We returned to Crane Prairie Resort and stayed 4 days ,with perfect weather and fishing conditions. This resort is located just across the street from the Crane Prairie campground which is part of the forest service. Our campground at the resort was $35.00 a night with full hookups. The hook ups needed some tender loving care. The electritricity registered 106 volts and with our serge protector we were not able to use anything electric due to its protection from low voltage. So needless to say we had to switch everything to propane.We did go discuss this with the management, we were told they were at the end of the line. Well the end of the line did not do much to protect our appliances or air conditioner. It did get down to 31 degrees at night, luckily we had our buddy heater to save the day.
Below are pictures of our fantastic stay with our friends.
