We were in need of a place to camp as were were driving through OR.  Found this location and decided to give it a try.  We kept tabs on the website and determined we would forgo a reservation for a mid-week overnighter.  The sites with hookups filled up for the night but not the dry camping sites.  Plus there is an overflow area.  The natural hot spring pool was wonderful and large enough to accommodate quite a few people.  We met folks from near Bend that come to this place regularly.  

The $30 dry camping fee included unlimited use of the hot spring pool, showers and restroom (There were no electrical outlets in the restroom for those wanting to use a hair dryer).  Others have described the other amenities so I won't.
