            Tyler State Park Campground

            Quiet, lovely campground. Excellent park staff.

            We drove from NWArkansas the end of January to purchase a conversion van in Tyler, but towed our 19-foot Coleman camper just in case the van didn't work out, at least we'd have a nice camping trip! We stayed in a pull-though space (#340) which was large enough for our Tundra, the Coleman, AND our newly acquired 2000 E-350 Sportsmobile Van. 

            The campsites were quiet (except for our dogs, who loved the racoons and deer...sorry!!) and well maintained. Beautiful walk around the lake to watch the sunrise. The facilities are standard state park facilities...everything worked. One toilet was a mess, but that wasn't the rangers' fault. One would think women would be more mindful of the mess they make. 

            Note that the gift shop isn't open on Tuesday/Wednesdays, so if you want a head badge for your walking stick, you can purchase one at the ranger station CASH ONLY.  Highly recommend this park.

            Shallow Creek RV Park

            Very nice campground

            We found this at the last minute and the had room for 25 days. When we got in the ownwer said he would give us the monthly rate because it was cheaper than 3 weeks. That was nice. Bathrooms nice and big and clean. They are on a golf course for you golfers. Concrete pads, we could tell some were not level, but ours was hardly any leveling. 2 pools, hot tub, splash park, play area. Internet good, though we did put out our starlink as we didn't want to hog everyone. Verizon great after 7 months of barely cell phone it is so nice.

            2 downsides but not bad. Near a heavy used road, and narrow drive in and out.

            Friendly and nice, we will be back.

            Pretty Cool Spot for a Weekend Camping Trip

            We spent a weekend here with the in-laws, in site 51.  It had been raining a lot, so things were pretty muddy, but all in all it was a pretty nice park.

            Lots of trails to explore, and a few geocaches.  If you like boating or fishing, this park would be great for you.

            Site 51 was pretty secluded and level.

            Quiet and Shady

            The park is well taken care of. The sites are level and have plenty of shade covering. This is especially important if you are in a pop-up like us. If you are, you know what I mean. It was a quiet campground. Bathrooms were clean. The entry gate is coded after closing for some added security. Will return.

            Horrible

            We had no choice but to stay for 2 months due to unfortunate events, but this place will make sure that you are treated like you are below them. We were always told to follow the rules, but the rules seemed to only being getting longer and stricter everyday, but the weekenders and the live in free workers didn't have to follow, we paid resort prices for no resort accommodations, what was "included" in the price wasn't included for us because we paid monthly not daily, (it's cheaper and it was literally 700$ a month so not much cheaper) the camp site for us was ran down and had prior campers trash left over that we had to take care of because it was "your responsibility" as the nice lady stated in the store front of the campground....I don't have kids in diapers, and I had to clean up over a dozen of poop filled diapers from our campsite, my youngest is 9...but as the leady said it was my responsibility to clean my campsite up upon arrival...then they tried to fine me for it...and the broken picnic table, that's bit the worse part, the worse part was the live in workers freely went threw our outdoor stuff (we have portable garden beds with veggie and fruits) by the time they freely helped themselves without my permission I had to restart my garden...I'm poor and lost everything so I'm literally starting all over again...I took out a large loan to get a type of hike for my son and I just to be treated like dog poop on the bottom of ya boot....when I brought it uo to them and started to complain about the chaos and rudeness I was told to "ignore it won't happen again" until it did...this time a weekender thought it would be adorable to throw rocks at my kid and dog...I will never go back.

            Good, however...

            So this is an ok place to spend a night or two. With Passport America, the price is right. The Tin Cup is a restaurant that's owned by the park and the food is great. The downside is that there's live music on Saturdays. It's loud enough to be annoying but not loud enough to enjoy. It was still playing after 10:30 pm. Not good when you need to get up early in the morning.

            I stayed for four nights and really enjoyed it. The sites are large and fairly private. The restrooms could use some work but they do keep them clean. There are a lot of great hiking trails with wildlife including deer, coyotes, armadillos, and butterflies.

            good

            Campgrounds provide water and electricity; in the heat, you'll need a fan. Even on the river, there is limited air circulation due to the dense tree cover. This location is tranquil and peaceful because it is not very well-liked by the locals. Visit cuphead if you are finding games.

            Lake Holbrook Park - South

            Great Quiet Stop

            The road in isn’t bad but it’s pretty dippy in some spots so if you have a large vehicle take it slow.

            The directions take you to the Beach. Do not make the left turn. Camp spots are forward and to the right upon entry.

            The spots are nice and spaced.

            Only one other camper here when we arrived. They had tents. The spots are large enough to drive right into and it’s not to bumpy.

            No bathrooms and the trash cans are all upside down and screwed to polls. So there is trash EVERYWHERE! In the lake, on the shore, on the roadways.

            Other than the trash this place is absolutely breathtaking. We were on our way through so we only stayed for about 6 hours.

            I imagine it’s the hot spot during the summer.

            I would most definitely come back.

            Friendly place to stop at

            Warm and inviting owners met us when we arrived and guided us to our site. The grounds were clean and spacious. All sites have a nice table and some have a barbeque! There is a pavilion you can use that includes tables, grills with propane, and a smoker. You can shoot some pool, play foosball, play games or watch TV in the rec room available for use. A playground is available for the kids.

            The grounds were relaxing and quiet, though there is highway noise. Site are level. The permanent campers are friendly. We would stay here again.

            There is a very generous military discount.
