What Guests Are Saying
Choctaw Recreation Area is a beautiful and well-maintained park with polite staff and spacious campsites, particularly in Section D, which offers great views of the lake. Many visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the park and its peaceful atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for family camping. However, there are concerns about the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the lack of water hookups at campsites, along with some trash overflow issues.

Nice campground. It’s our favorite that’s within an hour of home. Campsites in area C are the ones to go for.

The campsite was very clean. The gate attendant was extremely knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. I really liked having life jackets available at the swimming area.

We camped June 13, 2021 and the grass needed mowed then, but camped again July 8, 2021 and the grass was knee high to walk to the water. We camped in D8 and so the grass was so high we carried our puppy. Seems like know one is controlling or enforcing any rules. We called the Heber Springs Corp of Engineers office to see when the grass was going to be mowed, and was told it's under contract and would call back to let me know. I received no call back. Also, seen campsite with 6 tents and several vehicles. Camp Host was not making her normal rounds. We love the campground and are going back this weekend, but I do hope it has been mowed!

For some unknown reason the Corp has kept the lake at a very high level making the water green and dingy. The new swimming area is all rocks and bushes making it almost impossible to enjoy. The launching ramp can only have one maybe two boats at a time launching due to such high water and making a very long line to launch. I understand the water being high back in May but not in July? This seems to be the norm the last few years. Can anyone explain why? We have discussed moving to a new lake. This was our 3rd. week this year to stay at Choctaw and maybe the last.

Tried modifying our reservation, thought it had then when I went back in to check our new date, just to make sure of our new check in date, found out it hadn't changed at all. Tried again to modify it and it wouldn't. Refreshed phone and app, tried again, same thing. Tried several more times, lots of fustration, over and over it would not change. Waiting currently to see if our money will be returned......
