Crystal Springs Lake, near Fairbury, Nebraska, is a charming spot for those looking to enjoy some time outdoors. With a mix of tent and RV sites, it’s a solid choice for campers who appreciate a simple yet pleasant environment.

The campground boasts several amenities, including electric hookups and drinking water at each site, making it convenient for your stay. Visitors have noted the three small spring-fed lakes, perfect for fishing and kayaking, although swimming isn’t an option due to the local wildlife. As one happy camper put it, “This is our second stay here,” highlighting the appeal of returning to this peaceful location.

You’ll find picnic tables at each site, and while there’s no firewood available, campfires are allowed, so don’t forget to bring your own supplies. The atmosphere here is generally quiet, even when the campground fills up, which is a big plus for those looking to unwind. One reviewer mentioned, “Even though the lower campground was pretty full, it was quiet,” which speaks volumes about the vibe.

If you’re into fishing or paddling, this place has you covered. Just remember to keep an eye out for snapping turtles while you’re out on the water. Crystal Springs Lake is a great spot to kick back, enjoy nature, and make some lasting memories.

Nice park for kayak and camping

This is our second stay here. Sites are $20 a night. That includes 30 and 50 amp hookups and water at each site. There are 3 small spring fed lakes that are open for fishing. No motorized boats but perfect for kayaks. There is no dump station.

Great weekend stay

Looking forward somewhere different to camp. Found Crystal Springs on Google Earth. Sites are big enough for our 38 foot 5th wheel with room to spare. Each site has 30 and 50 amp electric. Water also at each site. Picnic table is provided, we used our own fire ring. Three spring fed lakes to kayak or fish in. Even though lower camp ground was pretty full it was quiet. Would definitely recommend staying

Can’t swim in lake

I would say the only downside to this campground is the abu dance of snapping turtles you can still fish and kayak just no swimming.
