Great place to swim and relax! Amazing sunsets! I have never camped here so I cant say but the campsites are well kept. Staff is always nice and the bathrooms are clean.

We drove from Kansas City down to camp out the night before the Eclipse which was going to be in totality in this area. It's a nice clean, quiet camp ground with full electrical and water hook-up for the RV crowd as well as people like us that just pitched a tent. The view of the Eclipse was wonderful. Mountain Home Ark is only a 10 min drive from the campground

Decided to get some work done in between showing a morning and late afternoon showing in Gamaliel, so I crashed my sons family campsite while they were on the boat. Enjoyed the cool breeze coming off the water and watching the bicyclists. Low key and quiet campground with beautiful views of the lake. This is our “go to” campground.
