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!

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.

Campground was nice but the campground hosts/volunteers are feeding stray dogs. These dogs are running around the campground late at night barking and howling. No sleep.. I hope one these dogs don't get rabies and bite someone.

Very clean - the sites, the restrooms, the showers - were all in good shape. It was quiet at night and we had no issues during the day. A few boats came by during the morning with fishermen but that was no issue. The lakes in the area are VERY low right now (15+ feet down) due to lack of rain.

Great sites! It would be better if people could seat around the Fire rings.

Lots to do in nearby Hot Springs or just relax around the campfire enjoying the beautiful lake.
