“Hot springs A/A+; cabins C/C-”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

If you are coming here, it is for the hot springs. Crystal Crane is about 25 miles from Burns and store and restaurants. The tiny town of Crane is about 2 miles and there is one pump gas and a diner. The 5 cabins are small, and pretty run down. The chair in ours was so dirty and torn I used it to hold a suitcase. The linens, however, were crisp and clean. Toilets and showers are available in the bathhouse. If you want more privacy, you can rent private tubs in the bathhouse. Be prepared with your own food and drink -- there is a communal camp kitchen with stove and refrigerator. There is also a communal lounge with TV and computer/internet access. Although I wasn't thrilled with the cabins, I think if you had an RV you'd be happy here. There is some tent camping as well. The hot spring pond is easy to use, and about 7 feet at its deepest. It's about 105 degrees. We were lucky enough to be at Crystal Crane on a full moon ... and I think I will never forget floating in that perfect water, in the late summer high desert, under the brillance of moonlight. Ahhh....

“Wonderful campground”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We stopped at Crystal Crane Hot Springs for 1 night on our road trip from the Oregon Coast to Yellowstone. This place is absolutely wonderful. The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful.

The campground is very clean. The tent sites are grassy and rather spacious. The highlights of course are the hot springs. Our visit was late summer when nights get chilly and being in the hot springs was simply amazing. The main building has a kitchen that campers can use to boil water, make coffee and such.

We very much enjoyed the quietness and peacefulness of the place and cannot wait be back.

“Friendly Oasis”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Spent one night while trekking back home across Oregon. We were in a little camper. Be aware that the RV sites have the least view, are just in a parking lot, but knowing that ahead of time by looking at pictures online prepared us. The tent sites have beautiful views from a field. The hot springs were wonderful. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms and showers clean and warm, felt like a luxury after camping with outhouses. It was pretty busy when we were there, but once you're in the outdoor pool you forget anyone else is around. Worth the trek and we'd go out of our way to stay any time we get out towards Burns.

“A refuge in a storm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

A friend a I were in the area for a bit of birding. We called ahead on the day of our arrival and we were able to secure a cabin with two beds. We had to use the shower and toilets in the bath house. The cabin was very small and could have used a table and chairs and something for hanging up clothes and towels. There is a small community kitchen and a nice "commons" area for guests. Met some nice fellow travelers. The rooms and bathhouse were very clean. The hotspring was huge and delightfully warm after being out in the rain and snow all day. They offer reduced prices for soaking a few nights during the week so some of the locals visit. They were a great source of information and conversation. The RV area was not much more than a parking lot, but the hot spring is what it is all about. I am already planning a trip back with some of my older friends who could really get a boost from the hotspring.

“Worth the stop just for the private hot tub experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We have been to hot springs in many states and Crystal Crane was one of our best experiences. The proprietor couldn't have been nicer and the private tub room cleaner. They did it right. Charming The tub is a concrete oval large enough for two adults to stretch out facing each other or even a small family. You control the temperature by adding more water with overflow happening naturally. The experience was meditative. All this for $15 for two for an hour.
