Clean bathrooms, nice sites, a pretty area, and affordable. Hard to ask for much more.

Site 17 was so beautiful, we even saw 2 eagles. Very peaceful looking down on the lake watching the Canadian Geese.

Lovely view. Nice place for the kids to play. Relatively close to the city.

The campsite was very nice. Bathrooms were clean. The only problem we had was the couple in site #4 kept opening their door before putting their large dog on a leash and he charged right towards my Yorkie. The dog would not obey his owner. One time the dog ran out and went clear to the other end of the campsite and back before his owner caught him. It's fine to bring your dog, however you must obey the leash law!!!'

I hope we can get this spot again, we have enjoyed many in the past, but now this is our favorite!

The campsite 27 had a great view of the lake. It is not close to either of the bathhouses . Despite the shutdown they kept toilet paper and paper towels stocked but no soap. The campground was pretty full for the off season. Bathrooms were old and not super clean thus the 4 star rating. Decent service with AT&T. Was able to stream from my hotspot to my computer. Very peaceful even with lots of boats going by.

So beautiful, our site sat overlooking the water with water access so our dogs could go swimming. It was great!
@ricB7F36E53BE6 · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #47
The campsite was right on the water so we could have our boat right there the whole time.

59 slants on the door side. We had to use 2, 2x6 boards under each tire. The grill is close to the canopy if you utilize the pad all the way back, but we didn't have any issues by pulling up some. All in all, good clearance for our starlink devise and our tailgater.

@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #38
Lovely park right on the water
@EmmetD9102A952 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #13
Campground is lovely and lake is gorgeous and refreshing. In a tent I found distant generator noises somewhat annoying and there is a very bright light outside the bathroom which floods half the loop including this site which is quite far from it.
@GregS1457823 · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #26
Site 26 and 17 are both awesome. Only issue at 26 was 30 amp receptacle was upside down. We had a great time.
@GeorgeA8786885 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #19
Nice camp on beautiful Lake Ouachita. Plenty of water access from campsites to rocky beaches that are good for swimming. Great lake for kayaking and motorized water sports, with both secluded coves and plenty of open water. Campground is well maintained with clean facilities. Camp hosts are courteous and helpful.
@PaulM4542921 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #11
So very clean! Park Rangers extremely nice and helpful. The sweet lady from Denny Point that checked us in was delightful.
@CraigR8509397 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #46
Crystal Springs is just an overall great campground on one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. Hosts are friendly and sites are kept clean.
@ricB7F36E53BE6 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #44
What I loved was being able to dock my boat right in front of my campsite for the whole time. The site was large enough to enjoy the room.
@MaryY154008263 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #18
Safe site, beautiful location. I liked the secure bathroom. Only camp to overnight camp, and hope to come again to visit longer.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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!!!
