Crystal Springs is one of the best campgrounds on Lake Ouachita. Lake is low, so extreme caution when boating is recommended. Beautiful lake

The only reason I am giving it a three star rating is because the site was so uneven we had to go Walmart and purchase additional leveling blocks. It took about 26 blocks to get the camper as level as it was possible to get. We were on loop A spot 5. The camp ground itself was beautiful and very quiet at night. The showers were clean and in good working order. We had a great time and enjoyed the area a lot.

We were on A21 which is across from a bath house. If you have a lot of people, especially kids, this is a very convenient site. It is spacious, especially on the back side with plenty of room to park your boat. Nice and level with a view of the lake from either side.
