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.

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!
