@ThomasB3452376 · Camped on Nov 26, 2025 at Campsite #B11
It was good until the last evening. In 29 degree weather, the breaker on the electrical pole went bad. We had no heat for my camper. And apparently you dont March (at least thats what the sign at the entrance said). It made for a very unpleasant last night there. Ive been sick ever since. It was very cold.

We had a great time the dump stations could be upgraded to at least two

One of our favorites! All spots are great, the river and Dam make the scenery even more amazing.

Weve been going here for the last five years, and have zero complaints. The park is very well maintained, easy access, great facilities, and just a short drive into town if you need anything.

This site is great. Lots of room between all the sites and this one is close to the restroom.

Clean site, easy access and hookups!

Beautiful campground. Cell phone reception better than last year. We drove to Mt. View, less than an hour's drive. We hit all the thrift stores in Heber.

A beautiful setting for a camp ground.
@CrystalBE24C61 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #D6
Campsites are well spaced. Walking trails maintained. The river is like a fairytale. Beautiful area.
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Nov 12, 2025 at Campsite #B7
Been coming here for decades. Never disappointed, love the atmosphere, the trails, the fishing, especially in the fall with all the colors!!

4 campsites as a group. Beautiful weather kids had a blast
@TommieW7E8DA28 · Camped on Nov 9, 2025 at Campsite #D19
The bathrooms need to be cleaned and serviced more often. They frequently ran out of toilet paper.

We spent 5 nights at JFK. Everything about the campground was great. The campground is right next to the Little Red River. Quite a few campsites are on the river. The campsites are spacious. Each site has its own trash cans, which is so convenient. If youre a trout fisherman this is your spot. The river is accessible right from the campground and it is stocked with trout. Dont miss the train museum in Heber Springs. They have an amazing collection of model trains. The owner has trains his father passed on to him, one set is over 100 years old. He has built multiple train layouts throughout the building. One layout accommodates 18 operators at once. This is a must see. For restaurants Peggy Sues has breakfast and lunch, Angies Hideaway for any meal, and Macks Fish House for catfish and steaks. Cant go wrong with any of the three. I highly recommend JFK campground.

Always a nice and peaceful stay here! Our go to spot for sure!
@RachaelK92DE1E · Camped on Nov 7, 2025 at Campsite #A2
Beautiful place this time of year. Lots of people out fishing on the river. The hatchery and the trails were fun to do. There are a couple of local area restaurants if you dont feel like cooking, but apparently Dominos will deliver pizza to your campsite here. I spotted their delivery vehicle a few times.
@TerryL3632706 · Camped on Nov 6, 2025 at Campsite #D12
Enjoyed our stay and the fall leaves were beautiful.
@LavelleRF125F0 · Camped on Nov 3, 2025 at Campsite #B7
It was a perfect week for camping. The trees were beautiful and the fishing was excellent. Love this campground.
@BillyeDa3169B3 · Camped on Nov 2, 2025 at Campsite #D3
Its a great spot to camp in. Water and electricity are provided there. Nice fire pit and easy to use for cooking.
@Christoph94057 · Camped on Oct 31, 2025 at Campsite #A10
Live about an hour away and this area is my go to spot. The trout fishing is amazing. Already have several more trips planned.
@MaryFran9FCCCD · Camped on Oct 31, 2025 at Campsite #B4
We visit frequently to trout fish mainly, but its such a quiet place even if we didnt fish Everyone is friendly Many of us have dogs, and we respect each others boundaries We were there for Halloween, and a group brought our dog, a doggie treat
@LloydH4CB9FDF7 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #D3
Great experience as always. Friendly attendants, nicely managed camping sites and facilities.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
