I stayed here twice for a night while on a cross-country trip. The sites were paved and level. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen in a campground. The shower was hot and had good water flow. My only complaint is that there was a possible problem with the electrical posts. When I plugged my surge protector into the 30 amp outlet, it indicated an open ground condition. I tested several other electrical posts and they all had the same problem. Other than that, I had a great experience and would highly recommend Rising Star Campground.

Nice Campground next to the Arkansas river. All sites are back in. Careful with loop c, as It dead ends after the last campsite and there is no turn around.

This is a great little campground. Most of their camp spots are on the water, they have electric, water, covered picnic tables and fire pits. Even fish cleaning tables. 1 bathhouse building, but 4 bathrooms each with toilet, sink, shower and bench.
