We loved our stay at Crane's Mill! It's a terrific location for visiting San Antonio and other area state parks/natural areas. Our site was level, had more than enough space for our 37 ft trailer and our truck, plus an extra space for parking. Our covered picnic table was great and located next to the smoker style grill. The fire pit was also appreciated.
Hosts were gracious. Trash was easy to access and the dump station is a two'fer. We camped in the first loop and didn't use the restrooms, but they are very conveniently located.
Only note - this park has shorter than usual hours - be sure you understand the times you can enter the gate or risk being an unhappy camper! No gate codes. The gate locks. (Typical of COE parks, but 9pm is pretty early!)
We visited the Alamo - it was about a 50 minute ride on a Sunday afternoon. A great trip for history buffs. It was pretty busy, perhaps a weekday would be a better choice. The Heritage Museum of the Texas Hill Country on FM 2673 was delightful! Dinosaur prints and the docent giving the tour was awesome. Great for kids and adults alike. Maven's Grill just down the street from the park had a quite tasty dinner and yummy adult beverages. We will be back!

Had a lovely four night stay at Cranes Mills. Was greeted warmly by Tom at the gatehouse and while I arrived early and was not able to enter the park until 3pm, he kindly directed me to a spot where I could park and stretch my legs until the appointed time. He turned out to be a long time volunteer and was a wealth of knowledge on the park and area. If you like to walk, the campground gives you ample space to do so. Even though there are no hiking trails per se, the campground roads themselves provide you with several miles to stroll while taking in the lake views as well as seeing the many deer who call the park home. Even though this campground is on a lake surrounded by residential homes the nights are nice and quiet. I can't not also mention Kathy one of the other campground hosts. She too is lovely and welcoming. We had a chance to have several neighborly chats during my stay. All in all a great stop and once campground that is on my list to return to.

Sites needed some cleanup. A lot of overgrowth that should have been taken care of.
Too many people speeding thru campground. Need speed bumps

We have been camping here for years. The camp sites are spacious, the views are incredible and the park is maintained with the highest standards. The sites are always clean and free of debris when we set up camp, the bathrooms are spotless, the trash cans are always empty and the walking trail appears to be groomed on a regular basis. The volunteers that live out here clearly take pride in this campground as it is their home 24/7.
Of the many things we love about this park, the most beautiful sight is the majestic, snow white cats with sky blue eyes that have lived quietly and peacefully amongst the rocks for many years. Sadly, we spoke to one of the volunteers and he has told us on numerous occasions that "the cats should be eradicated". We have asked why when they are harmless and many of the campers enjoy their beauty and look forward to seeing them when they visit. He could not give us an answer as to why they should be eradicated, only that they should to be. We hope and pray that he does not move forward with a plan to do this. Aside from the fact that it would be illegal to "eradicate' them, we know it would upset many of the campers that have loved them through the years as we have.
