This is our favorite spot in Arkansas! Always difficult to get a reservation here on short notice. Very clean, well-maintained park with trout fishermen everywhere!

Our site, C10, was absolutely fantastic! First time I’ve never had to level right to left. It was also a culdesac spot and there was no driveby traffic either. Bathrooms were typically clean as the Corp parks are, no complaints there. The site was nice in all aspects, nice and level, fire pit was clean and a beautiful stream behind it. 5 stars, love the Corp parks no matter where we are.

The reason I rated our visit fair had nothing to do with the park,usually I would rate our visit excellent but for our 10 day stay which was originally planned for 14 days the weather put a damper on our stay, rain and more rain, one hail storms and the river running 24/7, don’t mean to sound like I’m complaining but there is just so much relaxing I can handle.
Normally we have a wonderful time there, I consider it my second home.

I would rate it excellent was there Wifi. I am an accountant and still working. I'd stayed an entire month if Wifi had been available. My only complaint. Besides the Wifi, JFK is my favorite campground. Love it
