Normally don't stay in RV parks while traveling in our camper van, but we needed to do laundry, take showers, replenish our water supply, and recharge our power storage units after days of dispersed & primitive camping. We really liked this RV park. Tina, who checked us in, was fantastic - very friendly and welcoming. She even gave our dog treats! She put us in site #39 which was not next to big rigs. We used the water & electric at the site. Reasonably priced. The park was very clean. The laundry room and restroom/shower rooms were also clean. The meals at the cafe were good, along with good service. We weren't enthusiastic about staying at an RV park, but we were glad we did. Fit our needs for an overnight stay.

Needed a place to pitch a tent for the night and stopped here. The park is fairly large and has a lot of shade trees around it. Unfortunately, I guess the tent area they normally use was closed and I was directed to pitch my tent behind the front office. It was a small shaded grassy area. For $20, it worked. The only real complaint I would have was the bathroom area could have used some cleaning, both inside and out, washing and cleaning of showers, sinks, shelves, sweeping up of dirt and leaves around the building.
RangerI stayed here years ago and had a good experience so stayed again. Yes, it’s by the main road, but you’re also pretty much right out of town. Road quiets down to nothing at night. It’s still warm in September, so got a spot with shade. Super comfortable. Love all the quail, squirrels and listening to coyotes at night. Drove out to do the Steens Mountain loop, see the Round Barn, etc. Love this area and nice to come back to a comfortable site.
ScoutThe campsite was level and shady. However, there was a lot of trash on and around it. The restrooms and showers definitely needed attention. They were equipped with soap, toilet tissue, and paper towels, but had not been cleaned in quite a long time. Also, both loops were blocked with campsites, so be prepared to have to back up your trailer or camper.

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!
GuideCrane 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.
LegendGeneral: To say there are not many choices to camp around here would be an understatement! Fortunately, our stay turned out to be decent. We were greeted cheerfully by Tina (she and her husband Scott own the park). This place mainly attracts birders in the spring, hunters in the fall, and people passing through (this was us). There is a mix of back-in and pull-through sites. The back-in sites are along the east and north sides of the property with the pull-throughs in the center. There is a coin-operated laundry, store/gift shop, and restaurant. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but did indulge in Tina’s delicious homemade fruit turnovers!
Site Quality: All sites are level on gravel. Each site has a nice patio with a plastic picnic table, fire ring, and bbq platform. There are some trees scattered throughout but when we were there, they had not quite bloomed yet. Our site (34) was at the end of the row which gave us privacy on one side. Backs up to a fence and you will hear some road noise from the road behind it, but it is minimal.
Bathhouse: Three all-in-one units with a code to enter. Entering was a little tricky until we got the hang of it but once in, the units were clean. Showers take quarters.
Activities: Not much for us as we were passing through but a nice haven for birders (the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is close by) and convenient for hunters. Note that on GPS it looks like Mudd Lake is fairly close by, but the lake has been dry for at least 10 years according to Tina! Again, this was a pleasant stay for us as we were traveling through.
ScoutWonderful hot springs! Included in camping fee. We are dry camping but the do have full hookups. Beautiful night sky.

The camp ground was great. It has the basic needs for most camper trailers. There are a few sites there with shore power but I didn’t see any water hook ups. There is water there if you need to fill up jugs, tanks or water bottles. There is a single flushing toilet that is available for overnighters as well as small store with food and drinks for sale. The staff was very nice and helpful. Be aware of the wind! Our first night in our teardrop was pretty rocky. Almost lost our awning because the gusts were at or above 60mph. We talked to the staff and they said to orient the trailer front towards the mountains. It seriously helped a lot. If you tent camp, I would recommend some sort of windscreen or just use your vehicle to block it somehow. Overall the scenery is majestic and is worth the drive out there. 10/10

