We're glad we went!! Out of the way camp right on the banks of the Arkansas River. Driving part of the last leg of the road across the top of a levy is a first for me. But the trip was well worth it. This was our first RV outing in our new travel trailer. We were impressed that the spaces weren't spaced too close and we had more than enough room.
