I get leg cramps every time my potassium drops below 4.0. I need to be in teh 4.3 to 4.5 range to avoid them. Magnesium seems to help as well as hopeful noted. For me, it does seem to be centered around my level of activity, or within a couple of days after heavy activity, which seems to validate the potassium depletion theory.

Everybody has a different level of normal, so if you are toward the lower end of magnesium or potassium, you might need to be a little higher.
