One of my favorite campsites in Arkansas! What made this trip stand out was the campground host, Dave, was so very friendly and helpful! He made sure that our needs were addressed!

Would give it five stars except a camper fired up their generator at 6:30am right across from the camp host and nothing was said. No excuse for that. Generator hours are clearly posted 8am-8pm.

Very nice campground. Facilities could use an update but were clean well lit and functional with hot shower. Centrally located to Middle District and many outfitters. Trails are nice and no litter.

We stayed in # 5 for the 3rd year in a row. The camp hosts are friendly and helpful, cautioning everyone to make sure food was put up at night to prevent wildlife from getting into it. The river was perfect for our float from Tyler Bend to Gilbert.
When a thunderstorm was brewing, the kind host made sure we knew to shelter in the bathhouse if needed.
I’m planning to be back there next spring for another stellar trip!

First stop was at the visitors center. All they required was for us to sign in at the actual campsite. The lady ranger who was working that day and the next day was really awesome. Very welcoming and helpful with information.

There were only 2 other campers the first night and none aside from us the next night so we had a choice of which site we used which was an added bonus. The camping area was really clean and so were the bathrooms for an outdoor park bathroom. The showers were decent too.

The only thing that bothered me was that as we were packing up a ranger approached and was making political remarks to my girlfriend. Just thought it was inappropriate. Im sure everyone who works at this camp also knows the guy is SUPER annoying in general. Sorry if you ever have to meet him.
