Very nice quiet campground along the Arkansas River. Some signage at the heads of the loops would help. Lots of space, good hookups, although it wasn't clear on the electric that we needed to flip both breakers to get correct 30 amp service. My only real complaint is that the ladies shower was clearly installed by a man.....I am an average sized woman and the non adjustable shower hit me square in the jaw. Any shorter and it would have been my face. Please try to take this into account when redoing the bath houses. We were just in and out for a night, but we enjoyed the quiet space.

This is an older campground, but was perfect for the one night we needed.
