Very well kept, great park staff, excellent boat ramp and pier.  Could use more camping spots especially for tent campers.

5/5

Newer campground that is very well laid out and well kept. Tall tree limb canopy helps with a nice breeze and fewer bugs.  This is on a bayou so be prepared for mosquitoes.  Great paddling trails and about100 yards from Big Cypress Bayou connected by a boat trail.  Nice shower / restroom close to the tent area. 

Leslie and Pat are fantastic hosts and go out of their way to make you feel at home.  Ask about their buffalo ranch.

Privately owned, well kept campground. Clean, waterfront access. Beautiful Ouachita mountains.

Well maintained, lodge on site, family and pet friendly.

Another no-frills camp on a wildlife management area. Mosquito spray is more important than food.

This is one of those no frills, bring your mosquito spray, dig a hole to poop in places.  Big lakefront access.

Road going in needs work but in fairness you're driving through Ozark mountain roads that wash out easily. Very remote and that invites less than reputable company. The river access was badly washed and we had to be careful even with 4wd about getting to and from to load up the kayaks.

A LOT of people use this access including outfitters. Great gravel bar, plenty of room to.launch, picnic, camp. Very clean, people did a great job of picking up after themselves.

Fantastic scenery, camps, facilities and hosts. Family owned, family friendly. Located at the end of the world, it will take a bit to.get there but the drive is worth it.

Primitive and out of the way. Great for what it is.

Nice place. Not 5 star but ok. Pads are on steep slopes.

Nice to get away from everyone and everything. Primitive.

Overall great place! Would recommend. Beautiful scenery in the Shawnee National Forest. Quiet and comfortable.

Not big by any means but we'll kept and cozy. Primitive with water and restrooms. Worth the stay for thise wanting a small area and tent camp.

Plenty of hiking trails with a lot of information about the area. Pretty close to convenience stores for your needs.

Closed for season and upgrades when we were there. Seems kind of late to open an area. Right on the water and easy to get to.

This place is hopping. A veritable modern day camper city. Little too busy for what I want.

Nice amenities. Very clean. Has bball and baseball field, The Outpost for your convenience store needs. Lots of water front camping with 10x more places. Several different areas to camp in. There were a lot of people as this was spring break, kids everywhere. Lots of bike riders, walkers, joggers and golf carts.

Only gave it a 4/5 because it was too busy for my liking.

Nothing fancy here. Pull off the highway and here it is. Older facilities but very clean.

Pretty close to other conveniences so it's br good for kids to get away without getting too far away.

Has everything. Water, electric, nice bath facilities, waterfront, boat ramp, trash, firewood availability, well kept. You name it. I live that it's inside LBL with all of these.

Access to Barkley or Energy Lake. Boat or bank fishing with a fishing pier and parking lots big enough for boat trailers.

Quiet and tucked back from everything else.

Very good for pull behinds or semi-permanent but less than desirable for tent campers. Tents were relegated to a narrow strip in the campground really too small for campers. Water and electric are available but restrooms/showers are about 1/4 mile away. Not what would be considered tent friendly.

Pretty quiet and peaceful campground in early April.

Website said the Pier restaurant would be open but when we arrived it wasn't scheduled to open until later in the month.

Restrooms and showers were clean but most are very small. There is 1 handicapped and 1 family unit for the facility.

Standing dead trees in the tent site. I had to ask workers to cut 1 tree beside my site when I arrived.

Gave them a (generous) 4 from our perspective.

Ok, that's cheesy but true. Several groups there when we went. Very clean, well maintained primitive campground on the south end of LBL. Four stars, for what it is. If there was electric and water it would be a solid 5. Secluded but still accessible.
