Was great was only one other camper the whole time was there. Restrooms was not clean on Sunday when we got there, but on Monday they were cleaned and restocked. Liked that the restroom/showers were single private rooms. The campground and surrounding area was well maintained, The electrical hooks had a surprise there was a night light in the electrical box. Had to give it five stars will return again in the future.

We had thought to make this a one night stop, but soon realized that there was a lot more to this park. I started with an excellent camp host, add an amazing view of the river. I have not found better showers in private camp grounds. We ended up staying 3 nights. We will stay again if in that area.

We loved this campground! Tanya does a great job. The bathrooms are clean and private. The campsites are spacious & clean and the trees are beautiful. The Arkansas River and historical significance is humbing. Wish this campground was closer to our home so we could come here regularly.

The park is great. The lack of security was concerning. There were more locals using the restrooms and showers than campers on a regular basis, I can understand using the boat ramp and playground but locals coming on a daily basis to take showers is not acceptable since the campers will probably be blamed for using/stealing the toilet paper or leaving a mess or trash.
