The lodge had a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, two full bathrooms, and a BBQ pit in front. We used it all. You do have to bring your own linen and bedsheets, however, which was fine with us. Plenty of space for parking right outside too. One of our guests even decided to tent outside and there was room for that too. The lodge had private access to the Elk River where some of our patrons went to fish and soak in some of Americas most pristine water. We got to the lodge Saturday and partied hard. Sunday at about 10:30am, a driver brought a truck to the lodge and picked up our water coolers for River canoeing party so we didn't have to carry them next door. Then we walked over to the property next door where we found our canoes or sit on top kayaks to take down stream for a total of 8 miles. We completed our 8 miles of wet watery blissful fun in about 5-6 hours, stopping many times along the sides of the river for snacks and drinks. I can't remember another Labor Day where I have had more fun!

Came here earlier today to check it out (recently moved to the Northwest AR region)…read more A day use pass is $4. We decided to buy a year pass to the CORPS parks (which includes a ton of parks). http://www.arkansas.com/outdoors/camping/corps/ A year pass was only $30. We drove down to the picnic/beach area. It had two playground areas that I could see. One was just swings and the other was a playground (slides, etc.). There were plenty of picnic tables and BBQ's. There is a designated "beach" area that is sandy. This time of year - July - the water was pretty warm and clear. We did not swim in the water - next time we will. We went on a Saturday in the morning time and it was not very crowded, but it seemed to start to fill up faster as it approached noon. Fun area to come with family and friends and enjoy some food and the lake on a hot summer day!

Not great. Boat wasn't in great condition. Rope for anchor was too short. The person they sent to…read morehelp was condescending. ex: He said 'that's what you get when you rent' when we mentioned the condition of the boat and the accessories on it among other snide remarks. We ended up having to switch boats with him. He was transferring his stuff to the boat and hit someone in the face with his flip by accident which is okay, but didn't apologize. The scariest part was the rope came off the tube when we pulled it, it was simply not tied on properly. I've been on the lake a number of times both on rented and owned boats. This was the only bad experience so far.

We also really loved that we were offered the use of a mesh bag for our trash in case we brought any disposables, which is a thoughtful touch and shows respectful stewardship of the land. Check these folks out, you will not be sorry!

The sites were easy to book online but there aren't great photos to help with the selection. It'd be nice to be able to leave user reviews, so the website managers don't have to take time to input all the data. Check in is from 4-7pm on weekdays. We arrived around 6pm on a Wednesday evening and checked in at the host station. Got our car tag and went to see the site. Oohf, I don't recommend #91. On a hill. Buffy. Full of garbage. No water and the restrooms were just the pit toilets. That info was on one of the maps, but I didn't notice. The attendant showed us how to change the reservation on the app so we could drive around and see what was available for our dates and make a switch. #85 was much better!! Flatter, with power still in the shade, a short walk from restrooms that flush. We were tent camping, and the space just beyond the paved space was flat enough for a 2 person backpacking tent. Our neighbors were fairly quiet. Those restrooms were clean! We used the shower house on the other side of the park. We did drive over there since we would have gotten sweaty on the hilly walk back. It'd be nice if there were showers on this side of the park as well. The showers were clean enough. The water did puddle up quite a bit. I wish that the temperature was adjustable. The water was quite warm, and there was very little ventilation in the room, so it was hard to dry off afterwards with the humidity and sweating. A cool shower would have been nice. The other thing that would be nice is more garbage cans. There is quite a bit of wildlife, so I understand limiting it somewhat. But I think there'd be less on the ground if there were more accessible trash cans. There did seem to be a long term tent city close to the playground and shower house. There was also some sort of police situation when we checked in as well. I would not camp here solo. We ended up leaving a day early. Partly because of the heat, and partially because it was louder and rowdier on the weekend. It was easy enough to change the reservation and check out early (and get the last night refunded!! Which was unexpected) The price is low, which has its pros and cons. We will probably stay here again, but only if there isn't space available at Coler.

We showed up at around 11:30, which is early and no one was at the booth. We came on to our site and set up. We waited until 2 and then went and checked in. There was some kind of work going on down at the swimming area. Overall, not a horrible experience. I don't know about the bath/ shower houses, so I can't confirm or deny the comments I've seen about them. Idk who runs the place, but I think there does need to be a little better security or someone to make rounds at the site and make sure things are ok, but other than than that, pretty good.

We've been floating here for several years and the owners and employees are always friendly and helpful. I believe ownership changed to another generation and I think they've stepped up their game even more - they have a better selection of kayaks to rent and their customer service is great. They are always friendly and helpful and they will transport us for a small fee when we bring our own kayaks.

Pros: *Reasonable rates for shuttle. *Employees are ALWAYS nice and friendly compared to many shuttle services or outfitters I've used on other rivers that often act like and charge as if you are asking them to move a mountain. *Easy to drive down to the take-out point and load up when you're done. Cons: *The place is pretty trashy. Junk vehicles around the property, overflowing trash dumpsters - the front parking lot was a minefield of used tampons last time we were there. The office/restroom building is pretty gross and rundown, even for a river campground.

We love this city waterpark in Rogers! It is huge and had multiple pools, kids areas, slides, and a…read morelazy river. There is a splash pad area for little kids, a snack bar, rock climbing wall, diving boards, lockers, and a big changing room with showers and bathrooms. The only issue is it is pretty expensive $15 for all day per person (over 48inches). But if you are military it is only $8 and they have discounted rates if you come after 3 I think. They also in the summer have late float hours for $3 to just do the lazy river after hours. We buy the punch cards online which save quite a bit of money and if you get them at their half of sale before summer each visit is about $5. They don't allow you to bring in food but you can bring in tumblers and refillable water bottles ans the snack bar is very affordable with snacks like nachos, hotdogs, and sandwiches around $3-6. 5 stars!

I greatly appreciated all of the lifeguards and their attentiveness. Especially with the slides! I took my two 9-year olds with my husband and we hardly had any down time between the lazy river, the slides, the diving board, and the lily pad ropes. They could have an even bigger obstacle course section on the water and I bet it would be a huge hit! The food was priced well for what it was. I enjoyed my chili cheese dog and Coke icee and my kids enjoyed their nachos! We got there when they first opened at 11 on a Saturday and stayed until about 4:15. We were all exhausted! My kids have already asked if we could go back.

Donna, the owner is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It's the perfect campground for me because I like the family run places that aren't into the noise and crowds of the bigger parks.

It's a great place for a night to rest, a week to camp/visit the area; or, a month or more when working in the area (or a season in a different climate than your home base). Great place.

This park is sort of out of the way. You drive about 6 or so miles east on Big Sugar Creek road and…read morefind it on the left, after a long straight part of the road. It is usually deserted, but sometimes I have seen a car or two, and sometimes, my dog and I have met another hiker. There is a 3.5 mile trail around the small mountaintop there, following creeks and carved out rocky creekbeds. Watch out for ticks. I take my friendly pittie out there so she can get some good exercise. If there is water in the creek, she loves to swim. I recommend this park for a good wilderness hike. Big Sugar Creek is actually across the road and is not on this property, but there is a public landing to Big Sugar a few miles before you get to the park itself. Take your bug spray and, water to drink and a lunch in a bag. There is no store for miles, way back in Pineville.
