We enjoyed a great experience at Crystal Springs Campground over Xmas 2021. The campground is quiet & well kept with many sites having great views of the lake. Electrical & water hook ups were in good shape, the site was level and plenty wide enough.

The site was very nice and we would have enjoyed it, but.... Unfortunately, the volunteer at the site decided to use a leaf blower for 6 hours!!! on Christmas Day, totally destroying the peace and quiet that this day should have been about. He should have used this time to better clean the bathhouse, which certainly needed some attention. The sad thing was that he spent about 15 minutes cleaning leaves out of sites and the rest of the time simply blowing them into a big pile and then blowing the pile down a hill. Really???? Totally ridiculous!

Many of the spaces to close together in area C. Fire pits to close to the camper.
