We had a lake front site that was almost perfect. There wasn't as much shade as we thought we'd have. We have a popup so it got a little warm. From our site, the kids were able to get in the water. There was an awesome playground, but it was inaccessible due to C19. The bathrooms were clean. The sites on the other side of the campground were away from the lake a bit, but were very shady. Overall, the views were fantastic, and we would definitely go back. Pretty decent cell service with T-Mobile.

Reviewed park on line ACE site, no notice that is was going to be closed, definitely was when arrived, had to find alternate park.

Stayed at this campsite after a long day on the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail. Wouldn't recommend Site #2 but I did arrive at camp around 6PM on a Friday and was able to get the site so that was a plus. Took a brief walk around the camp and it has some nice amenities including showers and a beach if you want to go swimming.

It was flooded when we went and dead but still incredible! Clean bathrooms and friendly DNR. The lake was really nice and good fishing! The scenery was great and lots of wildlife. Went crystal digging at Coleman which was also unbelievable. Will definitely go back when half the US is underwater!

I want to start by saying how nice the staff was. There was a nice lady at the check in desk that helped us find a site before the busy labor day weekend. We had a wonderful conversation about our travels and since she had to help cars driving by she greeted everyone cheerfully even while helping us.

This park offers all amenities. The facilities were well kept and the campsites were very nice. There is RV and tent camping available. This area is good for day use as well as there is a swimming and picnic area. What I found so neat, is that there is the ability to park boats right on the lake near your campsite. you literally walk down a hill to your boat once you load it in. It is right on the Ouchita lake, so there is plenty of room for all water sports.

Level sites. Water & Electrical available. Beach. Marina just down the park entrance. Boat launch ramp up the road.

The campsites (I'm referring in particular to those with hookups because I have not seen primitive ones here) are too close together. Nonetheless, this is an attractive and popular spot, with activities for families like a nice beach and play structure. There are some sites positioned close to the water, so you can look at a view instead of just your neighbor. In the hottest months of summer, bear in mind that Charlton Recreation Area, just a hop down the road, has colder (spring-fed) swimming water than the lake as well as plentiful forested, spacious, primitive sites in their own dedicated primitive camping loop.

We’ve enjoyed Crystal Springs Camp Ground on beautiful Lake Ouachita for the past several years. It’s waterfront campsites are easily accessible for families to walk to and from.

there aren’t many just tent sites. and they aren’t on the nice part of the water although they are a very short still to the nice part of the water. the lady at the front went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and the showers and toilets were very clean. all the other campers were super nice as well. all in all I loved the experience

Sstayed here on several trips. I always loved it. Cell service (Verizon) was very good, picked up a good number of tv stations on regular TV. No Wi-Fi or sewer hookups. We stayed for 5 days with 4 teenage grandkids and had a blast. Rented a pontoon boat for a day and had a blast (price was much less than I expected. Incredible hiking all around you. Campground is secluded and quite. We saw eagles every day and fishing was great.

The first thing you notice when you come here is the clear lake that is a short walk away from the campsite. The sites are pretty big and has a shelter because it rains pretty often here. It actually was sprinkling a little at night. In the hike you can see a lot of bird watchers.

Wooded lake and mountains with lots of water activities, sandy beach, a restaurant. The campground is decent sized, wooded, shady, privacy varies a lot. We were lucky to reserve a site right on the water so the kids spent all the time splashing down there within sight of our picnic table.

Crystal Springs campground is great. The lake is great. I was too busy having fun and didn't take enough pictures. There are breathtaking views of the Ouchita Mountains. There is springs coming out of the ground on hikes. The creeks are crystal clear and fun to wade around in. There is a swim beach but you can swim anywhere. So when I got hot I just jumped in the water to cool down. Most the campsites are at the waters edge. We fished at night for catfish and caught what we needed. The campground is pet friendly. My dogs are like my kids and they had fun. There was a night or two when I had to hush them up because of raccoons. The bathrooms have hot and cold water. There is a fish cleaning station. Our campsite #18 was great. It had a picnic table, fire pit, barbecue grill and a little table beside grill and nice shade. The campground is about 16-17 miles from Hotsprings, Arkansas.

We visited here for a get away from Dallas. Bit of a far drive, but great spot. There was a stream through camp you could go play in and nice hiking trails from camp. The camp hosts were very friendly and the services were great.
