This was a phenomenal camping experience. We camped at site "A" of the walk-in sites. It was not a long walk from the small parking area; easily accessed even in the dark by walking across a flat, open grassy field. The camp site itself was great, with a flat, level dedicated pad for the tent. The picnic table and fire ring were in good shape. The bathrooms were average for a campground; running water and well-lit. Overall, the entire campground was a hit for our family.

We used the group camp sites for our stay. It was perfect! There was plenty of space for tents, cooking & playing games on our site. The bathrooms were clean and easily accessible. We loved how close we were to the Buffalo River to sit by the water or to go swimming. It was a great weekend!

This campground was absolutely one of the best we've stayed at. We stayed on site #6 which was very secluded and quiet, but all sites are large and spread out. Park staff helpful and friendly. We walked to the river launch area two nights and sat there until sundown watching the wildlife. Very pleased. Will stay here again if ever in the area.

We camped at a group site. The giant fire pit was the most impressive. Something different than other campgrounds was that the park attendant nor park rangers came directly to our campsite. I found that kinda odd that they didn't make at least one visit during our 3 nights there. Enjoyed time with family under the stars and by the campfire.
