Bathhouse is cold. Shower water could be hotter. Mens bathroom sink wasn’t working. Other than the complaints I mentioned it was a nice park. Oh you can forget about cell service if you have Verizon.

Very basic but nice. sites on a bluff overlooking the Arkansas River were private and windy. Not much to do at the campground. Restrooms were clean; hookups were adequate. No cell service or wi-if.

Nice park and view of the water. Couldn’t sit outside for the biting flies. Even my dog couldn’t enjoy relaxing outside. No access to the water, except one little bench next to the boat ramp. No trails.
