Host was very helpful. She was able to get me my Senior America The Beautiful Pass when the office down the road was closed.
Stayed in loop B with a 2511S and F150, most entrances are 90 degrees and just a bit narrow in that loop. Larger units are probably best on the blacktop sites.
Clean showers but dated. Cleaning people were there during my stay.
Recommend taking a few hours and driving to Arkansas Post National Memorial. Check visitor center hours but outside paths and information are worth it if visitor center is closed.
Rangers come through for checks.
Secluded so bring supplies for your stay.

Nice campground, section D is best for RV's has covered tables and slightly nicer sites. Very quiet, low use during our visit in January though I suspect it is busy during fishing season.
