Nice spot with great access

This is a quiet park right on the Red River. Sunsets are amazing over the river. The facilities are well maintained and clean. The sites are spaced nicely and tucked into the trees. All spots are full hookup and 50 amp service. The water pressure is a little low, but sufficient. The only drawback is there is a large warehouse next door that is very well lit all night

Nice park

Close to home so we visit often. Very nice bathroom facilities. On the Red River but no swimming unless you have a boat, lock thru, and hit the sandbars. We like to let the kids kayak in the oxbow at the landing. Nice place to go for a short weekend trip to get out the house and on the water!
