Trail Overview

Crystal Mountain spur road is the gateway to one of the most beautiful camping spots in Arkansas. With a peak of 1,680 feet, you can see for miles. At the top of this majestic peak, you have three camping spots that face the east. This makes for some of the most amazing sunrises Arkansas has to offer. This is a primitive campsite with firepits but there are no restrooms.

Difficulty

Navigating this trail is tricky as there are mostly large rocks you are driving over to get to the top. The road is washed out with several large boulders to the top.

Seen some deer, and other wildlife animals. Trails were mostly clear, with some rocks/sticks on the path. (Gravel road to the trail head before the view. Then a little wheeling over some rocks to the top)
