GuideThis is a pretty campground with huge trees for shade. The sites are extremely level! I didn’t even need to level my pop-up camper!! The water hyacinths were in full bloom while we were here and are beautiful!! I will be coming back next year!
Guide50 Amp electric, water no sewer hook up but dump station. Spaced spread out not crowded. Campground is low and will be soggy after rain.
TravelerI tent camped at Site #3, right beside the lake. Put my hammock up and watched the sun set and the fireflies start dancing. A few ducks played on the edge of the water and walked on shore for a bit. There is a marked Artesian Spring right at the turn to this loop before Site #1.
This park has so much going for it. It is clean, small, handicap accessible....great hiking with short and long options, a pour-off waterfall during the wet season when the lake is high, biking options. You can rent paddle boats and kayaks for the small but beautiful lake that is known for fishing. The visitor's center has nice restrooms, local author's books and art, and is well-stocked in emergency supplies, treats, a water fountain, and friendly staff. I live close by and opt for this park when I need to get away from the hustle and bustle for a while. This park is small enough to avoid the typical state park crowds and still enjoy all the outdoor sights, sounds and activites you are looking for.
ScoutI woke up a 11am to someone driving in then 12:30am then at 1:30 a loud truck came in slinging rocks and a guy was screaming out the window. So I was packed up and was out by 2am.
GuideTraveling across country on I-40, found this camp ground on the DYRT app. Close to Interstate, Love’s station at exit. There is no facility for tents; this RV/Trailers only because no facilities. Has full hookup 50/30Amp, water and sewer . Gravel pads and well maintained
ScoutAccommodating owner, very simple but easy and cheap!
GuideWe got lucky with our spot, only 1 direct neighbor. Beautiful view of the Arkansas River. Busy park. Nearest toilet house was far away though.
ScoutI love staying here but for monthly rent at 490 you get just water and sewage hookups and the back of the office building had 1 shower and a laundromat with only 1 dryer and 1 washer.. which can be aggravating at times of heavy traffic needing to use those amenities. The dial up internet is basic and does go in and out alot... and not to mention the groundskeeper ain't very pleasant but you hardly ever see him doing his grounds keeping work until every other weekend it seems and that's just to mow, weedeat, and blow the leaves and grass away.
ScoutWe used our trailer showers. Public showers need a renovation.
