Camp sites too close together, no privacy, felt sketchy, drove through and left and stayed in a hotel before switching to a state park.

It was a great spot, the only slight problem that we had was that the spot was graded down, and we had a little problem getting our self leveler to work, but it was a great spot right by the water

We really enjoyed the hiking trails and the spot we stayed , Loop A 05 , was the perfect spot. I had read that the spot was uneven but they’ve leveled it because we had no problems whatsoever so ever. The neighbors were nice and we enjoyed it. It’s close to shopping so it was really convenient ! Will definitely stay again!

Crystal Springs is a lovely campground and well maintained. Far enough from the noise of the main highway but still very accessible. The bathrooms were clean.
