Our visit here was great. Beautiful sites either right on the lack or close by. 30 minutes from Hot Springs.

We had a wonderful W/E site on the banks of Lake Ouachita. Unfortunately, the lake was 10ft below full which we learnt was due to work on the dam. It would have been neat to be able to fish from our RV!!! The 6pm check-in and 4pm check-out was unusual, the first campground in 20 years that we have found to have such late timings, but our site was available when we arrived at 4pm so we were not inconvenienced. Although we did not use the showers, they looked clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend this campground.

This is a slightly older park but the restrooms, though showing signs of wear were very well maintained. Again, consistent with an older park, many sites were fairly close together. Just a 25 minute ride to downtown Hot Springs.

Too open and not enough privacy for our liking at Crystal Springs. In comparison, we love Tompkins Bend for the more woodsy, quiet, nature experience. We also like the MTB LOViT trails more from the West. I do want to say that the cleaning staff at Crystal Springs was an A. Compared to Tompkins Bend a B-
Folks were friendly at our site. In the next loop over, There was a dog left barking (for hours) under a tarp in the rain. It should be clear that campers should not leave their dog unattended at a tent site. I felt bad for the dog.

#42 is a awesome spot but very tight for a 32’ trailer! The park needs to ad a 45deg angle to the left side to aid in backing in . The trailer tires will drop off there pad on that side if not careful
