7-10th May of 2026, we had reservations for site C08,and stayed the weekend of Mother's day. While the site is a wonderful site to camp at, and great amenities, we did experience a problem. The people next to us in C07 left early from their site and went back to Conway because their Doggo became bad ill. Our Doggo didn't get ill while there but did so upon returning home to Diarrea, throwing up, wouldn't eat, hard to drink,and she was like this for about 36 hours. We had an appointment with Vet. but she came out of it on 3rd day. I, on the other hand, found a tick on me that Saturday and did the appropriate steps in removal and cleansing thinking nothing about what was to come from it. Fast forward to 2nd week of June 2026 and having a beef heavy week the one prior, I woke up on Tuesday Morning covered in Hives. Went to VA urgent care and they did blood work testing for ALPHA-GAL Syndrome related to the Lone Star Tick. We just got the results back this week and YES, It is confirmed that I have ALPHA-GAL. This means I am now allergic to any kind of Beef, Goat, Bison, Lamb, Pork, and products from those species. I am putting our story in my review in order to make other's planning on visiting JFK RV Park and campground, aware of the risk of Lone Star ticks and the possibility that they are using poisons that can affect the health of your Four Legged Family members. Because of this experience we have decided not to return to the park. This in no way takes away from the beauty of the area, the park itself and the hosts. Your experience may be far different than ours. Thank you for taking the time to read this and be sure to use tick repellant.

My aunt and uncle were camping here so we went for a day visit. It was beautiful. Bathrooms were clean and easy to access for my mom who uses a walker. Definitely will be back for a longer stay.

Didn't camp here this time, but plan on coming back. We got the day use pass and did some fishing. The campgrounds look great, lots of shade in those hot summer months. Even then the air off the river is like an AC. Access to the river is pretty good when its not covered up with anglers. The lady at the entrance booth is very sweet. Nice views of the river. We will be back for some camping and fishing.

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!

Great campsite near river with 30/50 Amp with water hookups. We stayed here for a week and had a great time. Update: October 2023 Can't wait to return again next year. One of our favorite spots now. People are all very friendly and many are regulars we see each time now.

Amazing campground, stayed in the D camp area, very wooded, with lots of wildlife, very quiet. Nice paved drive, concrete picnic tables, and the showers are amazing. Trout fishing on the little red river is insanely good. Even a nice boat ramp to launch my kayak. I stayed 5 nights in a tent. With electricity, flush toilets and showers 200 feet away, far from roughing it.

Love JFK campground. One of the best in our state ❤️.

Cool place to bring the grandkids. Clean and well maintained. Never actually camp overnight here, but appears to be a quiet safe place to camp. Great view of the dam and down river view. Check it out.
