Site C6 at JFK was very nice. Collins Creek runs right behind the site, so we could hear the babbling brook all weekend. Clean restrooms, easy Red River access for fishing. Each site has a large trash can. Water & electric hooks ups, dump station on site.

It's nice there. They are asking 5 dollars for day use now. You are going to this place to bring your fishing poll. It's clean, and most sites are pretty big. Part of the park dont have water. There is an electric and dump station. 2 years later, it is still the same. No new improvements, but still nice. Still nice. All sites except A have water now.

We have stayed here several times on our Arkansas travels and it’s a great quiet campground along the tail waters of Greers Ferry Lake , Little Red River , lots of great fishing opportunities when the water levels are right to catch a lot of trout . Hatchery is also within the park and a nice place to visit . Eagles are regular visitors of the river so keep a look out . Facilities are clean and sites are as to be expected from a COE facility .

Family camping trip in a 21-ft. Camper. We had a nice, relaxing time. The campground is very nice, well-kept, with several hiking trails, a playground, and good fishing. JFK is one of our favorite spots. The little red river flows right beside it. It's ice cold, but so clear and pretty.

Located next to the Little Red River at the base of the JFK Memorial Dam, this park is a place for those seeking a quiet getaway in nature! Our family stays here multiple times a year and we love it! The campsite offers clean camping areas (RV & tent friendly), very clean restroom and shower facilities, and a wonderful view of nature! I would advise getting a site closer to the river during the hot summer months because the Little Red River keeps the valley nice and cool, especially when they are generating electricity at the dam! There is an on-site hatchery available to the public where you can see various sizes of trout and learn about how they are raised from fertilization to release in the river. Great family-friendly and relaxing place to stay during the dog days of summer!
