ACOE Toad Suck

Great little campground. Decently maintained. Most of the sites have concrete pads big enough for a couple tents. Solid concrete picnic table with a roof over it was nice. Parking was not very level but our 38ft schoolie fit fine with enough room for our car.

gold under the bridge

definitely never stayed at a place with a bridge above us. campground was well kept, hosts were friendly, bathrooms were well kept (although no soap). had big patios to sit and enjoy. sites are kinda close to one another, so backing in with an rv is a little challenging. also had a gas station near the exit, which was nice to fill up before heading out. would recommend :)

A good little campground

Toad Suck is a great campground- with some caveats. All of the sites are reservable and have concrete pads. This makes it impossible to stake down a tent but also provides a great level spot. There's no foragable wood at the sites, but there's a quick stop type gas station very nearby that sells it cheap and locally sourced. The bathrooms can be a trek from your site or right next door, depending on where you're staying, but theyre immaculately clean. They service them twice daily. It's right next to the lock and dam at Toad Suck on the Arkansas River so there's a constant roar of water and the sound of barges throughout the night and day. I don't mind it but keep that in mind if you don't like those sounds. The campsite is peaceful otherwise. Dogs are allowed! ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL.

Nice quiet place

Stayed here In March, no bugs. Very quiet and clean, they just planted new grass and cleaned up the entire park, three loops with plentiful space to walk. Loop A seems for smaller campers, and very unlevel. Loop C seems a bit more spaced out. There are actually two entrances to the park, recommend the second one as it has less sharp curves. The bridge is high enough for rigs to go under of choosing the first entrance. Overall very nice and would come again.

Unfortunate name, cool place

On the bank of the Arkansas River, great access to water. Good boat ramp, picnic tables and RV sites. Very clean, bring your mosquito repellent.

Great place

We have stayed at here several times.    The kids enjoy the playgrounds x 3, walking, plenty of open space, and watching the barges coming down the river.   Area real close to town.  Not much to hike.  Sites are roomy.   Bathroom is always clean.  Camp host pleasant.

Riverside

This campground is right on the river! Water flows by very fast. No swimming. Lots of fishing. Sites are clean but a little close. Lots of shade. Would recommend to those who love to fish.

Toad Suck

It was a nice campground but nothing special. There weren't many people when we were there so it was nice but those who there were very noisy. There was a group of young adults that took about 4 campsites and played Jason Derulo music late into the night. Otherwise it wasn't a terrible experience and would return if it isn't as loud as last time.
