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.

My favorite campground especially in the summer. The cool water generation mitigates high summer temps.

JFK is one of my favorite campgrounds to visit because of how cool it stays down there compared to the other campgrounds in the area. One of the things that I would give a negative to is that the campground has been around for a LONG time, and it feel like some of them need to be updated to look new again. The bathrooms are outdated, but they are always clean.

Our campsite was very nice. The campground was very crowded with lots of other campers.

Busy time, high heat index, but the afternoon generation brought welcome cool water that fed a cool breeze and beautiful fog in the morning.

There was a restriction in effect limiting trout to two due to an issue but the restriction will be lifted after 6 months.
Kennedy is always a good camping experience.
