Crane was absolutely great. All the store help was extra courteous. The newer owners are GREAT!!! JT & staff r the best! We caught a ton of fish thanks to their advice!

The place is beautiful the only thing that I recommend is to rent a boat if you want to do some fishing

Both Crane and Wickiup were very sad. Go see them and be reminded of what mankind has done to the planet.

Crane Prairie is an excellent lake for catching large rainbow trout. I have brought in Cranebows over 20, with 16-18 inch rainbows quite common. Fly fishing, spin or bait fishing, trolling... it all works here. There is ample parking for boat trailers at the resort, as well as a nice launch. I can't speak to the resort itself because I have not camped here, only fished. I have rented a fishing boat from them before and that was a very positive experience. If you're looking for a good day of trout fishing out on the lake, Crane Prairie is hard to beat in this area. It is open to fishing from April thru October. NOTE: All wild trout must be released! Please make sure to review the regulations beforehand.

Camped here several years ago (2014) when checking out a move to Bend. Easy fishing and pleasant campground on the lake. Clean baths and well-supplied store - even managed dinner after a last-minute decision to stop and stay!
