Everyone is very friendly and the place is very clean. The campsites are maintained and spaced out nicely

Scenic viewpoint while climbing onto Mount Magazine trail. The drive is beautiful while in fall and has couple of cabin/resort next to the lakeshore. Located 20/25mins drive from city of Paris in Arkansas

Beautiful camp site. Only 2 families were there when we went. Showers and toilets at the main facility were nice. The other ones had no flush. Toliet paper was supplied. Make sure you are stocked on food... Many things close at 7pm or are miles away ( this is more for people that have never been to the area). ❤️
