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.

What Guests Are Saying

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.

A very well-kept campground! Close to the water, clean bathrooms/showers, friendly hosts! VERY quiet.
I have nothing negative at all to say about Crane’s Mill Campground as it was an excellent experience!

The sites were large and the pad was very level! We enjoyed walking through the campground looking at all the deer. Beautiful spot!

What a beautiful place to be. We had the perfect spot 1A. Beautiful views and mother nature around. The only downside is no sewer hookup on the RV sites. There's only a dumping station at the main entrance.
Other than that, will definitely visit again in summer.

We love the park and have been there quite a few times and will be back again. The only drawback is the lack of wifi and internet service.

Great park with beautiful views. Very clean. Very quite.

Only bad for me, was showing up an hour an a half early and being told I had to wait or pay for the previous day.

Wonderful park! Very well-kept. There are a few nice walking trails. Half the park still isn't accessible due to a flood that knock it out several years ago, but the part they have open is great. I even caught a large-mouth bass in December, which I wasn't expecting!
