Crane Creek State Park
13531 West State Route 2, Oak Harbor
(419) 836-7758

Crane Creek State Park is a few miles east of Port Clinton, just north of Ohio State Route 2, east of Toledo and west of Port Huron. There's a sign for it on Route 2, where you turn north and follow the road until it ends at a parking lot.

Coming from the east, it's a few miles past the Route 19. Take the Ohio Turnpike to exit 91, follow the signs to Route 19, then go north to Route 2. Take Route 2 a few miles left (west) to Crane Creek State Park.

It's a tiny park, but loaded with spring migrants, really loaded.

Rates are variable, and can be more on weekends and other special times, but on the web site it says for 1 - 2 person occupancy from Apr. 1 through June 18, it's $32 - 109.

Jack Solomon will be staying here in an RV, License Plate HG73174. It's modest and simple, but very quiet and clean, with flush toilets, showers and hot water. Last year it cost under $20/night to camp there. There is also a bunkhouse for rental. Interested groups should contact the camp directly to make any arrangements.
