Safe site, beautiful location. I liked the secure bathroom. Only camp to overnight camp, and hope to come again to visit longer.

What I loved was being able to dock my boat right in front of my campsite for the whole time. The site was large enough to enjoy the room.

Crystal Springs is just an overall great campground on one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. Hosts are friendly and sites are kept clean.

Nice camp on beautiful Lake Ouachita. Plenty of water access from campsites to rocky beaches that are good for swimming. Great lake for kayaking and motorized water sports, with both secluded coves and plenty of open water. Campground is well maintained with clean facilities. Camp hosts are courteous and helpful.

Site 26 and 17 are both awesome. Only issue at 26 was 30 amp receptacle was upside down. We had a great time.

Campground is lovely and lake is gorgeous and refreshing. In a tent I found distant generator noises somewhat annoying and there is a very bright light outside the bathroom which floods half the loop including this site which is quite far from it.

59 slants on the door side. We had to use 2, 2x6 boards under each tire. The grill is close to the canopy if you utilize the pad all the way back, but we didn't have any issues by pulling up some. All in all, good clearance for our starlink devise and our tailgater.
