Nice large sites next to the river. Great, friendly, and super helpful campground hosts. Stayed here for one night on the way through, but was very happy with it.

Very nice campground with well maintained sites. Right on the Arkansas River where you can see an occasional barge go by. Lot's of geese, ducks, and many other birds present. Basically no TMobile cell signal. Great little campground and we will go back.

Nice small park along the river. Spots vary in length so check your rv for fit. New bathroom shower house. Great area to camp. Will camp here again when we are in the area.
