This is one of the nicest state parks anywhere. The sites are wonderful. The lake is beautiful and there is lots to do. We have been back several times because it is fantastic! Close to Hot Springs, yet it feels like you are far away. Peaceful and well maintained. The employees are all top notch.

BK Butts barbecue in Royal was outstanding!
You just order at window or call ahead and pick up. Covid has put so many restrictions and fears on us. This restaurant has awesome pies and desserts too. Campground we love and have been coming here for 30 years!
