We enjoyed our stay at Crystal Springs. We had a spot in the water and the views were great. This was our first outing with a new camper - most everything went really well. There was one issue with the dump station being full right when we were ready to leave. The accommodations are nice with good camp spots with power and water. The rangers and other campers were great! We will camp there again and bring our pontoon boat next time!

We camped in a 30’ travel trailer in Site 31. We loved our site and the B loop!! This site has a great view of the lake, plenty room between us and other sites and we were able to launch our kayaks from our site. The site was also plenty long enough for our truck and the camper. Crystal Springs is very convenient to Hot Springs, crystal mining and hiking in the Ouachita Natl Forest.

We loved this campground! The sites along the swimming area/playground are PERFECT for parents! We could relax at our campsite with an unobstructed view of what the kids were up to, and a glance in the other direction is a beautiful view of the lake! The cherry on top for me was walking into a warm, clean shower room with HOT, not warm ish, HOT water! Such a treat!
