We loved our time spent at Crystal Springs. Our only issue was the sites on one end of the campground are really unlevel and awkward for longer rigs. Our TT is 38 ft long, and our site was 55 ft. We thought we'd be ok, but a tree blocked us from being able to pull all the way in. The ranger said we could move, but the sites on the other side of the park were a bit more exposed, and weren't available for our whole stay. We dealt with being 3' too high in the front, but having more privacy was worth it! So quiet, and peaceful, we would definitely go back. Showers were clean, and had hot water with good pressure.

Second time to this sight
42 is nice
Very good view
A little tight for our 33’ trailer
Because of the back up angle

Loved the quite location, the view of the lake, the ease of use of the power and water utilities and the proximity to the shower and bathrooms. The site had a small prep table next to the grill which was nice for setting food and cooking utensils on while I cooked. Site had a picnic table and fire ring as well, would love to visit again!

Great!! I think there are too many spaces not available to occupy because they are un reservable but are left empty. I wonder if people cancel and then the space is not added back into the system. We had to move from one spot to another and then no one occupied the spot we moved from. Another spot we reserved later in the season totally disappeared off the map until it was too late to reserve I love being able to reserve but I think someone is messing with the system or their is a flaw. Something is wrong

We had a waterfront site and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the campground. The boaters were respectful of the no-wake zone and the restrooms were clean and well stocked.
