My comment isn't just about the site, but about the campers around us. As we were backing into our site 7 we had a tire blow out on our 31 ft trailer, something we never experienced before and other than the spare we were unprepared to change it. Some camping neighbors were very nice and came to our aid with a jack and proper tools. We are very grateful to them, they saved our vacation. The site was clean and beautiful. We love fishing and kayaking the river, which are readily accessible. On a rainy day we went to Eureka Springs to explore the haunted hotel [Crescent Hotel] and enjoyed gourmet pizza at the Sky Bar. We've made going to Dam Site River an annual event and always look forward to going there.

Not all the bathrooms at Parker Bottoms were functional. We come every year and I’ve never had to wait to use the restroom until this year. Other than that, it was good!

We love this camping area at Parker Bottoms! It is usually very quiet, although there are at times those campers who are not as considerate of others. Leave the barking dogs at home and keep your music to yourself...pretty simple. The campsite itself was nice and level and easy to park and setup in. The facilities (bathrooms/showers) at this area were not as clean as before and are showing more wear this year. Beaver Lake Arkansas has been a favorite for our family for over 50 years.
