Very nice campground. I don't think there is a bad site there. Easy check in, water and electric hookups. Dump station available. The town of Ozark is a couple miles away.

Great site just down from lock and dam. Saw a few tug and barges go by. There is a train across the River but we didn’t find it bothersome. Camp hosts were right there with offer to help. Geese brought their hatchlings, cute yellow fuzz balls. We took a few trips around the area and found everyone to be friendly. A must is the oldest continuous running cafe in Arkansas.

One of the coolest sites we have camped. Judy and Richard the host are wonderful and caring. You should add this to one of the places to camp with family and dogs. Just wonderful, cheers.

Great place to watch the Tugs and barges go thru the locks. Park is clean and maintained, staff not so friendly, may have been a bad day

The park is beautiful and clean. Our only issue is that check in isn't mandatory. It was difficult to find anyone at the booth. Our family had two sites reserved months in advance. My brother got there on Thursday and someone was in his site. The guy told him that he was told that it was available even though my brother had the paperwork showing his reservation for that night. My brother took our site because we weren't scheduled until Friday. Before we got to the campground on Friday, another person's tried to claim our site starting that they were told to just pick any empty site. My brother showed a screenshot of our reservation and then parked his truck in the spot until we got there. We never checked in because we didn't find anyone at the booth two times during their business hours. I noticed that hardly anyone had checked in. Never had this issue at any other COE park.

While at AUX ARC campground, had a major storm come thru park with heavy rains and high winds that caused dead limbs to fall on hood of new Jeep Cherokee and
cause damage to my hood. Tried to report damage to Park Attendant who was not interested in taking time to take report of incident.,...... not a very happy camper

Wonderful peaceful place! We love the trains on the other side of the River and we enjoy the barges! The sites are spaced far apart and perfect! They just need to get sewer hook ups! Although we don’t mind the dump station!

We stayed in B4. I was glad that we stayed at that end because there were lots of sites in the middle that had so many people. We went for walks around the park and one site literally had 11 cars, 2 boats, and a camper. There were at least 25 people at the site. I felt sorry for the people that were staying around them. I like this campground, but the hosts don't seem to be willing or able to make people follow the rules. The sites on our end were really nice. They were level with lots of trees and were right on the water. We had a really nice view of the river. The sites from area F are newer, but have less shade and you can't get to the water easily. Their view is mainly of the dam. The train runs several times during the day and night, but it didn't bother us. We took some time and drove over to Mt. Magazine to do some hiking. The little town of Paris was really quaint. There's a winery there, Cowie Winery, that has some beautiful hanging bells and wine to try. There's also a monastery on the East side of Paris that has a brewery, which was unique. If you haven't been to A-Z shops near Alma, you should definitely visit those. Overall, a nice stay.
