I absolutely love it here, it's so peaceful and relaxing. The grounds are kept very clean, and it's dog friendly which is aist for me. The public restrooms and exceptionally clean, and they have showers on them. 10 out of 10 for sure!

A great place to camp. Along the White river with bpats available to rent at the park marina. Fishing for trout was great. Make your reservation early, they book up!!

This is one of my favorites. Fishing from the water, on boat or land. The bathrooms are clean and nicer than most. There is a cute playground, you can see deer in the feild and there are a couple hiking trails. The beauty of the white river is calming and peaceful.

Great campground. Very clean and staff was great. A few of the sites are right on the river. Bait shop and small store with supplies are within the campground. Arkansas does not have a fee to enter parks and is very reasonable on campsite fees.

Probably the nicest campground I have stayed at. Very well maintained. Had an issue with a guy that parked his boat in the road causing us to scrape a tree going around it. Called the park and a Ranger was on it in like 3 minutes. Several Ranger patrols during the day and night. Very clean area. Staff was over the top friendly and accommodating. Quiet time is quiet time. We will definitely put this on our future getaway trips and recommend kayaking down the White River. A little bit of steering and very little paddling was needed. Water was super clear. Jumped over to Bull Shoals Lake for a day of boating, swimming and fishing. One of the Top vacations we have had.
