"We camped along our drive but never had a set destination. Luckily, around sunset, we stumbled across Crystal Crane Hot Springs."
"They have running water (So stock up before headed into the gorge! - next water is Jackman Park!) and clean pit toilets. Not a lot of shade so prep for that. All in all a nice BLM spot!"

"This 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."

"Bosch's Big Bear RV Park was easy to find and we knew from our pre-arrival email that we were in site 2. We also knew from the website that if you arrive between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM its a $10 charge."
ScoutWe are traveling through in a basic Sprinter and needed a place to camp for night. This place was best around. Quiet. On hill with nice views especially sunrise. There is what looks like a great restaurant on site but it was closed. When it opens we will return. What’s not to like camping near a restaurant… no cooking. Bonus

GuideMy brand spanking new husband and I drove up from San Francisco to Portland for our honeymoon. We camped along our drive but never had a set destination. Luckily, around sunset, we stumbled across Crystal Crane Hot Springs. The staff was incredibly nice to accommodate our last minute reservation.
Crystal Crane Hot Springs has tent camping, RV camping, small cabins and family size cabins. I can't speak towards other reservations but the tent camping was walk-in. The tent spots were in the back in a quiet area pushed up against field full of birds and bird blinds.
Guests have access to bathrooms, showers, and the main lobby. The main lobby is a nice place to warm up in the morning and is outfitted with books, games, muffins, coffee, tea and local guides. They also have a little store with towels, bathrobes
There are private hot springs you can rent hourly but there's a giant natural hot spring that's free to campers. You can rent towels, too. You can also buy an hourly pass if you don't want to camp. The main hot spring is the perfect temperature and depth. We even had the distinct pleasure of watching a distant lightning storm while soaking in the evening.
The camping availability is definitely on the luxury side but is well worth it for $25 for tent camping. Despite having a lot of real estate available on the property, it doesn't feel crowded and is surrounded by miles of field land.
GuideCrane 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.
GuideWe headed to South Steens as a basecamp for some of the longer hikes. This campground is SUPER big, and we didn't have a problem getting a spot even though it was FCFS in the middle of the weekend. Clean picnic tables and sites. They have running water (So stock up before headed into the gorge! - next water is Jackman Park!) and clean pit toilets. Not a lot of shade so prep for that. All in all a nice BLM spot!
GuideThis was a great stop over for us coming from Corvallis. We stayed one full day as we have kids and they can only last so long on the road. The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming. All the sites are nicely groomed. The utility hook ups were in great condition, the bathrooms and laundry facilities on site were in great condition. The local pool is a must stop specially if you have kids, it’s was extremely cheap $11 for two adults and two kids. Also the local park right by the RV park is another amazing spot to go hang out for a few hours. Definitely all the amenities or store that you would need in a close vicinity.
The only annoying part which the owners cant control was the mosquitoes were crazy. Not sure if it was just the time of year or the mosquitoes are always that thick. But just a tip bring mosquito spray or long clothing if you plan to be up outside at night. If you’re a light sleeper maybe request to see if you can stay further back in the park there is a road that is close, and my wife did mention that she did hear the vehicles going by in the evening.
Overall I would stay here anytime again, and if it wasn’t so far out-of-the-way I would probably plan a trip just to come back to stay longer. We had a 28 foot trailer with full hook ups. I was able to park our trailer and full-size pick up in our spot.
ScoutThis is a small but great camp site. Bathrooms present on site. Each spot has a great picnic table and grill. It is a rocky area so have a pad if tent camping.
LegendThis little gem is nestled in SE Oregon and features an assortment of camping options, from private tee-pee, dry camping, to full RV hook ups this place can accommodate any guest. The water is naturally at 160 degrees yet they "hold" the temp at 100 degrees. This may make it a bit cool for some. The spring is actually fed into a pond with a soft, black gravel/sand bottom. There are private soaking tubs available though at 15 bucks a head per hour the cost is on the high side. We found it to be a worthy treat though we must declare that hot springs are our personal favorites. We stayed in dry camp site #2 which featured its own picnic table and fire ring. Fires are permitted yet while we stayed you were required to have a bucket of water on site while the fire was burning. Wood is available at 7 bucks a bundle and the water buckets are provided for use FOC. There is minimal shade though the camp does have a community center with wifi and AC. There is also a communal kitchen. The kitchen is 24/7 and the center is 8am to 9pm. Showers are super clean though a bit cramped. The best part is that the pond is 24/7 and stargazing under an expansive sky while soaking I. the healing warm waters is a magical experience. Check it out, you won't regret it. Last arrival,is at 9pm and mandatory quiet is from 10pm to sunrise. Book on this one was "The Kybalion, and musIc was The Deads Europe '72. Enjoy it boppers….
TravelerThe campground is clean and the spots are well-managed. The managers are friendly and organized. They have camp items and alcohol for sale until 6pm. There are laundry, shower & bathroom facilities, and yard games on site too for convenience and fun!
