Great campground with good cell service, the sites are clean and spacious and has good amenities like a grill, fire pit, water picket and electrical hookup. Pay attention to what loop you choose because not every loop has a bathroom accessible, the bathrooms are kept clean as well as the showers. Access to the lake is easy though some areas gets muddy.

Should have paper maps available. (The website doesn't show the overall campground well.) Otherwise good.

We enjoyed the grounds. Our site was on an incline that made it difficult to level. Bathrooms needed more attendance over the holiday weekend, ran out of tp and a stopped up toilet. Would appreciate extra hooks or a shelf near the sink. We would have enjoyed it more if the site could be leveled better.

Had to leave out before daylight. The park is so dark and with no signs to show the way to the front gate , we made a couple of loops around the park before finally getting to the front gate. Other than that we enjoyed our stay

No ranger on duty. No way to find out what site I was supposed to be on. Couldn't get on email to find out.

Crystal Springs is a very popular campground, for good reason. The RV lots are good size, mostly level, and have electric and water. The restrooms are well maintained. There are nice playgrounds for the kids, and beautiful Lake Ouachita to swim in. But since this is a very popular RV destination, it's a good idea to reserve ahead of time.

Very quiet and pretty, good base for Hot Springs visit. We had to change sites to get one that was level, but the camp host was helpful and friendly thoughout the process.
