Made our reservations through Recreation.gov. Arrived on a Sunday afternoon and it was a very busy place. With its large river access I imagine it attracts all the local boaters. The playground attracts lots of children. Many large rigs arrived on Monday and the local traffic seemed to disappear.

It's a beautiful park by the AR River with lovely grounds to walk or bike. Shower was a bit moldy but usable (why I gave the cleanliness rating only 4 stars). Sites are very well spaced and you can take your chairs to the river or use the picnic benches ( some in pavilions) scattered along the river full of waterfowl and occasional boaters and huge barges.

We stayed in B2 which faced the river. If we return, I'd choose a river site but this was nice too except our 34 ft class A FDDS opened right onto a silty patch that forced us to navigate our entry into our motorhome and wipe our shih tzu's little feet really well before he came in. Despite us taking off our shoes, it was hard to avoid silt on our feet.

It is warm here but many still use their fire pits creating lots of smoke. We had to close our windows to avoid that.

As mountain bikers, we were able to visit Angry Dave's bike shop and get a few repairs and visit with the knowledgeable folks there who gave us a free AR trail book and repaired my front end suspension and added a new tire. Their two border collies are an added bonus sure to put a smile on your face. They were friendly to my little shih tzu who was welcomed. They have wonderful high-end bikes to check out. The Pinnacle Mountain Trail system was a shaded easy trail system that can be accessed right from this campground. If you like staying close to amenities, this is a great place.