We stayed here on our way to camping on the Alvord. Very convenient spot from which to explore Steens Mountain , French Glen and the Malheur Wildlife refuge.
Campground was well maintained. Friends had trouble with the washboard road knocking their medicine cabinet off the wall, but we took the road more slowly and had not trouble. The very next morning the road had been graded, so going back to French Glen was no issue. Sites were fine. Sanitary dump was uphill so we used their communal dump on the way out. All was well. We did check out a little late and there was an extra fee, but we were fine with that!
We'd stay again.
TravelerThis is a pretty good spot for a tiny town. I think it’s a bit of expensive at appx. $50/night. My daughter and I went to take a shower, and found 2 frogs in the showers, but other than a that it was a pretty quiet and generally located spot.
GuideVery nice stop on our road trip. Spots are gravel, level and easy to access. Showers clean and nicely fitted out. Grass and trees kept the site cool even in high heat. Quiet and other campers were considerate.
Definitely a great respite from a long day on the road!
ScoutExcellent '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 ..
TravelerGood campground. A bit of road noise. Also, we had shade. Showers look a bit worn.
TravelerI’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
TravelerGenerator quit working so we couldn’t boondock. Way too hot outside. Checked in on a day they were closed so the only signs of life we saw were the people who live here full time. Most sites are 30 amp. The ones with 50 amp were not marked at all and there was no information in the welcome email indicating what site we needed to look for so after driving five hours with four children and a dog, we had to go site by site to look for the proper hook ups in 100° weather. Was not very thrilled about that. Good stop over spot in a pinch. Served us well for what we needed it for
GuideThe store was small but has some necessities and ice. The bathrooms were plentiful and okay. Many sites has partial shade. Close to town. Mosquitoes were horrible.
TravelerThis camp ground and hot springs is the perfect entrance to the Alvord desert. There are sites with and without electricity as well as bunkers if you don't want to camp. We were in a van and opted for a site with electricity. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Even if you don't stay here I would recommend using this paid entrance to the Alvord desert. They also have a small shop with food and camping supplies if needed. There is a rustic hot springs spot, which is very lovely. We used it twice during our one night stay. The second night we camped on the playa. I would highly recommend visiting the Alvord desert and at least stopping by this spot if you want to enter the playa.
ScoutPretty quiet with friendly hosts. Had great ATT service so didn’t try the WiFi. The Mosquitoes were a little hungry but that is just this time of year. My only complaint is that the showers/bathrooms were not even close to clean. We used them because we had been on the road but didn’t get to enjoy my shower much. Laundry room was clean and worked well.
GuideNice little even park outside town of Burns, OR and not far from Crystal Crane Hot Springs. Both are lovely. Fast internet, lots of security warnings, make sure to use security like a VPN. Bathroom/showers were very few and a bit messy. I would have given it 4 stars if not for the road noise. Thankfully it is not a busy rd at night. I sleep with earplugs and still bothered me. Would stop here again.
ScoutI tried the other RV park on the other side of town to discover they were closed. Despite be close to the main road there’s not a lot of traffic
GuideI looked online and thought about making a reservation in advance, but wasn't sure about where I would end up by the end of this day in my trip. I stopped at noon and asked if they had any 30 Amp sites, but no, dry camping only. As this is in an area of BLM land, it should not have been difficult to boondock in the area. This place has water available, showers, clean bathrooms and of course the hot springs.
The check-in time is 3PM and if you arrive early, you have to leave and come back at 3 or pay an extra $10 per person (on top of $35 for dry camping) for early check-in. This rule might not be enforced by all staff members. You also have the option of paying a day use fee of $10 for 4 hours or $5 if you are 62 or older. Once again, being old pays off and I paid the day use fee to stay around. The hot springs pond is well developed and temperatures are regulated well.
The WiFi had problems and I was told that I may need to remove the settings for the site a few times to make it work. When it was working it is mostly just close to the office, but there are picnic tables near the hot springs and it is a pleasant place to work.
I would stay here again, but book in advance to get an electrical connection. It is also worth stopping for a few hours in the day to use the hot springs on a day use fee.
ScoutBeautiful view of Playa!
TravelerWe were there in mid October so probably the slow season. Very quiet place. The Jackalope bar and grill has excellent food. One of the best breakfasts we had on our trip. Staff were great and very friendly. Even if it is a bit off the beaten track well worth the detour. We'll definitely drop in when ever we go by Burns.
TravelerVery 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.
GuideGreat location for doing the Steens Mtn Loop and checking out Frenchglen. Best option with a Travel trailer. Couple miles on good, but dusty gravel road. Immaculate bathrooms.
GuideMust see the Steens Loop - a geological wonder. We’ll worth the 4 hours of washboard roads!
