We rented the pavilion on Saturday the 30th. Great spot. Close to the lake. Had two charcoal grills to work with. Only a few yards tip the lake. Beautiful spot. Bathrooms were very well taken care of

Very old campground with no full hookups. Campsites are gravel and many are small. Lots of shade and lake views though. Rustic! We wouldn't camp here except our adult daughter loves the quiet and camps here every year. It is where she got engaged. Our 41 ft trailer just barely fit in the site we chose. It was not designed for larger RVs. Inexpensive especially with America the Beautiful card.

Nice campground. No Ranger there full time though, so people are Very lax about keeping their dog leashed or picking up after them. We were in site 29 with a 42 ft 5th wheel and it was a challenge getting into the site. It did have plenty of space though and was close to the playground and beach. If you have the America the Beautiful senior pass it makes the price go down by half.

Beautiful area. Our site was a bit tricky to back into. We have full size super duty with 8 ft bed and 36 ft fifthwheel.

Great spot on the lake. Beach, playground, rv hook ups. Sites pretty level. Would go back.

Great place to camp. Beautiful lake with plenty of things to do for all ages. Very peaceful. 10/10 recommend visiting or checking out the nearby trails.

We absolutely loved this campground, the host were so helpful. We stayed at site 47 right on the water. It's very boater friendly. We will bring ours next time.

Reserved a Pavillion last Sunday for a work get together and was very pleased with the recreation area. Clean restrooms and well maintained grounds. We will be back!

Site 37 next to the play and beach area was great location. Not many trees so stays hot and not many options for hammocks, but loved it anyways! Only complaint... Loop B needs restrooms!

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.
