Park Ridge RV Campground

This campground boasts a market and shop and sits on a bend in a creek on the outskirts of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Beyond those amenities I can't see what would prompt vacationers to stay at this place. Mostly it has the look of a residential community.

I sought shelter here during a snow storm. I could sit out the inclement weather hooked up to power and the camp's ample wifi and get some work done. The coin-op laundry was good for getting my clothes washed.

The owners did not clear the snow at the camp sight or on the walkways to the bathrooms and laundry room. I found a shovel and did it myself. At about $40 a night it seemed overpriced.

Showers are hot and the heat works well. Some consideration could be given to making space for the toiletries and changing area needed for showering. On the upside, the camp's hosts have placed several bird feeders on the property and between that and the surrounding woodlands and water supply, you'll see many interesting birds: Eastern bluebirds and Cedar Waxwings among them.
