I absolutely loved this campground. The staff were wonderful, the entire park was fresh and clean, and I don't care if you have a fully-equipped bathroom in your RV…you have to checkout their showers. It's a spa. Not kidding. If there was one downside it was that there are few trees for shade, but it was early enough in the year that it wasn't an issue. Wonderful large dog park and the best laundry facilities I've seen. Highly recommend!!

I reserved this spot last minute as I changed my route from Page to I-40 and I'm so very glad I did. Breathtakingly beautiful. There is a charge to enter the Monument as it's separate from the campground, but it's totally worth it. Lovely visitor's center and kind staff. Be sure to take some of the hikes through the lava fields. The camp itself was clean with well-spaced lots. No fires allowed when I was there, but that was not a problem. It was cold even in May, so come prepared. One of my favorite campsites.

This entire region is breathtakingly beautiful. The campground is small with a pit toilet at one end. My large, private spot backed up to spectacular rock formations. There was water at the site, but no electric. The dump station was located as you exited the campground and perfect for my needs. Absolutely loved it there. My dog and I were greeted by a pair of bighorn sheep that hung around the area the entire time we were there. Absolutely loved it.

This quirky campground was safe, and that was what I needed while visiting friends in LA. This isn't a self-park park…the spaces are so close together that they use a cart to park you. On the upside, the bathrooms and showers were clean and plentiful, there was an area at the back of the park that was fenced for pups, and although the spaces were small, the park was landscaped such that you had some privacy. On the downside, the park is right next to the departure/arrival runway for Burbank and so if you don't fancy airplanes, you may not appreciate the noise. There is quite a bit of noise, but then again, you are in downtown Burbank. The owner is quite a character and told me that they even have an entertainment space where they offer musical performances, plays, etc. by local artists. He also mentioned that most of the park's customers were long-term residents that support the local production companies. I'm not sure if I would stay there again, but then again I'm not sure I'm interested in visiting Burbank again either.

I only stayed one night but could have made an entire vacation in this one location. Close to Winslow and the Grand Canyon, beautiful park setting, excellent park store, and the staff were wonderful. They do have food service, however I did not eat there. Plenty of clean shower and bathroom facilities and options for family entertainment. Two large dog parks with towering pines all around.

Zero stars. I'm not overly picky about amenities, but this place was in shambles. First, there were 2 young women in the front office smacking gum with their feet on the counter. One handed me a map showing my spot, then told me that the restrooms (I only saw one for the entire facility and it shared the space with the washer/dryer) were closed from 6 to 8am and then from 3 to 5pm for cleaning--prime time for this senior's 70-year-old bladder. The spot I was assigned had a 30-degree drop and 6-foot reach to the utilities…not doable for my 18-foot camper van, so I went back to the office and asked if I could move to another space. They said no. I said that I would have to go somewhere else because I paid for, and required power, water, and bathroom facilities and they said ok, but that they had a no-refund policy since I was cancelling on the day of arrival. I said that I paid for 2 days and asked that one be refunded. They didn't even blink and again declined so I backtracked 22 miles to the Albuquerque (east) KOA, which was lovely.

I grew up in Dallas and am sad to say that I didn't know about Palo Duro. The canyon sneaks up on you, literally. There's no foreshadowing until you turn onto the canyon road and then it appears if out of nowhere…majestic, serene, simply breathtaking.

Facilities are excellent and fellow campers, polite. The park has an excellent gift shop with quality silver and native art. I can't wait for my next visit.

This was my first stop on a 4,000-mile trip from NW Arkansas to California and back. I met my brother and his wife who live just north of Fort Worth and spent two nights cooking and laughing around the campfire. The perfect start to an adventure.

The weather was cool and so not many bugs. Since this was a water-facing spot, I would consider the weather when booking. Great hikes. Don't forget to visit the tower while you're there.

We only stayed one night enroute home to NW Arkansas. We had stayed at one of the sites on the river side of the park, but this was our first on the lake side.

We had a pull-though site with full hookups. As we were only one of three campers, the campground was very quiet. The pull-through sites are fairly close together and I wonder how noisy they would be during peak season.

The facilities were nice, but no hot water in the showers…brisk!!

Lots of deer (friendly…I would guess the guests feed them). We would stay here again as a short term solution…probably not a long-term option for us.

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.

We were meeting cousins from Texas to do the Lewis and Clark loop (the campground is an excellent choice for that) this past weekend (August 19-21). The heat index was 120F. No lie. The campground had nothing to do with the ambient heat, but as there are only a couple lots with trees, very little grass, and the spaces are narrow enough to hand your neighbor a stick of butter from your window to theirs, we were all pretty miserable. 

On the high side, the laundry and restrooms are above par (and the air conditioning was excellent), they have a lovely pool, and a small but adequate dog run. The cheese shop is very well appointed and included some lovely local wines which was a life saver as it was too hot to cook. Wine is a major food group, right?? The hosts were friendly and the facilities very clean. The park is right on the highway and so if you're looking for white noise…you've got that going for you. 30 amp power, sewer, and adequate water pressure at the site was nice. We were in space #68…I'm not kidding when I say they're narrow. 

Not a place to recreate, but definitely a safe and clean space to spend the night enroute to your destination.

Our first trip to Hot Springs. The weather was perfect and our hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect spot for our stay. Facilities are clean and recently renovated. Staff ensure each space is clean and everything is working properly.

We camped May 5 through the 7th, feeling fortunate to have grabbed the last camping spot available:  space #9. First let me say that there are no bad spots in this beautiful park. All 26 spots with electric and water, and only about 6 of those had sewer…ours did not. There's also additional tent camping just on the north end of the park. Other amenities include comfort stations with showers, volleyball, horseshoes, and disk golf. No swimming, but that was not an issue for us. Lovely playgrounds for kids and lots of beautiful hiking trails. The campsite was patrolled routinely and kept neat as a pin. In the ranger station, you can get wood, ice, and keepsakes. This park has moved to the top of our favorites list!

This was a spur-of-the-moment trip from NW Arkansas so we could dip our toes in the ocean in the middle of winter. It's unfortunate that you have to go through Port Arthur to get to the state park, but totally worth it once you get there. WARNING: the mosquitoes are serious here. We have an Aliner and although we use pool noodles to seal gaps in the A-frame's roof, they found a way in--hundreds of them. We only stayed the one night because of it. Having said that, if you have a class A/B/C camper, you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend it to tent campers even with the best bug spray…and we went in December! Clean, beautiful facilities. You can park in a site, or if you don't want/need utilities, you're allowed to camp on the beach.

This was a spur-of-the-moment trip from NW Arkansas to Port Arthur for a couple of nights…this campground was at about the halfway point. We were surprised at the condition of the bathrooms but found that there are two sets--one for the premium campsites, and another for the lower-cost sites away from the river. By all means, pay up for the premium sites!

Beautiful site on the river. Use the bathroom by campsites 5/6, others are old and dirty. If you can get Acorn #1, do—it’s the most remote and you can hear the overflow from the dam. Take mosquito repellent.

The campsite is wonderful! We’re here in mid December and it’s been foggy both days, but beautiful. I would recommend that you bring a camper versus pop up due to the mosquitoes which are viscous.
