The place has changed a lot. Very crowded spots and the beach just went down hill.

, Lake Ouchita is our favorite lake in Arkansas. We have been camping on Lake Ouchita since the early 1960's starting when spots were free and on first come, first serve. Pitch a tent set it up, and your ready for a wonderful camping experience. We raised our two daughters on Lake Ouchita along with 5 to 6 other close families consisting of Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. We have seen many changes though the years and they have been for the better.We were over at Crystal Springs about two weeks ago. Our site was great we had a water view out of our front door as well as one from the back window. The gate attendances were very friendly and the campground is very clean and well maintained We are Seasoned Campers (another name for Senior Citizens or Old Folks) my husband is 82 and I am 78 years. We have been blessed to enjoy many years of camping . We will be back to Crystal Springs as soon, as we can get another reservation. Hopefully we will be able camp for couple more years. Come stay at Crystal Springs Campground, and enjoy beautiful Lake Ouchita.
