Steel Creek Campground is absolutely beautiful!This place blew me away, clean, well-kept, and peaceful. The bathrooms were spotless (a big deal for any campground), and you can tell the grounds are cared for with pride. The scenery is incredible with trails that start right from camp, offering stunning views in every direction. The campground host was awesome, friendly, helpful, and made sure everything stayed in top shape. Couldnt ask for a better camping experience. I will definitely be back!

Ponca had historic flood in November. Trails where still there but a lot of trees are down and lots of drift and debris. Stick pointing at you on a horse are not good. The big problem was the FAST traffic in park, rangers need to patrol a little more. Won't go back for a few yrs.

Please post signs on the road going through the horse camp to drive SLOWLY! Drivers speed up and down that road, which is unsafe and blew dust everywhere, during this dry fall season. Better yet, a sign restricting traffic on that road to HORSE CAMPERS ONLY.

My trip is always fantastic at Steel Creek, the camp ground and all the rangers were very helpful and nice. It is nice that office has WIFI now, so to let family know you arrive safe. Weather was great, it rained and we got to see alot of waterfalls off the rock side of park. There were several hogs on our trails and even one in camp but that seems to be all over. Ark. is a beautiful state. God was in a good mood when he created Steel Creek.

I brought a bumper hitch rv trailer with horses and the female ranger harassed us all weekend telling me we were allowed there because we had a bumper hitch camper that it was consider at RV. Also we had to keep horses tied to our trailer because you couldnt get to the rope line due to grass being sooo high. Once again we had a battery operated weed eater with us and when we were using it the same lady stopped and told us we were not allowed to use that..
