Great place to camp on Arkansas River. Easy to go to stores and multiple eating places near by. And we got to watch the Pelicans. Nice large spots. We have a 40 ft 5th wheel with multiple slides.

Although very busy this Labor Day weekend, it is very quiet and peaceful on the river. Campsites are spaced out nicely!

Very pretty location along the Arkansas River across from the Butterball factory!🦃🍗 Mile long trains and barges as long as cruise ships. Interesting sites. 👀 And nearby wineries in Altus.🍷 This campground has several unique site options. You can choose a "V" site if you're camping with friends, so they can be on their own site but it's right next to you. There's a tremendous distance between the other campsites. Enough that they could have put campsites in between, but it's nice that they didn't. 😀 Other sites are single, and they back up to the forest or the water. Some have tremendously long driveways. But for the most part if you bring a lawn mower you get a big yard! 😉 There's plenty of room for big rigs. Some have covered aluminum tables, and some do not. They all seem to be pretty level. Everybody is on one road which dead ends at the boat ramp. Although there is another section to the park, section c, which is on the other side of the dam. It has its own bath house, two pavilions, a playground and swing set! And a bridge that will take you to the shore on the downstream side of the dam and you can fish🎣 Very quiet location.🤫 Except for the occasional train or boat. I was here for 4 days through a weekend and only once did I hear a train late at night.🚆 There doesn't appear to be any access to the dam from this location. I saw a road that went there from the other side of the river after I passed the butterball factory. That seems to be where the lock is. I don't know if there is public access?

We have camped here for several years and the last couple yrs the campgrounds haven’t been kept up. The grass is knee high on a holiday weekend. You can’t get down to the banks of the river because the brush is so high. The attendants said it’s supposed to be mowed every two weeks but looks like it hasn’t been mowed in 5-6 weeks if that. Come on please keep it mowed it used to be so beautiful…what happened!?

Beautiful location on the Arkansas River. Close to the town of Ozark. Peaceful and Clean.

Lovely park. Good level clean campsites. Budget friendly. Bathrooms needed a little TLC. Don't cut the Corps budget!

No swimming. Flush toilets are a plus, but shower water only comes in two temps... 2nd or 3rd degree burns. Nearest swimming hole is a different campground 30 min away. Makes a July weekend on the river absolutely miserable. Pretty as can be, for sure. Staff is very nice. Won't come back unless it's sometime in January.

Really well-kept park with nice, spacious spots. No real access to the river in area F so fishing is out, unless you take a short walk, but we enjoyed watching the barges. The washout (just outside the park) was a nasty mess, but that was due to a guy using a busted drain hose. We caught him while he was trying to wash the poo water off the asphalt, but it puddled right in the middle. 🤦🏻♀️ They do have another washout located inside the park and both were in great condition when we arrived. Attendants were rolling through consistently and everyone was very friendly. Great place to go.

This is a very nice park. We enjoyed our stay. You can fish, watch the barges come through, or just relax. Many people talk about the trains that come through. I think if you're in a tent you will hear them, but in our trailer we didn't even notice them. Beautiful area with playgrounds for the kids and bathrooms with showers. Nice paved roads and pads. They have fire pits and picnic tables at each site. There is also a boat launch.

Probably the best RV campground I have stayed in for a very long time! Easy back-up spots right on the water. Large trees for plenty of shade. The spaces have 50amp power hook-ups and water hook ups. Two dump stations on the grounds. Near the quaint little town of Ozark with gas stations, restaurants, laundromat and grocery shopping. Amazing views of the water with geese and cranes. Very reasonable prices as well!
