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.

Everything was great as far as our stay. Will definitely stay here again if in the area. The camp hosts and rangers were all very friendly. The camp host suggested some restaurants and they were very good. Thank you for the hospitality.

Very quiet, off the beaten path, tidy with level and large campsites. Many sites could hold the largest of campers. We were at C3, directly on the river, our camper is 30 ft with our truck, we fit. Our stay was off season, at the first of March 2022. Bathrooms were up to date and clean. We enjoyed the tug boat activity that was 50 yards from our campsite. Stores and gas were 12 miles away, in Dumas. We had cell service, 2 bars worth.

Very nice COE location. The host was really helpful and made check in a breeze.
The only to negatives for this location were:
1. Restrooms were not very clean. It appeared that the lady cleaning only ran the mop over he floor, no sweeping etc.
2. This issue is out of the ACOE hands. On the day we were leaving the business up the street (do not remember you they are) used all the water for some process that they do leaving the camp are without water, really stupid!
I would still highly recommend this place to everyone.

Site was level. Great view on the river. There was a table to set our tailgater on, and we had great satellite TV service. AT&T cell service was not good. Overall, enjoyed our stay and will come back next time passing through.

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.
