Crystal Springs is a camper’s paradise! I can’t decide on a favorite site—#26, 32, 47, 23, 69—they’re all fantastic, honestly. The hosts are super nice and give you space without being nosy, which I really appreciate. It’s perfectly located, close enough to Hot Springs for a quick town trip and not too far from Patty’s either. A peaceful, well-kept spot that makes every camping trip a joy—highly recommend!

We are here now and honestly feel like we are in heaven! What a beautiful place and such kind people! I am hoping to come back again and again! The restrooms are super clean and warm for those cool evenings and cool mornings!

You must register after you find your spot, then fill the little yellow card out and post it at your stop. Make sure you're not in a group camping spot first! Also, you cannot book a Friday night without also booking for Saturday night. Very clean grounds, beautiful scenery, and we stayed 3 nights! Will 100% come back!

Went for an overnight trip to visit Hot Spring National Park and camped out here during the visit. The atmosphere was nice. Reaching the campsite entrance and check in was slightly confusing. Google told me I reached my destination before I actually got to the entrance so I was able to see the campground before I arrived at the entrance. The email instructions said to fill out the self check-in form and a ranger would come around to verify. We never saw a ranger or anyone come around to verify. The cost to stay was very low and it was about 30 minutes away from Hot Springs National Park. There is not much super close by so it's a quiet campground with a lake on the campground and more lakes nearby.

Since it was off-season, the first gate was locked. But you can just drive down and go through the second entrance and double back to get to the first loop. The sites are perfect! Plenty of options for your personal setup. The restroom facility was fairly clean and has full showers available. There's some site lighting as well.

Clean bathhouse, lots of bass boats during the day. Quiet before ten pm.

I would have given a better grade but all night long there is a sub pump station running that's really loud and it drowns out the sounds of nature. The place is extremely well kept and everyone is nice.

Cute cabin! It has a great view and even a pizza cutter! The water heater must be very small. We couldn't finish 2 showers consecutively. Also no Kleenex. Nice for a remote little get a way.

Awesome camping! Most sites have easy access to the lake for swimming, fishing and boating. Loved it!

An absolutely beautiful place. I ate at the restaurant there. They are not doing indoor dining. But they have an outside patio that you can eat at. The food was wonderful
