No hiking to speak of but there is a boat launch ramp. Many sites have partial shade so solar is not reliable. Free to stay but you have to reserve sites online. A few sites can handle a big rig but not all. Lots of verizon bars but very slow verizon service if you are on a network managed plan. Unmanaged att was much better... more

My perfect site (having solar) is site 3. Site 4 is next in line then site 2 and 1. There are 8 total sites in this campground and a group site. The boaters were courteous and quiet as were the other campers. I love Mystic Springs and will definitely come back.

As noted, it's free but you must create an account to register then print your "receipt" to display. When I arrived someone had "my" spot but since they were using solar I let them have it & took a shady spot. It was not busy as far as campers, just the two of us. This is a busy boat ramp from an hour before sunrise until an hour after sunset. The sights I saw all had picnic tables & fire rings with the occasional cig but & beer cans around the perimeter. There was 1 trashcan near the 1 portoilet on site. Keep in mind this is river lowland & has it's share of critters that bite, flying & otherwise. There are only a few RV sites, the others are in the trees or a group site. The road is paved to the ramp the loop is hard packed sand / gravel. I was on a motorcycle hauling a camper & had no problem.
