This site has lots of trees for beauty and shade. The spaces are not too close to each other and there’s history there for those history buffs.

Beautiful site backed up to the Arkansas River just below the L&D. Site were spaced out nicely with a paved space for the trailer and a separate space for the truck. Water and electric at each site with a dump station by the boat ramp. We’d stay here again.

Arkansas, you didn't disappoint. Beautiful campgrounds. Clean bathrooms, large spots and the most friendly camp hosts ever. We will definitely go back sometime.

First the pros: Perfectly level site, easy access, paved spacious sites, lots of mature trees for shade. 50 amp with water (no sewer.) Sufficient Verizon signal for streaming from our jetpack. Not a lot of OTA channels, but sufficient for us since we're not huge tv watchers. Nice one mile paved walking / biking trail around the soccer field next to the campground. Close to shopping, there's a Walmart within a few miles. Also within a few miles of Bona Dea Trails and Wildlife Sanctuary -- beautiful paved trails for biking and walking. Cons: No check in procedure, no map provided. Our site was not cleaned after the previous campers -- we had candy wrappers, face masks, paper towels, two bars of soap littering our site. All in plain view, should have been cleaned up after checkout. Another con was the proximity to International Paper plant -- the humming noise goes 24 hours a day (not on weekends). Also there was a chemical smell that we can only assume was coming from that plant. Not overpowering, most noticeable when the wind "blew the right way". The restrooms and showers needed attention -- not horrible but not what we look for.

We appreciated the extra wide paved sites, the paved roads and the wide spacing between sites. It is a lovely location. Next time we would enjoy a water front site. The bike trails were extensive as well as the disc golf course.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Local regulations

  • Certain items and activities are prohibited on project lands without written permission from the District Commander.

Fires & fuel

  • Buy firewood locally and burn it on-site to protect forests from pests.
