Stayed at the lodge. Amber and crew have done a lot of improvements over the last few years since the last caretaker left. Very friendly and helpful bunch running the place.

This is a quiet, beautiful place.
Ran very professionally with all needed essentials there, they even have a wonderful pizza oven and will deliver a whole hot pizza to your door after a day of hiking or whatever activities you enjoy.

What a peaceful experience. Well maintained, staff are super friendly, very quiet and sits at the top of the mountain. They have well maintained toilets and the campsites are far enough apart for privacy. If you’re planning a trip in the middle of a cold front or rain you may consider not picking the campsites four through six, those are right on the edge and can be very windy and exposed to the elements, consider picking the spots on the backside which are number 1 through 3 I believe. The park headquarters office can supply firewood so don’t bring sand to the beach! You can make the trip in a car but best to bring an suv. Portions of the road to the park are rough but not impassable for a car. Keep in mind that this park is rather remote, it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get to from interstate 40. And that’s only about a 15 mile drive to give you an idea. Also know that because this is a park the weather can change and is unpredictable, at times there may be fallen trees on the road where they have to shut the road down, May seem inconveniencing but keep in mind it’s the wild so be nice to the forest workers working hard. Bring your patience and your problems and leave with a good attitude and feel rested. Get a good hike because there’s plenty to see and make sure you bring plenty in water. If you need gas or minor groceries the small town of Birdville is about 30 minute drive, it’s closer than going back to Alma where there is a Walmart. But he wants to go to Walmart after being in the wild. Pack it in and don’t leave until you’re ready to leave for good. Plan ahead make sure you have everything that you need, but be sure to take A stroll through the park store that has basic items that you may need in a few park souvenirs and park maps of the Ozarks. First time visitor and it is so beautiful. I’m from Texas and Arkansas is my neighbor, the people are just so friendly in the south. Happy to call them my neighbors.

Very nice cabin and the hosts were great. I think that it would be best if we had stayed there in the spring or fall because it was cold and the wind did blow. Hiking was great, we went to rattlesnake waterfall and hiked the rim and the OHT. Got a lot of good pictures.

The campground and location atop the mountain are spectacular, but primitive. Unfortunately for me it rained all day One day so there wasn’t much to do. The other day was a great day for hiking one of the many trails near the campground with great views of the Ozark mountains. Only one negative about the campsite I was at was that the ground turned very muddy because of the rain. Some gravel on the site would be nice.
