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.

Nice place, but online camping map shows showers not in correct spots. Reservations made fire end of D loop no close restrooms. Ten minutes walk to closest bathroom not really good information on Web.

We love this park and go as often as possible. They have really done a good job repairing this park after the flood, however I’m surprised they tore down and did not rebuild the bath house at the far end of the park.

j\We camped here in mid-April which meant no on site personnel, but our reserved campsite was easy to find. The lawn mowing guy was on duty and making the entire area look immaculate. It looked like an English manor ground, very formal park-like.
Pro: beautiful area on the banks of the Arkansas River. Price: cheap to begin with and my National Park senior pass cut the already low cost by 50%.
Con: Water and Electric only and the dump station water was turned off, so unable to wash out black tank or drain hose. I don't know if it is a regular occurrence but a tug pushing 15-20 barges stopped directly across from the campground at 9:00 a.m. and was still there, diesel engine running the entire time, when we left the next morning. That completely destroyed the beautiful solitude and quiet of the place. It wasn't the park's fault but it was totally discombobulating all the same.
