Great site close to bathhouse and could see the lake from our site. The site wasn't super level. We noticed many sites in our loop were very unlevel, so be prepared. Shower heads shot the water right over the curb into the dressing area. This would be easy to correct with different shower heads, so don't know why it isn't. Overall, a nice place with some minor quirks.

Stayed at spot 28B.
Very nice park. Clean and beautiful. Close to Hot Springs so a quick trip into town was enjoyable. Renting a pontoon boat is a must. We were there in October and the weather was perfect. We had the lake to ourselves. Lake is beautiful from the water. Must see.

There were no vacancies at hot springs state park. Were first timers. We passed this one going in. We couldn't get good signal and do the reservation online it kept kicking us back so I got quiet frustrated. But when we got there the camp host (Roy I believe) said yeah we get that a lot go on in there and take this tag and find u a spot and some signal and reserve it and come baxk up or well be around to bring u a confirm tag. Later. Very friendly very understanding it was way before 3 pm.
We found the perfect spot for us and our little aussie dog. Bathrooms were clean and had good hot water. We explored around the cove found a little creek with some water still in it. The water was several feet low so we found a spot to walk down to the rocky shore skip rock and let our service dog do her jump swimming/pull in training. . She was still in a life jacket and leash. Water was a bit chilly but felt amazing
Views were great. The drop off because of the marina and the boat dock was pretty close to shore and pretty deep but u could pull ur boat up into the cove.. the swimming area was kinda muddy from the low water levels. And dogs can't swim over there anyway. So we made our own way
The tree coverage was amazing. We stayed cool and comfy the couple night we were there. We didn't make it down to the marina. But overall if we want a nice little quiet cove on the lake we'll pick this spot. It def hit our needs for the stay and might have stayed longer but we had another destination. Wasn't that far into hot springs. Lovely little camp ground. Everyone was SUPER friendly and loved our little fur baby.
