  Crane Prairie is one of the nicest campgrounds we manage and one of the most under utilized as well. The campground has 146 campsites many of which are right on the water or within a minute or two walk. The roads going through the campground are paved as are many of the site spurs. Each site would be considered one of the best in any other campground. There are plenty of modern vault toilets and a pressurized water system. There is a fish cleaning station and boat launch. If you need a shower there is a public shower area at the resort next door along with a small grocery store that will help provide you with your emergency marsh mellows or beer. We expect to have special programs on many of the weekends at the centrally located amphitheater. A schedule of events will be attached to this page when the schedule is known. The sites are fairly isolated from one another and large enough to easily fit the whole family. Although we do have both group and single reservable sites, reservations for single sites mostly will not be needed except on major holidays, because there are so many sites. If you are a last minute camper this is the place to go to find a very nice site even at the last minute. However, about 60% of the campgrounds are reservable including a 15 site group area on the water. (The Yellow Loop including sites 1-15)

10 MPH speed limit is enforced for boating on Crane Prairie.

     We expect to have a host in the campground from about Memorial Weekend to Labor Day Weekend. Otherwise an attendant will be in the campground two to four times per day.
