Great View of Dardanelle Rock and Arkansas River

We camped here with some friends and really enjoyed it. The lock and dam was a neat site to look at along with the view of Dardanelle Rock across the river. Mount Nebo State Park and Lake Dardanelle State Park are very short drives from the campground as well as the town of Russellville with Arkansas Tech University. Our campsite was on the river side and very quite and relaxing.

Only thing needed is sewer

We love this place, but can only stay a week because they do not have sewer. The trees and the shade are wonderful!!!! Peaceful spot on the river with places to walk and enjoy your surroundings.
