Aux Arc

Love this place!

Very friendly staff, clean bathrooms, good showers. Noise from the train and the dam were a bit loud at times, but it wasn't bad overnight. We saw quite a bit of poison ivy in the D loop campsites, but we ended up deciding to stay in F01 and didn't see poison ivy there. Would definitely stay again, it was convenient access to some rock climbing we were doing in the area, and it was easy to grab supplies in town as needed.

the weather was hot but we had a good site with good shade. the site was concrete and level.
we had a picnic table with a cover. we were close to the water with good views. there was a railroad track across the water but only heard the train a couple of times. the bathroom was close by and the shower was okay. the bathrooms could be cleaned better i saw spider webs all around the sinks, ceilings and walls.

It is a nice park older but nice. Our site was a little more sunny than we like but the view of the barges going through the lock was cool enough to offset that. We were there for the "Bargains Galore" yard sales weekend. The fishing is kind of subdued unless you bring a boat. The Walmart is small but you can get what you need, and there is a Harps grocery and a Dollar General, and plenty of eateries if you go that route. We will camp there again and try out different sites. All in all it was a quiet and enjoyable.

Occasionally will hear a train or a barge but it is a very nice place.

The grass needed mowing (a week ago)! The bathrooms are not well maintained. People ( not camping) are driving through the park at ALL hours, yet it is supposed to be closed after dark. It was just okay but I don’t think I would pay $60 to stay there again.

Nice place to spend a few days.

everything was very nice.

very nice camp ground and friendly camp hosts.very helpful in every way.

Overall, this was a nice campground. We chose the worst time of the year to go because of the unrelenting heat but that was on us. A few things to know: There is a train track immediately across the river from the campground. There is also a power plant next to the campground ON the river. Both of those things had a certain amount of noise associated with them. Had we ever been there, we would have chose our site more strategically placed to the two bathroom/shower houses at the campground but once again, that was on us. Hookups were placed well and functional and amenities were well placed and in good repair. The grass at the sites in the middle of the park was too high but seemed to have been cut recently at both the entrance and the very end. We had our dog and worried about walking him through the grass because of the unknown. had it been cut to a reasonable length, snakes and ticks and things would have been less likely. The only truly negative thing, however, was the presence of a capped syrette on the picnic table when we arrived. Should have been seen and disposed of by whomever checks on the sites post guest. Made us nervous about what we couldn't see in the taller grass. We stayed here on the way back home from a 40 night camping trip and it was conveniently located near our route home (I-40). We wouldn't hesitate to stay again if through there in the early spring or late fall. Be sure and check the park maps for the restroom locations if you are tent camping or, in our case, in a teardrop/expedition/hiker type trailer. It was a long walk to the facilities. It really is a nice park, there were just a few things we wished we had known before we booked it,
