Great place to park if you need to be close to Fort Smith. Easy to book, easy to park, clean, and scenic.

This was a nice stay. Was quiet even though it was next to a busy road. Great bicycle trails and plenty of places to take dogs for a walk. Spent a lot of time on the bike trails, they were awesome. RV sites were very spacious. I was A03, and it was not level, but a few other spots were, not many. Backed up to the water with great scenery. The only reason for the 4-star is the showers. All showers did say closed for the winter. It was not until I was out for a bicycle ride and heard someone showering that I had found an open shower. Think the shower I checked in that building must have been out of order, but the sign said different, so I didn't check other showers. The showers were very clean and well kept with warm water in the shower on a push-button system. Wanted to stay another week but had somewhere to be. I use my internet for work and it was excellent service. T-Mobile Home internet was 5 bars with 97.4 mbp down and 42.2 mbps up. Verizon phone hotspot was 5 bars 5G with 65.4 down and 22.2 up.

We came to Ft Smith on the coldest week of the year 2024. The whole park froze up along with the water lines to the individual sites. We were very thankful for the camp host, who in single digit temps unlocked the maintenance shed to fill our 6 gal water tanks.
We enjoyed watching the locks with large barges coming thru. This park has some really nice trails which we enjoyed walking.
Would highly recommend this park that sits close to shopping and groceries.
Will stay here again when in the area
