Beautiful lake and very nice campground with a large swimming area. Crystal Springs is perfect for kayaking and most of the lakeside spots have access to the water. Some of the RV sites have a slope so don't forget your leveling blocks. For those needing a little retail therapy, the city of Hot Springs is only 20 minutes away. We'll definitely be back!

The area is beautiful, clean and well maintained. I felt very safe with frequent rounds by park employees and sheriffs department. The only complaint I have is the campsite was very unlevel and we did not have enough blocks to level, found a couple of big rocks for one side but then the step to get in camper was over 2 ft from ground.
