Cranfield Park

Park is recovering from the high water, but the lake is as beautiful as ever. Access to the camp boat ramp was not available, and the other ramp in the park needs the dock back in the lake. It was very difficult for my husband and I to get out of our boat without the dock. This is a wonderful park and we thank everyone who works to keep it open.

One of our favorite camp grounds.

I reserved a pavilion at this location for my son’s high school graduation. The experience was…okay. I’ll hit the highlights:
* Beautiful location. Right by the lake. Nice, big pavilion. Playground adjacent to the pavilion. Walking trails nearby. It was great.
* No signage was posted for our reservation. In the absence of a reservation, the pavilion goes on a first-come-first-serve basis. So. When we arrived, another family was set up, celebrating their graduate.
* The camp hosts were wonderful and kind. So was the ranger who came to assist us. Unfortunately, the lack of signage led to two very unhappy groups & graduates. Two parties were ruined. I blame this mishap purely on the lack of signage. The whole mess was avoidable.

To summarize, I would recommend this location - but I’d make sure you get a commitment from the camp hosts that the facility will be marked as reserved!

Park host are very knowledgeable and helpful, The campsite was clean and the grass was moved. Rain was expected and the lake was already high so the possibility of the entrance road flooding was a concern we received a text from Recreation.gov and the park attendants stopped by the campsite to warn us that we'd have to leave by 4pm the following day.

So clean and beautiful. Very nice people.

Great location, wish the access to the campsites could be raised to stop closures

We had a great stay💜
