The reefs are my wife's and mine favorite get away spot. We come to the Reefs about five times a year. Wonderful to hear the owls. See a bad eagle swooping down the river. Watch an otter family swim down the river. The only bad spot is the fishing is non existent.

Park could be very nice if it was maintained. Not enough cell service to look up anything on your phone, sometimes text send/receive sometimes they don’t. The grass hadn’t been mowed all year(as of 5-16-22). Nice quiet park though.

We have been camping here for over 35 years and this is beyond doubt our favorite park. Small and quiet, family oriented and very relaxing.

We stayed in site #25 in our 35 ft travel trailer 4 nights and loved it. It would have been better if the new restrooms had been installed but the COE continues to drag their feet on this project. The water release from Gillham Lake was great which made our trip very relaxing watching and listening to the river. A pair of bald eagles, great blue herons, crows, squirrels and so many birds made the trip even better. The weather was perfect with cool nights and breeze filled days. The park staff and security were great. Verizon coverage was excellent for phone and texts. Campsites were clean and they mowed the grass while we were there. We were there during the week and only a few campers but the weekend was to be full as usual. Excellent kayaking while the river was flowing. The water pressure and 30/50 power was great. A sewer dump needs to be closer than the entrance which is one mile from the campsites. There is not a bad site in which to park an RV but some are longer than others so make sure the one you choose is of sufficient length. Each camp site has what looks like a fairly new tables, firepits and grills. This is a great place to camp but be sure to bring what you need. An EZ Mart is in Gillham and Wal-Mart in De Queen about 10 miles away. When the river is down the rocks are great but be careful as they may be slick.
