Forced to an RV site (because of heavy EQUIPMENT & construction near tent sites), I then had to pay near6ly double price to stay the day, meanwhile having already paid for the day at my tent site!
Unfair not to refund me, since I paid for 2 sites. Thanks to fellow campers for helpingI

#42 is a awesome spot but very tight for a 32’ trailer! The park needs to ad a 45deg angle to the left side to aid in backing in . The trailer tires will drop off there pad on that side if not careful

Beautiful park with lots of lovely trails to get around and move the body. I didn't use the water features of the park as I was there in early November and didn't have a boat. The bathrooms were very well kept. Love that they were heated for the colder temps. Made showering so much more enjoyable.
The only reason for not having 5 stars, is the sites are definitely some work to get your trailer level on.

Too open and not enough privacy for our liking at Crystal Springs. In comparison, we love Tompkins Bend for the more woodsy, quiet, nature experience. We also like the MTB LOViT trails more from the West. I do want to say that the cleaning staff at Crystal Springs was an A. Compared to Tompkins Bend a B-
Folks were friendly at our site. In the next loop over, There was a dog left barking (for hours) under a tarp in the rain. It should be clear that campers should not leave their dog unattended at a tent site. I felt bad for the dog.
