As usual JFK was amazing! I was a little disappointed in the bathroom near C for the first time it was not kept clean. I don’t usually see this the bathroom was out of toilet paper and floors dirty with hair and general garbage.

Enjoyed the park, trails and scenery. The hatchery was awesome as well! Sites and hook ups were some of the best we’ve seen. River wasn’t flowing much and fish weren’t biting but we had a great time anyway! Will definitely be back soon!

Trash pick up at each site assists in keeping the park clean. The park was quiet with plenty of wildlife and easy access to the Little Red River
