We had a great time at JFK Campground! Our reason for going was to fly fish on the Little Red River, and we did! I caught my first ever trout on a fly rod and had the best time! The area was clean, bathrooms were convenient. We had a great and we are going back next weekend!

Spacious and well designed campsites. Enjoyed our week camping, fishing and hiking. Weather was awesome. Never give five star rating to sites without full hookups so this one falls into that group. Used my gray water tote to make staying the week easier. Will plan return trip when opportunity presents.

A beautiful campground that I've visited before but never as the leaves changed color. It was spectacular.
