About Cranes Mill Park

Cranes Mill Park is located on a long peninsula on the southwestern shore of Canyon Lake in Texas Hill Country, halfway between Austin and San Antonio. Dramatic sunrises to the east of the park across Canyon Lake and sunsets on the western side of the park behind the Guadalupe River make this an unforgettable location.

Cranes Mill Park is a well-maintained campground with spacious RV sites, clean restrooms, and a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for a quiet getaway. Campers appreciate the friendly staff and beautiful surroundings, including wildlife sightings. However, some visitors experienced challenges with finding the park, low lake levels, and noise from nearby campers, which slightly affected their overall experience.

Clean campground, clean bathrooms, great lake views. Sites are not level, unfortunately. Took some work to level out! Lots of deer around. No issues with the power tower.

Nice quiet park. Level pad. Lake is low but we weren’t there for boating or fishing so it wasn’t a problem. Spent most of our time in San Antonio.

The sites are good sized -- beware of the inner loop has larger slope so be prepared to use leveling blocks.
Restroom is FANTASTIC - hot showers & heated.
Be aware there is a gate that closes at 9 pm, so if y'all wanna go out later in nearby Georgetown, y'all gonna walk home from the gate!

We had a great stay at Cranes Mill. Our site was amazing and facilities were well kept and maintained. The check in progress was easy and the staff was friendly and very accommodating. We look forward to visiting again soon.

This place was simply awesome. Not only was it quiet, but it is well maintained, small number of sites, and lots of room between the sites. The camp hosts were actually the highlights of the visit - super friendly, informative, and so helpful. The lake was low due to the 2 year drought, but there was still enough water to know you were lakeside and there is plenty of open space for a great walk or bike ride. We were there in January which was perfect as the campground was only half full and super quiet. The water was consistent in pressure and the electric service was 125v on both legs of the 50 amp service. My only complaint - and this is kind of nitpicking - is that most of the sites have a grade to them. In our 43 ft motorhome, the front of the coach was nearly off its tires to be level. We simply went on Recreation.gov and changed to a more level site, and it was perfect. Highly recommended.
