Aux Arc

This is a great state park alongside the Arkansas River. The RV sites have lots of room and are well maintained.

You know you're staying in an unkempt campsite, when the people parked across from you went home and got a lawnmower to mow the grass in their area! When we first pulled into the campgrounds, it seemed ok... but the further we got down to the end (which is near where we were in #5) the worse the grounds got. The bathrooms were gross. Not sure who they have running the place, but they need to hire someone else for the job. We won't be back.

Amazing Stay loved it !!!

This would have been a 4 to 5 star rating,
BUT.....

Here's the good:
Beautiful location on the banks of the Arkansas River. Lots of trees throughout the park, amazing view, lots of birds of different types....
Wonderful setting! Loved it!!!
Well maintained & laid out sites, not packed too tight together . Bathrooms & showers clean and functional.
The park was not crowded at all in late January - only a few other campers. No raucous or rambunctious behavior.
The town of Ozark was very close - easy to get needed supplies (grocery store& Walmart)

On our first two days (Sat & Sun) the park was peaceful and serene...... Near perfect!!!!!

Now the Bad.....
- It got cold, real cold, over night, and the water supply was frozen each morning. It did thaw out by Noon to 1 pm. Not a Huge problem, easy to cope with, and staff offered to help us find a site where the water didn't freeze.
- Starting on Monday, there was this constant, 24 hour, vibrating, thrumming, throbbing droning sound coming from the Butterball Turkey plant up the river.
Completely destroyed the peaceful serenity of the park....
Very bothersome & inescapable.
Instead of staying for 2 weeks as we'd planned, we took off for elsewhere Tues AM.
It really ruined our experience

peaceful and on the river, mostly pine-shaded areas with plenty of space and separation for camping. Pine needles and grass on the ground, vs. dust/dirt and very clean, offers a nice departure of other campgrounds. Close to the town of Ozark with breweries, live music, shopping and a bit of history.

Excellent!

Shade trees and level spots and not far from town.

We had a wonderful stay here. There were only one other r.v. in the area we were so it was extremely quiet. The bathroom and showers were very clean. And the park host was super friendly. Would definitely recommend this place when in the area.

Well maintained and very clean. Staff was very nice. We'd highly recommend park. Lots of bird watching and barge watching as they go through the lock.

Worst campsite ever!! People just park their cars and walk through your spot to get to the river to fish. They are not even staying here just coming to fish. You ask them to walk around and use the bridge they don’t. Caught a group of them yesterday walking in my mat right outside my door. My husband actually got into an altercation with one yesterday because he was walking past right by our chairs. We have called the police (they have done nothing), we called the park ranger (he could care less)… I will never come back here!! Worst campsite I have ever been to!
