Arkansas River - Chouteau Lock and Dam

My stay included a 1 night reservation by myself and a 3 day stay booked by a friend in the same camp spot. The COE decided in the middle of our stay that they were going to "close" the park 1 day early this year. I put "close" in quotation marks because all they do is tell you that you cant camp there. If you call and ask why they will tell you they dont have staff to keep the park open. Funny thing is that the camp host is there year round and the boat ramp is open year round. The COE also states that they will come and ticket you if you camp anyways. So basically they can keep the camp host there, keep the boat ramp open, and patrol the park and ticket you, but somehow they "dont have the staff" to keep the park open. The fact that the COE thinks they have the right to stop primitive camping on public campgrounds is absolutely absurd.

We loved our visit. Everything was perfect, beautiful weather and nice quiet. We walked around a bit and it was great, very friendly people. We love camping here. I highly recommend camping here.

Staying at this campground was very peaceful and quiet. Family was able to get away and relax.

No issues. Nice place with not a lot of people

The personnel are always pleasant and accommodating. Jack is a treasure.

The facility was very good and clean. People were friendly. I like the docs had a great time. Thank you very much.
