What Guests Are Saying
Old Post Road campground offers spacious, quiet, and shaded sites, making it an excellent choice for a relaxing retreat. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location provides easy access to nearby shops and scenic views, especially for bird watchers. However, some areas could benefit from better maintenance, particularly regarding the lawn and bathroom cleanliness.

This is one of our favorite COE parks. Host always helpful, grass mowed, bath house clean. What more -- oh yeah, the view of the barges going up and down the Arkansas River and going thru the lock & dam. Sunsets ....

Enjoyed the view of the river from the campground. Lots of space between each campsite. Nice little awning over the picnic table on some sites. Boat ramp at the campground. and we enjoy the water hookup and 50 amp.

Pros: Barges passing by on the river were fun to watch! Cons: Sites were smaller than expected for a COE, noise and smell from the nearby paper factory, rude neighbors kept lights on all night, and walked through our site up and down the river. There is a very busy day-use area adjacent to the park. It was nice to see so many local community members using the outdoors; however, it detracted from the peaceful camping atmosphere. The worst part of the experience is that there was a homeless couple who were allowed to move from site to site during our stay and ended up near us twice. She approached us twice, asking for our labor to help her move to their next campsite. She had a black eye and stated she was a victim of domestic violence, but had no choice because she insisted on keeping her two "service dogs" with her. Unfortunately, knowing about service dogs meant that those off-leash, constantly barking dogs were not actually trained service dogs. She also left them unattended on several occasions, and they barked nonstop. Service animals do not leave their patients and do not bark incessantly. They also took over a large log pile in the forest behind some campsites and chased other campers away. They were at that log pile after midnight with multiple vehicles and had it completely lit up. We have no idea what they were doing, but it didn't seem above board. Overall, this was the worst COE experience we've had yet. We were scheduled to stay for 14 nights and left after six nights.

Very well maintained with excellent volunteers. A storm came up one night and the volunteers knocked on our door to alert us that the tornado sirens were on and we might want to take shelter at the shower building. That was much appreciated! The park was quiet and we had a good view of the river. Starlink worked on our site.
