This was the best place we've stayed so far. But we had a bad location. Lots of any hills around the picnic table.

Would’ve been excellent but the plastic trash cans are horrendous! Whoever thought it was a good idea to put plastic trash cans with lids you can’t securely fasten in a place full of raccoon’s and stray cats needs to be the one picking up the trash everyday.

What a beautiful campground. Very clean, large sites, always clean restrooms and showers. The only issue was cell service, being that hidden in a canyon leads to a lack of cell service.

It was very nice and well maintained. There was so much space for our 2 tents. I did wake up in the middle of the night to a raccoon in the back of the truck but it was very cute and didnt do any damage. It was an easy walk to the bathrooms from where we stayed and the scenery was gorgeous. All the employees were so nice and helpful. I would definitely camp here again.

Delightful camping along the little Red River. Visited the trout hatchery along with the city of Heber Springs nearby.
