Always a great stay at JFK. Power blinked a few times which hasn’t happened to us in D loop before and it was only March but it stayed on.

The park was nice but the COE decided to lay all new asphalt during spring break. The place was a mess with trucks everywhere.

I’ve stayed at C10 several times. All of the camp sites have been redone. My site was so level all I had to do was park my camper. The bathrooms have been redone as well. Beautiful!! The only reason I took a star was because of my neighbor. Had his very bright lights on all night. I think you are allowed a night light but lighting it up like it’s Christmas? Shouldn’t someone say something to campers? I came out to get away from the bright lights.

We were so excited to obtain a camping site at this ultra beautiful & popular campground. The world renowned Little Red River bubbled & flowed below providing a fresh clean steady stream of air throughout our camp. I would have to say the one negative thing about it was the fact that die hard trout fishermen were arriving before dawn, slamming truck doors, and traipsing through our campsite to gain river access. It would be nice if another route for these fishermen could be provided.
