Some sites are better than others. The ones located on the lake are beautiful.

Beautiful lake and very nice campground with a large swimming area. Crystal Springs is perfect for kayaking and most of the lakeside spots have access to the water. Some of the RV sites have a slope so don't forget your leveling blocks. For those needing a little retail therapy, the city of Hot Springs is only 20 minutes away. We'll definitely be back!

They need to keep up the maintenance around the campsite better. Spray the weeds and cut the grass more often.

Be careful on your site pick, if you can. Most sites are NOT big rig/RV friendly. Many sites have leaning trees/over hanging limbs and very unlevel. The campground is quiet and not too far from Hot Springs and orientated for families, which is good.
