JFK is a beautiful park. The sites have lots of room between them. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were excellent. We were at site D14 which was a short walk down to the Little Red. We limited out on rainbows almost every time we went fishing. I will be back.

The JFK Camp Host, Cindy, is very helpful and friendly. The JFK site is beautiful, very clean and well kept. It is conveniently located close enough to Heber Springs that if you need something from the store it is easily accessible. The hiking trails nearby are great.
