Old Post=Great Family Fun

Lots of shade in the park. This particular site didn’t have much shade. Plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails. Sand volleyball courts. Level sites. Easy back-ins. Beautiful view of the Arkansas River.

Old Post Road - Double parking for your boat and camper

I think the best part about Old Post Road campground is the way they have set up the campsites. Each site has two parking spots, one for your Camper or RV and another for a boat or an extra vehicle. With easy access to the lake this is a nice convenience if you like to boat and camp for several days.

The campground is maintained by the Corps of Engineers and is in very good shape. Each campsite has its own little pavilion and most have electricity and water hookups.

This is a great place if you want to hang out on the lake.
