TravelerThere is a boat ramp here and plenty of shade, or sun, if needed. There is a bathroom and picnic tables with level pads.
GuideWe stayed here while en route to SWMO. Hubby had been in the area working 10-15 years ago and knew quite a few of his colleagues had stayed at this park while working. We knew it was not far from the highways. Park was clean and mowed, but couldn't really distinguish the unpaved roads/pull-throughs from the grass. Gravel needs to be redone. Driving through the park, the back in sites were needing some maintenance and gravel work as well. There were very few signs pointing directions upon arrival and we had come into the park through the exit. We were asked if we had used Google Maps to navigate(yes, we had and we weren't the only ones as several others entered from Newberry). The entrance is off of Hwy 71, just on the north side of the church(Park entrance& church lot are shared). One centralized dumpster beside the propane tank/fill, pool& office. Cabins available for rental. Mostly residential in the North side of the park. Fishing pond for catch& release. Used to be, from the looks, an old KOA from the color scheme and some of the signs had a faded emblem. Park is dated. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our site was B-1. Right beside the exit on Newberry Rd. Mixture of gravel& grass. Picnic table, BBQ grill, and fire pit, although we were in a burn ban. Level, did not need blocks. It was quiet enough in our camper at night, but could tell when people left for work in the morning. It served our purpose to park our camper while we explored Ft. Smith and surrounding areas during the day; however, if back in the area we will stay elsewhere(cheaper places with more amenities). We camped at Fort Smith/ Alma RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
GuideVery nice campsites sort of smile very tight corners. Lots of shade electric hook ups no water at sites, but has dump site and water access
RangerVery nice park - clean and quiet. We did the kayak tour this morning which was nice. There’s also a kayak rental Kiosk down by the boat ramp through Whenever Watersports (download the app). There’s trails and also a pool. Pool closed down Aug 9, 2026 since lifeguards had to go back to school. Not having a pool was the only bummer this trip cause temps are still close to 100.
ScoutThis is a cute campground with lots of trees for shade. This is my first camping experience and I’m impressed. Most of the campers seem to be long term residents who don’t make a lot of noise. I chose this one because the camp sites were wooded not parking lot fashion. Sewage hook up right at your site. Air conditioned laundry. Nice owners very accommodating. The pool is clean and a great way to cool off. Shower house a little dated but clean. It’s right on 62 and you can catch a trolly for 6$ a day for a full day of rides in eureka. The highway next to it kind of dangerous for an ebike but I just bought a month pass for 26$ My site seemed almost double in size. I started at 17 which seemed tight to get into.
ScoutA beautiful place to relax, but very sketchy, wouldn't stay after dark. I've taken many pics down here, the scenery is beautiful.
RangerNew park with young trees (so not much shade yet), pond for fishing and a walking trail around it. Large clubhouse is where the bathhouses are with four individual bathrooms with showers, laundry facility, propane for sale and a nice pool.
RangerClean state park. We enjoyed the trails, kayak rental at the marina. Other amenities include nice bathhouses and a pool.

It's just a quiet beautiful place to camp, ride ATVs, float the river or just hangout with friends and families," says Ty F. about Mulberry River Outdoor Adventures.
Road conditions: Forest service roads can be challenging, especially after rain. "It's a slow, beautiful drive. The reviews are correct that the last hour of the drive is only 20 miles.

Insects and pests: Depending on season, various insects can impact camping comfort. "One warning on the cabins though - in summer be prepared for some bugs.

Naturally, you get spiders, rodents, etc.," advises Matt B. about cabins at White Rock Mountain.
Water activities: During summer months, swimming options help keep children entertained. "My favorite camping spot yet. Aside from the extreme humidity this was a great family getaway.
