We had a great stay. The weather was really nice for the first and second day. A bit rainy on the third, but all in all beautiful place to camp and hike. Looking forward to our next visit.

It’s a nice park for family camping (whether tent or RV) with all the amenities and it not feeling overcrowded!

We had a wonderful time at Crystal Springs Campground the 9 days we stayed. Everyone was kind and friendly, especially the camp volunteers. Already have our April 2024 stay booked.

This is our favorite park on Lake Ouachita. We would REALLY like to see them add some gravel to the sites...most of the gravel is long gone and the pad is mostly dirt. An upgrade to the cell service would also be great! Not to miss it Hickory Nut Mountain road just outside the park. Beautiful Vista view over the lake from the top of the road!

The campground was incredibly well-maintained and beautiful. We walked right from our spot, into the lake with our kayak (so cool!) and thoroughly enjoyed riding our hybrid bikes on the road and hiking our pups on the long trail that could be accessed inside the campground (what a perk!). No-shade spots were available on the other side of the swim beach and would be ideal for the colder months but ample full-shade spots exist for the warmer months. It is a wonderful park.

This was our first time here and the experience was absolutely amazing! Campground was clean and well-kept, and camp hosts were awesome! Looking forward to coming back in the Spring!

The view of the lake and fall foliage was beautiful! For us it was load at night with hunters camping next to us with multiple tents ! They were partying and talking loudly until almost midnight. So Do not go in Nov. Appeared no one was minding the restrooms. Nasty toilets and no toilet paper! Only decent one that wasn’t gross was the big one. We ended up leaving a day early due to conditions and eating the cost. BUT the worst was when we called to request to move to a diff site away from the Lou’s people, we were told all were reserved! There were several sites empty and no one ever came. We left Sunday afternoon and still were empty.
