The camp site is great, we enjoyed it very much. The camp is kept in great condition. The caretakers do an excellent job. We enjoy trout fishing and the swinging bridge was the hot spot for our trip this time.

Awesome, as usual! Quiet, 15 degrees cooler than on the lake side of the dam and good cell service in section D. Showers and restrooms were very clean. A favorite destination for my wife and I.

Great campground with plenty of hiking trails along a stream that feeds into the Little Red River. Beautiful scenery and great place to fish. Great for bird watching. Busy park on the weekend. We stayed during the week and it was quiet and peaceful. There is the Hatchery nearby. The town of Heber Springs is close to shop and has a variety of eateries. The Sugar Loaf Laundry is clean and coin operated. We would stay again.
