I wish I could give this place ten stars! A beautiful location with fascinating geology. We have camped in many locations and this is by far our favorite. This time we brought a group and everyone enjoyed the peaceful camp spot, lovely river, and awe-inspiring caverns. Our only wish would be hot showers but definitely manageable for a short stay.

The new grills and fire rings in the group site were a nice touch. This group site is my favorite car camping destination in Arkansas and will continue to return every year. Beautiful and peaceful!

Lots of shade. Next to where many people try to park in your area to view the large rock wall.

The facilities were clean. The Staff was extremely helpful and Friendly. We were at Blanchard Springs for my daughter’s wedding. The ceremony was in front of the cave and cliffs behind GS1. When we started making plans several months ago. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. On the day of the ceremony the staff stopped by several times to see if we needed anything, this was in addition to them having to perform their other duties. The grounds were well kept and maintained. We will be back!

The campground is in rough shape, at $35.00 per night you would expect to find at least one grill that wasn't falling apart.

We.ve been coming here as a group of friends for 30 years. Hope to continue many more as we love Blanchard and love the campground. Wonderful for kids and adults.
