It was a great park. We camped there in June, and the experience was very good. The campground has many camping spots, along with bathhouses, water, and electricity hookups. It also offers a good Wi-Fi connection in most areas.
Due to the busy summer weekends, the bathhouses were a little dirty, but overall the campground was well maintained. There were clear signs throughout the campground, making it easy to find our spot.
What I liked most about this campground was that the campsites were spacious, providing more comfort.

We've been twice. It's a beautiful place. Very rocky terrain. Come prepared with shoes that have a good grip and ankle support. Absolutely stunning after a good rain. Lots of places for kids to climb and caves to explore. Only downside is the all of the water, including the lake, is contaminated by pasture run off and swimming is strictly forbidden. Museum of Automobiles is an awesome place to see even if you're not into cars. Bring your change because all of the very old arcade games still work.

The park is stunning! Amazing views all around. The lodge and restaurant is nice too with the same amazing views. The visitor center is a gorgeous building with helpful staff. Decent amount of hikes to do. The campground looks super nice. We did the waterfall. The trail isn’t as bad as they say. Super busy on a nice Saturday. Service is iffy in some spots

Excellent place to visit even just for a quick day trip. Plenty of trails, short and long. Beautiful overlooks, just be careful of course as they are hundreds of feet tall at some points. Beautiful, clean, cozy, and relaxing. Brings your bicycles, walk, or however you want to get around. Mary Ann Richter overlook is nice, on clear days you can see Mt Nebo and Mt Magazine 50 miles away, the Arkansas River, and Petit Jean river. Plan on staying here longer next time!

The hike up and down to the fall is a fairly step incline at points. If you're in fairly good physical shape it shouldn't be a problem. The park is very dog friendly. The views are beautiful. Definitely worth coming to check out. There's a coffee shop pretty close to the park if you want a post hike treat.
