Best Campgrounds near Crystal Springs, MS

Came in late, after dark, so could not pay for anything until morning (actually writing review before, but shouldn’t be an issue). The morning light brought a few pleasant surprises. We stayed at #15 which was on the farther side and so to my surprise in the morning: a CABOOSE was adjacent to us. Yup, a rusting out old railroad caboose. Was quite cool/rustic feeling.

Our spot (and the adjacent two others) have a nice grassy area and a little more open to the sky (I prefer, not all do). 110v outlets were perfect as we only have a roof-top tent. The access road is level and easy. The picnic tables are old but completely fine. Feels like they do stain/seal them often to make last. Fire pits/grills were well positioned but could use a bit of digging out. No shovel with me on this trip.

The big detractors: the ONE shower is almost unusable due to moisture damage and possible mold (maybe just mildew). It was too chancy for us to use. Definitely dropped a full star on that alone. The rest of the bathroom was OK. Lotta bugs, ants and spiders. Maintenance seems weekly more than daily. If workers read this….needs a strong fan in bathrooms and showers (blowing and pulling air).

Overall a great spot. I’m rare to give 5 stars so a four is great had bathroom been better. This also does not include experience with staff/office as yet to do so. May update but I forget to add reviews if I wait.

It’s an ok place. When we arrived it was late and someone had parked in our reserved spot. We called after hours number and they were quick to give us another lot, which was taken as well. On the 3rd try we got a spot. They were very apologetic, gave us a discount and even called the next day to make sure everything was ok with our stay. We stayed here for a month for work. All the sites are drive thru, The drive thru concrete side is nicer than the gravel. On the gravel side (where we stayed) it looks like some live there, the trailers are old and they look trashy. But we made it work being we only ate and slept there. We didn’t have a picnic table, but some spots do. But the concrete side is very clean. The amenities were, a small play ground for kids & a pool. We didn’t use these but they have a shower and bathroom. It also has a dog play area. We will return in July for one week of work. But we reserved the concrete area. There’s a Walmart and few stores nearby. Anyway, overall it’s really not a bad place to stay. Was just surprised at the age and upkeep of some of the RVs There’s very few places to stay in this area. But it’s really not that bad. So yes I would recommend.

We spent a weekend in October here and absolutely loved it. We had a tent site and my only complaint about that was a leaking spicket that drained onto campsites. The trick or treating is the best. Start right when you can because there are so many sites offering candy or haunted areas. The spook trail is top tier! And there were plenty of activities throughout the day for the kids. Water park is heated which I didn’t know and wished we brought swim suits. Had tons of laughs and memories with my family. So much so we already booked for next October and have more family coming!!
