We spent 5 nights at JFK. Everything about the campground was great. The campground is right next to the Little Red River. Quite a few campsites are on the river. The campsites are spacious. Each site has its own trash cans, which is so convenient. If you’re a trout fisherman this is your spot. The river is accessible right from the campground and it is stocked with trout. Don’t miss the train museum in Heber Springs. They have an amazing collection of model trains. The owner has trains his father passed on to him, one set is over 100 years old. He has built multiple train layouts throughout the building. One layout accommodates 18 operators at once. This is a must see. For restaurants Peggy Sue’s has breakfast and lunch, Angie’s Hideaway for any meal, and Mack’s Fish House for catfish and steaks. Can’t go wrong with any of the three. I highly recommend JFK campground.
