Crystal Springs is a lovely campground and well maintained. Far enough from the noise of the main highway but still very accessible. The bathrooms were clean.

Great site close to bathhouse and could see the lake from our site. The site wasn't super level. We noticed many sites in our loop were very unlevel, so be prepared. Shower heads shot the water right over the curb into the dressing area. This would be easy to correct with different shower heads, so don't know why it isn't. Overall, a nice place with some minor quirks.

@CaseyM20601932 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #13

Spot number 13 was amazing. It had a great view and it was the perfect spot for tent canping!

@ScottM5484435 · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #28

Stayed at spot 28B. Very nice park. Clean and beautiful. Close to Hot Springs so a quick trip into town was enjoyable. Renting a pontoon boat is a must. We were there in October and the weather was perfect. We had the lake to ourselves. Lake is beautiful from the water. Must see.

Great place by the river, clean restrooms and amazing star gazing

There were no vacancies at hot springs state park. Were first timers. We passed this one going in. We couldn't get good signal and do the reservation online it kept kicking us back so I got quiet frustrated. But when we got there the camp host (Roy I believe) said yeah we get that a lot go on in there and take this tag and find u a spot and some signal and reserve it and come baxk up or well be around to bring u a confirm tag. Later. Very friendly very understanding it was way before 3 pm. We found the perfect spot for us and our little aussie dog. Bathrooms were clean and had good hot water. We explored around the cove found a little creek with some water still in it. The water was several feet low so we found a spot to walk down to the rocky shore skip rock and let our service dog do her jump swimming/pull in training. . She was still in a life jacket and leash. Water was a bit chilly but felt amazing Views were great. The drop off because of the marina and the boat dock was pretty close to shore and pretty deep but u could pull ur boat up into the cove.. the swimming area was kinda muddy from the low water levels. And dogs can't swim over there anyway. So we made our own way The tree coverage was amazing. We stayed cool and comfy the couple night we were there. We didn't make it down to the marina. But overall if we want a nice little quiet cove on the lake we'll pick this spot. It def hit our needs for the stay and might have stayed longer but we had another destination. Wasn't that far into hot springs. Lovely little camp ground. Everyone was SUPER friendly and loved our little fur baby.

beautiful spot, but the sites are a little too close together

@WhitneyB743423 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #52

This was the best little trip! My family of 5 stayed in a big tent for 3 nights. This spot is right on the water where you could park a boat or fish, and my kids even swam. My only complaint is that the tent "pad" is just rocks so it was very hard. I had a carpet for inside the tent but it made driving the pegs a bit of a challenge. Wish it had more shade also so make sure to bring your canopies. You can see the bathrooms from this spot. Bathrooms are clean. Beach area is great and not far also. It's a busy campground but everyone was respectful of the rules. It was a fantastic stay!

@ShaneC91DAE3B5 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #18

Loved the spot had such a beautiful view and set up! Just wish they had a better trash location to throw out our bags! But I give it a 10/10

@LorenaC5434873 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #34

The scenery was beautiful and peaceful. The park was very clean and well kept. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

@RobbieMA3670F5 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #33

Excellent views. Very quiet the time of year we visited. Enjoyed the hiking trail. Met nice people. Loved the sunrises. Easy site access

@AmandaT3784805 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #24

My family and I had a wonder experience.The area was nice, clean restrooms, and showers.

@JanetC4565717 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #8

@BillK6985DA702 · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #58

Frequent camper at this campground and its always top notch.The sites are always well maintained and friendly campground hosts.

@WadeW13901BCA6 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #31

Enjoyable 3 night stay in late August. We stayed in space 31, and cell coverage was good enough to stream tv and movies. Bathrooms were clean, campground was quiet at night. Will return in near future.

@SamP9870406 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #18

My husband, friend and I were back again for my birthday in August. And while I understand this is the prime time for boating and water activities I was a little disappointed with the lack of privacy we had at our spot with other guest walking through to their boats. Other than that we enjoyed the amazing view and the water was refreshing on the hot afternoons! Still definitely coming back!

@GlennBEE215EAF · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #44

What a extremely nice park! Staff extremely friendly and helpful, park is clean and well kept! Every campsite is immaculate! Will come back again for sure!

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #47

Love Crystal Springs campground and Lake Ouachita. Weve met a lot of people over the past 20 years of going to the park.

@AaronM4160322 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #2

(1) Entrance gate was challenging enough to get to, once there, no campsite host or volunteers were available to ask for guidanceeven when 2 of the camp host spots were clearly occupied by someone so there should be a camp host to entertain new arrivals(2) While map was provided, or at least can take a photo of, it was hard to read where tent sites are. To make things worse, the tent sites were actually or seemingly situated outside the campground (or at least thats how it appeared since there was a route from the campground to the tent site but there was a gate blocking access to it). The only way to access it is to drive out the campground again!(3) Tent sites are hike in only but one of the sites was too far from the parking lot unlike the other one

@SandraD3275338 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #46

Nice campsites and hot showers!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
