Loved our time there! The flooding forced us to move campsites, but we got a call with plenty of notice and both staff members we talked to were very kind and helpful. Would definitely be back!

Clean bathrooms, quiet park, a variety of sites to choose from tent camping to big trailers. Kids played on the beach all evening and we were within an hour of several other places to visit in Hot Springs and beyond. This made it a great jumping off point!
For those who need it (like my husband who never really takes a vacation), cell coverage was not a problem.
We would stay again if ever in the area!

Love camping at Crystal Springs each year. We try to camp there at least twice a year. Always a good experience there

Beautiful sites- almost all of them on the water in our area. Great playground with swings and a sandy beach. Sites are a little close together, but mature landscaping helps to make your space feel like your own. It was about 20 min to Hot Springs

Really nice campground. Showers/bathrooms were clean. We loved the area - rented kayaks from the marina down the road, hiked, kids rode bikes.

It was a beautiful spot. We enjoyed the lake view. Soooo relaxing. We went to Burl's Smokehouse twice for lunch and jerky. They have awesome food. Everyone should stop there if you're staying at Crystal Springs.
