We love Crystal Springs but the swimming area needs some attention. More sand, less weeds. A snake was under the swings because of the grass needing cut.

We had a great stay overall! Nearly all the sites on the water have access to the lake directly from the site. There was a tree in the middle of our site that prevented us from being able to open our canopy and made it difficult to park. We stayed at site 7A

We loved camping at Crystal Springs. We had an amazing spot.
Made great memories with my children and grandchildren. We swam, made s’mores by the campfire. Had an amazing stay.

Had a great time! Everyone was so friendly! The park was clean and the restrooms were always clean. The water and beach was clean and nice. There was a brief power outage but no big deal. Still give it a 10 out of 10. The campsites were close and no privacy which didn't bother us but it might bother some. We will definitely camp here again. FYI there needs to be better signage from the hwy - we couldn't tell the road to turn in to the park and turned in too soon and almost didn't get turned around.

Our experimence was great. The lots was level making it easy to set our trailer up. It was clean and free of trash. The views were beautiful. The main complaint we have is the check in time. It was way too late. The two hour gap between check out and check in is unnecessary and very frustrating as this is not a hotel room that has to be cleaned.
