Love camping at Crystal Springs each year. We try to camp there at least twice a year. Always a good experience there

Beautiful sites- almost all of them on the water in our area. Great playground with swings and a sandy beach. Sites are a little close together, but mature landscaping helps to make your space feel like your own. It was about 20 min to Hot Springs

Really nice campground. Showers/bathrooms were clean. We loved the area - rented kayaks from the marina down the road, hiked, kids rode bikes.

It was a beautiful spot. We enjoyed the lake view. Soooo relaxing. We went to Burl's Smokehouse twice for lunch and jerky. They have awesome food. Everyone should stop there if you're staying at Crystal Springs.

absolutely beautiful and a great place to winter over. The hosts Browns were very congenial and welcoming.

Quiet and clean park in February.

Absolutely stunning campsite! It appears that there were not many people here in the winter so we were able to snag a nice waterfront area. Loved the wildlife and how quite the area was.
@WILLIAMM503355 · Camped on Jan 5, 2025 at Campsite #35
Due to weather, we were not allowed to connect to the water. Everyone was nice!!! The campgrounds are wonderful. We will stay again!

Absolutely gorgeous site. Mostly easy to access!
@ThomasP9156982 · Camped on Nov 29, 2024 at Campsite #51
We loved ours entire stay. Our campsite was perfect. View awesome, bike riding terrific.
@TamiB796777123 · Camped on Nov 27, 2024 at Campsite #54
We enjoyed our stay. We liked the spot we chose. Spots are close proximity to each other. Leashed dogs need to be enforced. Camper let their dogs out without leash and ran to another campers site causing a dog fight. Campers talked it out, but we see this way too often.
@SheldonJEEC8EA · Camped on Nov 27, 2024 at Campsite #28
What a wonderful getaway! The view is spectacular. We went on thanksgiving week, but cant wait to try this area in the summer time.
@RobertK4087757 · Camped on Nov 25, 2024 at Campsite #11
Quiet, clean and beautiful views. We look forward to staying again next year.
@WesleyO5625033 · Camped on Nov 24, 2024 at Campsite #52
Water didnt work properly at site. Noisy dogssome of which were loose.
@ShanaJ6EFBBE18 · Camped on Nov 22, 2024 at Campsite #18
Camp sites too close together, no privacy, felt sketchy, drove through and left and stayed in a hotel before switching to a state park.
@CrystalM858548 · Camped on Nov 22, 2024 at Campsite #8
It was a beautiful campground. Sites were spacious and we had a lovely view of the water.
@JackH2795231 · Camped on Nov 22, 2024 at Campsite #35
Nice good people
@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Nov 21, 2024 at Campsite #5
We really enjoyed the hiking trails and the spot we stayed , Loop A 05 , was the perfect spot. I had read that the spot was uneven but theyve leveled it because we had no problems whatsoever so ever. The neighbors were nice and we enjoyed it. Its close to shopping so it was really convenient ! Will definitely stay again!
@CodyH6682234 · Camped on Nov 18, 2024 at Campsite #39
Absolutely beautiful
@brucer6955059 · Camped on Nov 15, 2024 at Campsite #17
It was a great spot, the only slight problem that we had was that the spot was graded down, and we had a little problem getting our self leveler to work, but it was a great spot right by the water
@DavidS3927304 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #23
It is a great place to camp,great lake
@NatalieR612184 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #DG
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.
@TamaraE3844464 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #72
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.
@RickeyBA2C7185 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #15
We loved being close to the lake it was peaceful will be back

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!!!
