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.

I wish the parents would watch their kids on the playground. I had to get in to several kids for throwing rocks and hitting the smaller kids or blocking them from playing in the equipment.

All of the bathrooms were nasty! Never cleaned during our entire stay. One of the showers stayed on for two days straight, never shut off even though they are automatic showers. The host are nice but it will be a long time before we go back.
