About the campground
The elevation is 4,400 ft. The campground, with five unnamed loops, is on the southwest shore of Crane Prairie Reservoir in a stand of Lodgepole pines. The campsites in one loop, next to campground's boat ramp, have views of the reservoir. There are some sites in each of the remaining loops with views but most are simply tucked back into the trees. Bird watching is good at this campground. With no understory or middlestory, privacy is only fair between campsites. For a possible day-trip, pack a lunch and watch the osprey and other birds from Osprey Point, 1.1 miles south of campground.
