Loved our time there! The flooding forced us to move campsites, but we got a call with plenty of notice and both staff members we talked to were very kind and helpful. Would definitely be back!

Clean bathrooms, quiet park, a variety of sites to choose from tent camping to big trailers. Kids played on the beach all evening and we were within an hour of several other places to visit in Hot Springs and beyond. This made it a great jumping off point! For those who need it (like my husband who never really takes a vacation), cell coverage was not a problem. We would stay again if ever in the area!

Great spot (#48). Good view, right on water, close to shower house.
@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Mar 23, 2025 at Campsite #55
Love camping at Crystal Springs each year. We try to camp there at least twice a year. Always a good experience there

@EmilyB3587069 · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #30
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
@HillaryGFC7C30 · Camped on Mar 9, 2025 at Campsite #44
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.
@VictoriaP7AF6C · Camped on Feb 13, 2025 at Campsite #32
Quiet and clean park in February.
@AmandaT3784805 · Camped on Jan 25, 2025 at Campsite #46
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!
@DougG5309217 · Camped on Dec 18, 2024 at Campsite #69
Beautiful area, but we pulled in, paid, went to sleep, then got rousted in the middle of the night by the police who said the area was closed!?If its closed, close the gate!!!!
@GabbyD581CDB7A · Camped on Dec 15, 2024 at Campsite #13
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

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!!!
