Large and nicely spaced sites. Lack of signs for direction into campground and around the loops makes arriving in a large motorhome challenging.

we camped along the Arkansas River and the sites were good. The bath house was not in good shape. The road in and out of the campground is also used by the public to get to the fishing area about a half mile away. Traffic on this road continued after dark and because of this, we did not feel safe.

The bathrooms were a mess. Only one shower was working and it was dirty.

We visited the two arkansas post musuems near the camp site. One was a federal park and one was a state park. You are very close to dam 2 on the Arkansas River that you can drive to and watch people fishing. Really good time.
