This our favorite place to camp. We usually stay in D section. The sites in D are very shaded. Some of the sites you can have a view of the Little Red River. You can get a cool breeze coming off it. There are multiple public accesses to the river. We like the fact it’s great for biking. Collins trail is an amazing hike, you walk along a stream that has multiple step waterfalls. You can not go wrong camping at JFK campground.

This is a great park. Our site was amazing. Husband fished. We saw baby beavers, foxes, deer, a momma duck and her 9 babies and so much more. We hiked Sugarloaf and also did some antiquing. We are already planning our next trip.

I am a "repeat-attender" to the JFK Park for many reasons, but not limited to the well-organized, neat, accommodating campsites and facilities, Along with all that there is all the gorgeous beauty of the Little Red River which also allows for some great trout fishing, kayaking, and such, and the opportunity to hike along the shady banks of Collins Creek to the series of waterfalls at its main water source which l believe is discharged from the nearby trout fish hatchery, which is also a must-see while visiting the JFK Park.
