Nothing can beat sitting or standing in the cool air over the water of the Little Red River while fishing, or just relaxing. The deep green of the water, the layer of fog just above it, the verdant appearance of the river bluff all add to the picturesque setting. A real bonus is seeing the splendor of a bald eagle soaring over the river.
At JFK Park Campground, you will find clean, quiet and well-maintained campsites in a beautiful park setting. The bathhouses are well-maintained. Plenty of parking at and near the campsites. Access to the river bank is relatively easy at low water (low generation at the dam) times, but be prepared for slippery conditions. Some access points are also pretty steep. The Collins Creek trails are a bonus, and fishing in the creek is allowed for children under 16 years and one adult chaperone.

While we normally stay in section A for the cool breeze off the river, we stayed in section D this time on higher ground as a last(ish) minute trip and it was available the entire time. I think maybe since it’s the VERY last campsite (D18) and butts up to the woods there more room for critters. The 1st of 4 nights was AMAZING. The next 3, not so much as every night we were terrorized by a group of 3 massive raccoons and a tag along cat. Literally I think he thought they were all family. They opened our clasped closed with latches totes and were slapping our tent….all night long. I’m talking zero sleep because of those little trolls. Probably wouldn’t bother people in campers and I absolutely know they’re just nocturnal little bears living their best life, but id recommend staying in sections A-C. Still a great camp ground with nice enough facilities and would for sure go back!!
