Crystal Springs is one of my favorite Recreation areas on Lake Ouachita. Spacious campsites, on the lake front. Clean rest rooms and flat campsites. Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons. Close access to all the attractions in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Mid America Science Museum is the greatest for the kids.

Stayed Nov 30, 2020 to Dec 9 2020. Nice COE campground, with all the activities of Hot Springs AR about 20 miles away. I would definitely stay again.

Arkansas campgrounds are spoiling us right here in our own state and Crystal Springs on Lake Ouachita just east of Hot Springs may be the best. It is really spectacular and perfect in every way. Phone service was not bad and the spaces and views are wonderful! Enjoy!

What great place to spend a few nights in the fall and ride the great mountain bike trails in the area. I came primarily for the MTB trails.

This is a beautiful location, a lot of sites are on the lake. The sites are a bit narrow and not really level so be aware. Our trailer is a 28-ft, we didn’t have too much of an issue backing into our spot. Getting level was a bit hard, I think we did our best and still a little lopsided. Would definitely stay again though, it was nice and quiet.
The grounds and restrooms were kept clean, although there wasn’t any soap in the bathroom so I had to bring my own sanitizer every time.
I would definitely visit again.

The view is great and site has plenty of room. Be careful with a 5th wheel account low hanging limbs.

Tree limbs need to be trimmed. They hit your RV
