I recently camped near a couple who made the experience quite unpleasant. First, there’s the constant, heavy use of cannabis—while not an issue for everyone, it was overwhelming at times. They also had eight dogs that were continuously barking, making it impossible to find any peace and quiet.
The vehicle they arrived in seemed suspicious, too. The tag on the travel trailer says "in transit," but the plates are from 2018, which felt a bit sketchy.
And then there’s the woman, who was constantly yelling at her phone, seemingly about online trolls. This went on day and night, making the entire experience unsettling.
If you're seeking tranquility or a peaceful connection with nature, I'd recommend steering clear of this area if you see them camped out. Or call the police.

Place was quiet, besides animals. Pulled over and parked for the night. It was chill no one bothered us. Shell casings everywhere, seems like we always wake up and find out we're in a shooting range. Saw some tracks, bear maybe? Kept the doors locked.
TravelerLast minute ditch effort to find a spot after driving 21 hours. Nice and quiet from any traffic and perfect breeze from the river. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise. Wouldn’t stay here for the day but a beautiful random spot!
TravelerIt was just a place to park. I only went to sleep for the night, which was fine. I would not want to spend more time than that. I saw a sign that said no fire. But it’s right on the Arkansas River, so at least it had a pretty view

Secluded area with a pretty clean bathroom. The road is a washboard for a couple miles but worth it.
RangerIf it wasn't so late and stormy, my husband and I would have moved on... but there aren't a lot of options in this area anyway. This isn't like any "campground" I know--this was basically one open dirt lot. There was one poor tenter having a hard time keeping their tent on the ground during the storm, a few RVs that have seen better days, and a couple parked vehicles during my stay. The occasional car with a rattling bass would drive by throughout the night. But worst of all, the wind changed in the middle of the night and I woke up gagging from the smell of pig s***. It was bad enough we left as soon as the sun began to rise. No vault toilets and no privacy to be found here, either.
