We really enjoyed the park even though the weather wasn’t very good. The sites are spacious and we liked the lake view we had. We also visited Hot Springs National Park, which was a beautiful drive to it but disappointing as a NP.

Site 11 was close to the stage and pavilion. Great spot, excellent views, and the staff responded quickly when the bathroom needed attention.

The grounds are beautiful, clean, and the environment is quiet. Staff were not friendly when passing by. Not sure if I would come back due to being able to drive my side by side around the area because we were in a motorhome.

Beautiful park, clean and well kept. We were in site #11. For this site you will need 80 foot of rv water hose to connect to the nearest water connection.

Amazing bathroom facilities! Easily the cleanest I've ever been to while camping. The showers had great pressure and a good temperature. Park staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!
