The park and staff are outstanding. Beware of Lonestar ticks. My husband was infected with Alpha-gal from a tick bite he got at this park.

We had a nice campsite directly across from the hatchery. We could hear the sounds of the river very good. Campsite was clean, dry and level. No water on our site, but the bathroom was 50 feet away and had a fountain and a tap for buckets. It was quiet that night with beautiful weather. The river was low at first but water was generated from the dam and it rose several feet, but not too high for fishing. We went on all the walking trails and up to Collins Creek waterfall. It was so peaceful because we were here early in the week. We always love coming here to JFK campground.

Overall the camping trip was good the only thing that bothered me the most was that they generated the whole time we were there and we're not able to do any fly fishing I recommend checking all generation schedules before you make reservations

We always love camping at JFK in Heber Springs. The campground is neat, clean, beautiful and enjoyable. The staff are always helpful, informed and excited to see you. This place has been an annual destination for our family for more than 25 years and now that it's just the wife and I we still look forward to spending time here each year. Excited to arrive and saddened to depart.
