Me and my wife took our anniversary trip and stayed 6 nights at the walk-in campsite. We had a very great experience. Clean restrooms and showers. We will definitely be returning.

We stayed in a group site we were able to reserve at the last minute so that we could wait out a storm. We were paddling about 90 mi of the beautiful Buffalo River and were glad for a safe place to stop without worry about how high the river might rise. We found the camp hosts to be friendly, the visitors center was excellent and the rangers very helpful. The only downside were the bathrooms not being as clean as hoped but that is likely due to the NPS personnel cuts. This looked like a great place to stay in the main campground too.

This is a really good campground. The camp hosts are great and keep everything clean, the bathrooms are nice and the showers work. The only minor issue is that you can hear the highway somewhat from the campground.

Very nice campground the main loop campsites are mostly open not much vegetation around sites. The campground was clean and areas through out were mowed and well maintained. The park and walk in sites are a little more private and have a restroom convenient to camp sites. There is a canoe, kayak launch that is easily accessible on a nice gravel bar which is a good place to swim. There is a wonderful visitor center with many displays depicting the history of the National Park as well as the plants and animals that inhibit the area. If you're camping in the main loop be aware the men's restroom was pretty much nasty the whole time we were there and I'm not sure the showers were throughly cleaned at all. There was melted soap bars and hair in showers for days at a time very nasty I must say. I can not comment on restrooms in walk-in or group camping area I didn't use them. I'm not sure if the National Park employees or Host are cleaning the main loop restroom but there needs to be a change.

Clean, Beautiful site with all the amenities that you need except for an electrical hookup at the tent sites. Nothing a solar battery can't solve though!

The park is beautiful, well groomed, easy to access and the campground is much larger and spread out than the perception of the online map. The sites are well separated with large sites. I felt the areas around some of the tables could use trimming as mine had a considerable amount of long grasses and weeks in it, but the surrounding areas were well cut and groomed. Maybe they just hadn't gotten to it. As stated, the campground is big. Showers were good and water was warm, but wish the showers could have offered more privacy, but, cannot see how much could be done with that by the way the building is designed. Hiking trails and such were well maintained and marked. Parking was ample. Ranger station was well managed and rangers responsive to our needs and questions. Camp hosts were very nice.
