Only shower house flooded with sewage and not usable. Campground host was very nice and apologized for the inconvenience. She said she had been waiting all week for someone to come to pump out the sewage.
Otherwise, the campsite was functional.

Very beautiful area. We were able to see barges go through, which we were hoping to see.

Very nice place to stay, off the beaten path and right on the Arkansas River. The road to the park is full of potholes, so drive slowly!
