We were there for a Monday night through Wed night stay on our way to TX. Nice park, relatively clean restrooms, helpful staff, close enough to Hot Springs to easily drive there. There is a nice swimming area with a sandy beach. There are sites right next to the lake.

We like to be a little farther away from our neighbors than we were here. But it wasn’t too bad.
We took our stand up paddle boards to get on the lake but it’s 2 miles to the open waters of the lake. We did get to do a little bit of exploring along the small canals that lead out to the lake. The boat traffic was fierce and created a lot of waves.
All in all this place was pretty but aimed more at people who have motorized boats to get out to the lake.
We used our own bathroom so I can’t rate the bathrooms there.

Love coming to Crystal Springs park on Lake Ouachita every year. It’s been summer vacations for the past 20 years. Clear water and plenty of places to relax and swim.

Site 42 is perfect for families with kids who love to swim. You can swim right from the campsite while still being in the dedicated swim area. The spot stays sunny for a lot of the day, so bringing extra shade is a plus on hot summer days.

The tent only campsite is outside the campground, very very close to the road which goes to Marina and Resort, so there's a lot of disturbance from vehicle movement and trucks towing their boats.
The toilets and showers weren't in the best of their shape, with no soap dispensers in toilets.
