    Crane Hot Springs

    Bird and Hot Spring Lovers Paradise

    My 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.

    Steens Mountain Wilderness Resort

    Good CG near Steens Loop

    Good campground with flush toilets, clean showers and a small store. Electric, water, sewer at all RV sites. All sites are pull thru....some are not totally level and/or rocky. Campground is generally a little dusty and the 3 mile road coming in is washboard. Tent sites with grass and some small cabins available

    Crane Hot Springs

    Love the Hot Hot Water & Views

    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.

    Steens Mountain Wilderness Resort

    Great starting location for the Steens Mtn Loop!

    Nice, well maintained location with the normal amenities you'd expect from a fairly remote RV resort location.  There are a few hoops to jump through in confirming your reservation, but nothing crazy.  Not far from Frenchglen on a washboard gravel road, but the ability to jump right onto the Loop and head around the area was ideal!  I'd definitely stay again if in the area!

    Crane Hot Springs

    lovely healing springs

    This 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….

    Crane Hot Springs

    Cool Place but not the Greatest Camping

    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.

    Crane Hot Springs

    Camping/Glamping at a hot springs near Burns, OR

    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.

    The Narrows RV Park

    An oasis in the high desert

    General: 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.

    Crane Hot Springs

    Crane Hot Springs

    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.
