Crane Lakeside Park & RV Resort - Lake Elsinore, California

Sybil W.

I had the pleasure of spending a couple of seasons here in my little RV, and I can't say enough great things about this place! It is a clean, safe park with charming little spaces right on the lake, complete with an adjacent sandy beach. ⛱️

This is an excellent spot for enjoying the lake, and it hosts a diverse community of neighbors—so kind they became like family. 💕 The park is safe for women, pets, and little ones, and it is well-maintained. Above all, it has truly wonderful management.

In a world dominated by big corporate businesses, Crane Lakeside remains a classic California dream. 🏝 I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a short- or long-term stay in the area. Plus, it's just down the road from a great farmers market. 🚣‍♀️

I really enjoy living here. It has been nearly a year since I moved in. The park is kept up and the neighbors are nice. UPDATE: I deducted two stars due to safety. We are going through excessive heat and yesterday my surge protector was shutting my electric off due to the parks power grid surging. No one responded from the office eventhough they were reading my texts (read receipts) showing the inside of my home was exceeding 100 degrees. My safety and the safety of others was completely disregarded. I have requested the owners contact information to discuss the issue and getting a working and monitored emergency contact number.

Permanent residence only. Clean, quiet and keep up the park constantly. Staff is friendly and understanding. Perfect distance from Ortega Hwy since we work in south OC!

I have been here at Cranes almost 4 years now. I love it. It is peaceful clean and the staff is awesome. I have always felt welcome here. As with any place you may have nieghbors that aren't the best. But i have always been happy with the response of the management team addressing any issue. Everyone says hello as you pass and the lake is always beautiful. Sandy has always been fair and very courteous. I love that there are cameras at every turn. I have never felt more safe. Thank you Sandy for being such a wonderful person...

My husband and I lived in this RV park for a couple of years. It is well-maintained with a helpful staff. Some RV parks are “party places”; some so strict you can’t breathe. Crane has found the balance with enough rules to make it pleasant for all residents yet not overly strict or stifling. The lake view is stunning and residents have full access to the lake and the boat launch. 4th of July is amazing as you can view about 3-4 different fireworks shows from the park. If you want to visit here plan and book far in advance! We loved living here and only moved because we purchased our own land.

This is the best campground in the Lake Elsinore area. The campground itself is clean and very well maintained, including the beach area. The staff is friendly and there are security cameras throughout the park and we felt very safe. Sites are back in and our site was right on the beach, making for a really nice view. There is no swimming in the lake though but there are water sports. We stayed two months and the only complaint is the electric. The electric bill was extremely high and when we asked about it the staff didn’t seem concerned about it and said they would look into it (it’s been two months and nothing). We would stay here again but for less then a month due to the electric bill issue. Stayed here January and February 2018.

We've stayed here several times. Weekdays are quiet and peaceful; weekends have the excitement of boating, jet skiing, paddle boats, and families having fun hanging out on the beach. While there is a sign that says "no swimming", we've seen people swimming and laying in their "tubes" in the water all the time. The beach is beautiful and groomed weekly, and the lake access if great. I agree with a prior reviewer that the dog run is not a pleasant place- at all. If you have a pet you probably want to walk it elsewhere and just make sure you pick up after it. We like this place because it isn't a "party place". Quiet time starts at 10 p.m., and is respected.

I am living in paradise. I have not been relaxed, since I was a teen and my parents took care of everything and I had no worry. The atmosphere out in our lake front home, could not be better. I enjoy the lake floating on my huge raft that fits 6. The park itself is clean. Laundry room has always been very clean. My favorite is the doggy run at the park! What wonderful owners to provide this anemities. My husband and I love taking our two dogs to the park so they can run, play, and due their duty. And they provide doggy bags for patrons.. and a garbage can. The doggy area also provides for us, 2 chairs, beautiful trees. In the evening it is well lit. I am in love and heaven on earth. I never want to leave my perfect spot on the planet.
