We had a quiet stay on a Sunday evening. Ranger was pleasant, facilities were clean. Our family of 6 stayed the night in tents, then drove to Sam’s Throne in the morning.

Visitor Center worker Anita was patient with me and worked above and beyond to help me figure out the confusing reservation situation the weekend of the Dark Skies and Higland Ozark Society meetings.

Tyler Bend holds a special place in our family's heart. And this was our first time to stay at the beginning of turning of the leaves. Much restoration occurred on this trip, and we can't wait to get back.

Cancellation policy is terrible. We didn’t use the site. But since we couldn’t get any part of the payment back we didn’t cancel. There for nobody could use the site. If someone wants to cancel then give them back something in hope that someone else would book it. Open those days up for longer campers.
