The grounds are well kept and everything is clean. The only issue is the bath house. The hot water only lasts about 30 seconds.

Campground has nice space between sites, and was very flat for parking or setting up tents. There is not much in the way of vegetation between sites so you have clear line of site to almost every site. Near Arkansas Post National Memorial and along the banks of the Arkansas River. Great campground for kids to ride their bikes/scooters, there is shady trees in most of the campground as well. I did think it was buggy, probably due to proximity to the water. Camp host was great - very friendly and welcoming!

A very nice campground! The sites have good space around them so that you don't feel crowded. The bathrooms were clean. The showers are the kind where you can't control the water temperature and have the push button on/off - you have to keep pushing the button when the water times out. The campsite numbers aren't posted very well - they need to write the campsite numbers on the pavement at each site.

Great campsite and campground. Only complaint was extremely quick push button for showers. There has to be a better way.

Small quiet campground with not much aesthetic to enjoy, if you care. Great place to rack for a night but not much else. Fire pits and picnic tables nice. Bathrooms not nice. All slabs level. Easy access. Closest town 20 minutes.

The water in the men’s shower does not stay on long enough.

Was a tip that became better then expected. Clean from the camp site to the bathroom. What they don't tell you is the showers are great. High pressure and it doesn't run cold. People on the grounds are all very welcoming and happy to be there. Pick this site next and there will be no disappointments.

So much to say…If coming in from the west beware of 212. It felt like I might rock off the road because my 25 foot class C was swaying back and forth on this small elevated road. Be extra careful going past the industrial area as the potholes are humongous. At the campground, the vibes were off. I’m not sure if it was because the picnic table had layers of dirt on the bench and table or because there was a road going through the campground that had regular traffic. Stayed one night.

Very nice campground. We stayed in a site along the river with a wonderful view!

The traffic was awful. Due to the main road running through the campground it was awful. Will never visit this campground again.
