Crystal Springs Campground Mid-sized Group Sites

Only two toilets for all the group sites. We ended up going all the way to the Visitor Center to use the restrooms.

The campground and area are beautiful but there are a few things to know about site M, it is on a hill with beautiful rocks next to the campsite and we were able to fit 4 tents on the site comfortably. The struggle with this site was getting to the bathroom, since the campsite was on a hill and the bathroom is at the bottom of the hill, going up and down is exhausting if you are not in great physical condition. The second issue is the bathroom, there are only 2 toilets in the entire group camp ground and the bathroom is only cleaned once per week according to the ranger who checked our reservation. You can walk to the bathroom at the Crystal Springs campground next door but again if you are not in good physical condition, it is exhausting. By the last day I had to drive to the bathroom because my knees could not make the climb and one of the 2 toilets in this campground was backed up anyway. We were there Thursday-Sunday, didn’t see the bathroom cleaned. It’s a shame because the campsite was beautiful but we won’t be back.

Room for restrooms improvement

The size of the camp site and parking was excellent. However having only 1 stall restrooms for the larger group sites was difficult. A longer walk was needed to the larger, nicer restrooms in the smaller single camp sites.

The campground was beautiful! Very spacious! The only thing that ruined our trip was the restrooms! They are horrible! They need to be more maintained! And there is only one stall per gender!

Site N is a nice spot. Spacious, party shaded with two big sequoias on site. Has two parking pads: fit a sprinter-van, Toyota Tundra and Honda CRV. It’s close to the rest room and water spigot. Yes there is only one restroom but there are others in the area if you cant wait a few minutes. There are sewer caps onsite but we didn't smell anything foul. Beautiful campground and area.

It was a great big place for a big family you have access near the restroom and you can walk around and explore

Great campground in a very beautiful area. You are sleeping under giant redwoods and sequoias. Bathroom on site but unfortunately no shower. Small store and restaurant walking distance from the campgrounds is

The campsite was very spacious and easy to find. Restrooms were very close which was very convenient. Both bear boxes were right next to each other and lower to the ground which made it easy to place in heavy coolers. However, most of the area was at a slight incline that even the park picnic tables were at an incline. That made sitting at the picnic tables uncomfortable. The fire pit was at a perfect spot, the area felt nice and very within the forest. We even got to see a few deer walk past us !

This camp site was a decent distance from the restrooms, just keep in mind there are only 2 individual toilets and a wash bin at the restroom location. there is a water spout on the site as well. The site itself was big with 3 picnic tables, though one table had a broken leg and was being supported by a large root and was a bit wobbly, but got the job done nonetheless. There was plenty of shaded areas to place our tents, we were able to set up 6 large tents up with plenty of shaded area to spare. There is a large area on this site that is not shaded where the picnic tables are, I'd recommend bringing your own canopy for some extra shade. Hume lake is a short drive away, highly recommend checking it out!
