Nice and peaceful, we loved the barges on the river. Don’t expect to get any over the air tv channels but if you have satellite your good.

Well this park was the first park I never saw anyone in the office. The bathroom need lots of work. No soap at all to wash your hands or anything to dry your hands. The showers need lots of cleaning. The dumpster were full to capacity the whole week we were there. The campsite are nice but it seems like no one takes care of them. It such a beautiful place just need people to run it.

Nice, quiet, peaceful campground with beautiful view of the river. Our back-in site was long and roomy. While there are no trails within the park, we enjoyed walking the loops. Well located for a quick trip to Little Rock. Bathhouse was clean. It was a bit disturbing that there was no one watching who was coming and going thru the entry gate and we did not see a camp host our entire 1-week stay.

Beautiful park! Quiet and right on the river. Camp sites were level and spacious with a good distance between sites.
