Rangers were great! Our spot was near the restrooms and they were kept clean everyday.
We left early due to weather, but overall we enjoyed our stay!

Crystal springs is a popular campground. Its crowded these days during covid 19. Public boat ramp is around the cove so there is constant boat traffic. Campers typically launch their boat from there and beach it at their site during their stay. Kayaking and paddleboarding in protected small coves is nice but stay out of the channel traffic if not visible. Fishing from bank rendered a few bream and a keeper largemouth. Did not try catfish. There was a playground for the kids, canadian geese with goslings roamed the campsites, lots of birds and squirrels, road was level enough for easy morning bike rides. I would camp here again but not at site 18A. Currently its just too unlevel.

Wasn’t able to get a great spot due to no walk ups anymore. Stinks that the whole place is already booked for the whole summer!

Several good campsites in loops B and C. Loop A has great shade. Many sites are close to water. Some are too sloped for a camper. A bit too crowded when full.
