I did not realize this place had housed German POWs. The story of how well they were treated and that the POW actually brought his wife to see lake Catherine after the war made me happy. The fireplace is still there and beautiful. The view from behind the visitor center is gorgeous. From the campground there is the ugly factory across the lake which isn't my favorite. The trail was awsome. There wasn't much water in the waterfall this time of year but the view was great. The trail was fun and perfect for a beginner.

Gorgeous lake and super nice campground! We were lucky enough to get Site 58, right on the water and it may very well be the best site in the campground. Each site has a nice long level paved pad, a picnic table on a paved pad, a stationary lantern hook, a graveled tent pad, water, sewer, electric and a fire ring you can cook on and a Charcoal grill. Each section (A, B and C) have their own restrooms with two clean showers and two bathroom stalls for each sex. There are several hiking trails directly from the campground and you can fish for trout snd Bluegill from your camp site. It's only a 20 minute drive to Hot Springs National Park. We're staying two nights and we're already wishing we would have booked more, as it's already filled with no availability for longer.

Very quiet well maintained state park. No fee to get in. I was camping but they have a swim area with nice clean changing rooms and a small marina with rentals. I had a water view tent spot. Electric and water included. As a note the power station complex across the bay in full view. Also at night lots of dog barking across the bay as well. ( No fault of the parks). Took about 30 minutes to the National park.

We camped here for nine days and really enjoyed our stay. We were a little bummed out to be in loop A which was up the hill a little from the lake. However, it was much quieter, larger sites with better spacing and still very convenient access to everything with a short walk. Lots of trails, boat rental and plenty of activities for the kids.

Beautiful area. Free to hike and swim. The trail layout is confusing. To the waterfall hang right on the red trail where the wooden sign is. We took the long way by accident. Rocky, slippery, little waterfalls along the way & babbling brooks too! You need water shoes to cross spots and with traction. Once we got down there a lot of trash from about 50 foreigners/tourists and lots of photo shoots. Crowded. I love that people come to visit —PLEASE PICKUP YOUR TRASH! We love and treasure our State Parks and respect our places visitors. Nice swimming hole and downhill to get to the water. No trash cans or bathrooms on trails & waterfall.
