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.

Okay park to quick stopovers. No hosts on site. We stayed a few days and restrooms were never cleaned nor attended plus there was no toilet paper!!! No one to report to.

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!

Cut the tree tops that have broken and are hanging ( everywhere throughout the campground) before someone gets hurt or killed! This storm damage happened months ago, and still has not been fully cleaned up.
