What Guests Are Saying

Crystal Springs Campground offers a beautiful and spacious environment, ideal for large gatherings, with ample shade and room for activities. However, the restroom facilities are a significant drawback, with only two stalls for the entire group loop, leading to cleanliness issues and long waits. Despite the bathroom shortcomings, many campers appreciated the campground's scenic location and the opportunity for exploration nearby.

There is no privacy at this campground. Sites are close together with not a lot of natural privacy (trees, etc). There is also only 1 bathroom, which led to long lines.

Also, when I showed up for my reservation, someone was at my campsite, and had already set up their camp,and had their dates mixed up, and were basically squatting on my campsite. They were nice about the mix up, but that also contributed to a less than stellar experience.

Overall, I would not stay here again.

The group sites all have a good amount of sun and shade . Site B has afternoon shade and is located close to trash cans and a short walk to a water fountain. Unfortunately the group site bathrooms are not ideal - all group sites share one men’s toilet and one women’s toilet . We walked to the bathrooms at the other camping area instead . Also there is only room for 2 vehicles at this site - extra cars can park across the road at Azalea campground .

Beautiful, clean, and very large spot for lots of campers and tents. Lots of trees and next to restrooms. Close to General Grant Village and a 2 mi walk to General Grant tree! Such fun!

Site recommended as it's located at the very top of the campground.
Could have a few more toilets on the group part of the campground

Site L was a group site, all in the sun. No shade. You need a pop-up! Didn’t end up staying there. We saw 4 small tents on the site.

Great time here! the campsite, H, is a bit secluded from the rest of the campsites & is surrounded by redwoods providing a natural shade for the whole day! The bathrooms as well as the trash bin are a short walk away but we were right across the water spigot.

Great location near to General Gran Tree is a 15 minutes hike, the King Canyon Visitors Center and Grant Groove Villages is less than 3 minutes drive. My 4 year old kid and 4 year old niece had a blast exploring. We drove to Hume Lake is less than 25 minutes drive.
