This is by far the best "full service" campground I have ever been to. Each site has water and electric. There is one dump-station in the campground.
Many of the campsites are right on the river, and those that aren't are a short walk. The fishing was fantastic, and Dry Run Creek was a blast for by under-16 angler. If you are not familiar with Dry Run Creek, it is catch and release and for anglers under 16 only. Monster trout.
Floating/wading the river - We only waded the river when there was no hydro generation going. We did very well near the boat ramp and also in front of campsite 19. We floated the entire length of the NorthFork in sit on top kayaks as well as a Colorado XT fishing pontoon. We did this at zero generation with minimum bottom drag, and again with two generators running. Two generators ran swift but easy to navigate. It took 1.5 hours at two.
Restrooms - Excellent! - I have never seen this sort of restroom set up. All restrooms are male/female but private. Each exterior door in a 4 to 6 toilet building leads to a heated and cooled private restroom with shower, sink, toilet, bench, and mirror. If they had one more of these restroom buildings it would be perfect; not because they were always full, but because of the walk to get to them in some situations.
Hatchery - there is a hatchery directly across the road that is a must see. It closes at 3:30 so hit this first and then walk down to Cry Run Creek.
Nearby you can have an awesome breakfast at "Norfork Cafe", and later have a great lunch at "Heidi's Ugly Cakes and Sandwiches". We actually bought one of Heidi's award winning "Holy Cow " Cakes for my dad's birthday while we where there. WOW!
The nearest town to get supplies at "regular prices is Mountain Home 13 miles away. They will have all the major big box stores and restaurants.
Calico Rock has a free museum which we found very worth while, with many of the exhibits hands-on. Stop by the ice cream shop next door if you go
