Great spot, great time! Relaxed with the kids. Hiked a little, made bamboo forts and skipped stones in the river. Perfect little relaxing trip and free from Wi-Fi.

This was our first time camping in Arkansas-so we were not sure what we would find. Five nights at Petit Jean, five nights at Buffalo Point and 2 nights at Beaver Dam Site. Our experience at all three places was excellent in every way. That said, Buffalo Point was "the place" for us. The facilities and the natural beauty were great. And kudos to the excellent staff at the Ranger Station! Mary and (the younger) Erica were first class.
We were at site #47 and my wife's parents were at #48-perfect for us. My wife and I hiked the Indian Rockhouse and Rush Creek trails-and the Campground Trail with the in-laws. The CGT was almost too much for my in-laws but they were so pleased to be able to do it. "Rockhouse" gets an A+. We had our inflatable kayak along and my wife and I kayaked from the put in place about 6 miles upstream, Spring Creak, back to our campsite. The Buffalo was sooo low which made the journey very difficult but the beauty of the river and the bluffs and all were "all world"...simply spectacular!
