The campground was clean but the grass needed cutting badly. Sites are close but it is quite. Fishing on the Arkansas river was good too

Cherokee Park was well maintained and we were fortunate enough to get a site right on the river. We were there for the solar eclipse. We had a 50 amp hookup and water. The river was busy with boats and barges. Park has a dump site which was also well maintained. The park does have a day use area and playground, lots of people were fishing. Be mindful that most GPS directions will take your route under a railroad trestle (approx 13 ft.) , our class A would not fit, however there is a route through 1st street that takes you to a drive over railroad crossing.
I would recommend staying here, its great camping by the river.

Beautiful park with friendly host. We love to gravel bike and there are a lot of miles of gravel roads all over this area. Beautiful agriculture all along the Arkansas river from the park.
