Host very nice. Campground well maintained. Only problem was May Fly time of year and they were swarming in day time.. just mother nature in May. Love the covered picnic areas on each spot.

Most sites are level, well spaced out from each other, and all have a great view of the AR River. Electric is very good. We had some bad storms come thru and I was concerned we might lose power, but everything stayed on. Bathrooms were clean, nice.
Host was nice, friendly.
Not a lot to do here but relax and fish if you want them. But isn't camping exactly that: relax, read a book, fish. The camping triathlon!

This is a great little COE park. We stayed one night at one of the waterfront spots. Lots of space and grassy areas between spaces and lots of open space in general. Great deal when you also have an America the Beautiful Pass. I highly recommend.
