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.

Love COE campgrounds. This one was no different. The setting, the spaciousness, the grounds could not have been better. Stayed 3 nights as a kind of midway break between the Atlantic and the Pacific.

Very clean and spacious COE park. We enjoyed the ability to walk the park and log almost 2 mi - one loop. There are numerous deer. Wimberly is about a 40 minute drive. We would most definitely stay again. This time we stayed in a fifth wheel.

Due to unforseen circumstances we had to stay at Crains Mill several more days necessitating changing sites twice. The Core online site as well as the on-site personnel were very helpful.
We have stayed at Crains Mill many times over the years and have always had a good experience.
