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

It was such a nice peaceful place to stay. We only were able to stay one night on our way through but definitely have plans to come back.

All in all, not a bad campground. But for us, the sites were too close together, too many people. Just not our type of campground.

Nice quite area. Showers were adequate, but could be improved. Nice addition would be to add grills at the sites, not just the grill over the firepit. Will definitely be back again.

We enjoyed our stay so much. Clean, spacious campsites and a great playground for my kids to enjoy. At night it was peaceful and quiet. Perfect place for families to visit!

Beautiful park with lots of trees, paved parking. One bathroom looked old and worn out, not sure it was ever cleaned. Grass was in a terrible need of being mowed.

Wh have been camping JFK for 35 years. We love to trout fish and this is a beautiful place to do it. The bathrooms are always nice & clean.

Nice campground and a unique area. Limited hiking trails, but like the trails that were there. We were disappointed that the Damn site rec area bathrooms were all closed during our visit in early March.Showers and bathrooms were decently heated and were fairly clean.

Great campground with sites on the Little Red River. If you love to fish for trout, this is the place to be! Well-maintained sites and friendly staff make this one of our favorites. Wonderful trail to a creek with waterfall that our grandkids love to play in.Check out the Jitterbug Coffee Shop in downtown Heber Springs if you're a coffee fan! Chuck's Diner near the swinging bridge has really good home-cooked meals. We ordered take-out since we're not comfortable with dining in due to Covid-19.
