We enjoyed our 3 nights. It would be good to note that the bathrooms are quite far from loop B. (There are no bathrooms in that loop) Other than that, we found our stay quite lovely.

This is one of the prettiest, well-kept campgrounds anywhere. Several spots will be your favorite spots and many are right on the water. Plenty to do with swimming, boating, playground, etc. We watched an eagle chase fish in the lake and dive to grab one with his talons and it was spectacular. You are just minutes from convenience stores, cafes, and there's a Dollar General nearby. Because you are so close to Hot Springs, you'll get great reception for TV and phone. The park rangers are always around and it is very safe. Enjoy!

At first I was not impressed till we backed on and let the garfe door down on our camper. Was just Beautiful and relaxful. Near by towns as well to stock up on. But the one bad thing is the camp host was missing. No information could be asked. Plus they was burning near by woods which we was not warned about at all. We had to leave for a couple of hours.

The park is a great for family and group gatherings. Sites are pretty close and most have lots of shade. The sites near the water are much more level than the ones that are not. Watch out for the "Check-out & Check-in" time. A lot of people were not in a hurry to leave by the 4pm Check-out as some left well after 6pm (which is the Check-in time). If you do have an issue, you can call the Park Rangers (if they answer the phone!) or try to see if the Camp Host can help. They were not available so we contacted Recreaction.gov and they found a new site for us.
Other than that the place was fun. There is a beach area/playground for the kids to go and play. Kayaking, various boating, fishing, biking and hiking in the area. Go and see the Quartz / Crystal Mines in the area as well.
Heads up as there is not a grocery close by so get stocked up prior to arriving. Oh there is a small store/liquor store in the town of Crystal Springs but nothing major, jus' sayin'!
Have fun and enjoy your stay, we did!
