Beautiful views from the nearby vista. We were on site 7. The trees were real close to the parking site making it difficult for set up with camper slides. Clean park with a lot of larger sites. This site would be better suited for a smaller trailer. I would visit this park again, but would book a diferent site with more clearance.

Campsites are packed in fairly close. Luckily our neighbors were friendly and did not make noise.

Easy to get into with our 42ft fifth wheel. However, it was difficult to back into our site (#40) because the road was narrow and we had nowhere to pull forward. But we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Beautiful scenery on Lake Ouachita. Lots of boat traffic. We spent a day in Little Rock and two days in Hot Springs. Also went to a horse race at Oaklawn. Great location!

We come once a year to fish. Location is perfect. The camp ground is always clean. We will come back again next year.

No one was there to help us find our site. It was Saturday. We tried to call several times. No one would answer. We waited at the entrance for quite a while. None of the hosts came out of their campers to help us. There was no welcome packet with at least a map of where the campsite was. We came in backwards and had a time setting up. The site was incredibly unlevel. We saw other campers struggling to find their site and get level as well. It’s very tight and not big rig friendly. Not the best maintained we’ve seen of our COE experiences. We never met or was greeted by a host. We did have a ranger knocking on our door the next day after a 12 hour travel day waking us up wanting us to fill out a paper for our handicap cart. We WERE in the handicap site and had ZERO privacy. You cannot get to the dump station from site 22 with a large rig. You have to go around and we almost tipped over. This has been my least favorite COE we’ve visited. However- Hot Springs is not far away and it’s a phenomenal place to visit. We absolutely LOVED the area. Just not this campground. Also highly recommend the bbq and Mexican restaurants right outside the campground. Some of the best we’ve ever had.

We had a great time for our first campout with our own camper. The playground was great, had a setup for young kids and one for older! All around we had a great experience!
