Aux Arc

This was a great weekend trip! The sites were great and the bathrooms were super clean! I would say mowing needs to be done! Everytime I’m there the grass is high!

First off, we love this park!! It is so clean, and the pads are always cleaned off. The bathrooms are always clean and have tissue.
But,in the few times we have stayed her, for sometimes a week at a time, we have never seen or heard a lawnmower. The grass isn't knee high, but it needs mowed!
And why is no one hardly
in the gate house?
And why can the gatehouse not make any changes. Covid is over!!

I'll be honest, when we first arrived, I was less than thrilled about this campsite, but if you give it a little time and do some exploring here, you will quickly love it.

Our spot was C-05, which has ZERO shade and we were here during a heatwave, so that added to my disappointment at first. C-05 is located on the "fishing" side of the campground. When we arrived for check-in, we drove up to the guard shack and saw beautiful campsites with big shaded lots, covered picnic tables, and lantern posts. The "fishing" side doesn't have any of those amenities.

But the "fishing" side has AMAZING trails that go down to the water. And it's BEAUTIFUL down there. There's a bridge that takes you over a creek to the rocks by the dam, or you can walk down the rocks (carefully!) to the creek.

Also, while we were at Aux Arc, I had an accident and broke my ankle coming out of our RV. My husband had gone fishing and had no cell service (he was hours away). The volunteers at the camp were wonderful. They called 911 and stayed with me until the ambulance arrived. They also came to check in on me after I came back from the hospital and my eventual surgery.

If you're looking for a quiet place to fish or relax, this is it. Just pick a spot with more shade. :)

This beautiful park on the banks of the Arkansas is my favorite of all the Federal campgrounds. It is close the a small, charming little town of Ozark, Arkansas.
There are not any full hookups, so bring your honey wagon if camping the full two weeks allowed.

Very courteous and helpful staff... Nice campgrounds and we'll maintained. Will definitely stay here again.

The park is older but so beautiful and the ppl were so helpful. Especially Richard the attendant. We had a hydraulic problem and he went out of his way to help us. We will always stay in the ACOE parks as long as they are available. Most affordable & beautiful. It’s the kind of place you would buy yourself.

Had a great time, everything was clean and taken care of, will come back again

Would’ve gotten 4 stars but the yard work needs attention. Our site had grass and weeds up to our knees. Very frustrating.

Absolutely love watching the tugs and the barges….

Staff always ready to help & are very nice.
