Beautiful campgrounds, shady. Nasty speedbumps on the road going through and past the facility, but there are campsites both sides of that road, so can understand why. OTA tv reception is terrible on camp side of road, don't know about riverside, which is more open per the river. Cell phone reception was almost non-existent for us on Consumer Cellular, only week 4-G. Good for a night or two. Would stay again. The road in is quite rough due to heavy truck traffic at Riceland terminal, perhaps they should do something about that.

The grounds are well kept and everything is clean. The only issue is the bath house. The hot water only lasts about 30 seconds.

Campground has nice space between sites, and was very flat for parking or setting up tents. There is not much in the way of vegetation between sites so you have clear line of site to almost every site. Near Arkansas Post National Memorial and along the banks of the Arkansas River. Great campground for kids to ride their bikes/scooters, there is shady trees in most of the campground as well. I did think it was buggy, probably due to proximity to the water. Camp host was great - very friendly and welcoming!
