It was supposed to be a quiet vacation here for a couple of days but the secret got out and the entire city showed up to spot the most famous musicians. In remembrance of the events, the city created "Beatles Park" here and renamed the street to "Abbey Road" and there are cutouts and posters and sculptures and murals that commemorate the event. It's a quick, cheesy and campy stop and if you're anywhere near Walnut Ridge - look at a map, there's nothing near Walnut Ridge - you should stop in and check it out. And if you're going to be here in September, don't miss the annual Beatles Fest. [Review 19824 overall - round number 300 in Arkansas - 797 of 2023.]

The Beatles stood on Arkansas soil for a brief moment (and that was the only time) during the height of American Beatlemania. The park is very interesting and cool, definitely a must for Beatle fans. Surprisingly, not a lot of them know this park exists. Historical markers talk about the event, as well as local rock and roll moments.

The highlights for me were being near the water, and the absolute gem of a camp hostess, Melissa. When my husband checked us in he said, "She's really friendly," and a few hours later I met her myself and had to agree. Plus, I got to meet the camp kitties. Shadow, the all-black mini panther, totally stole my heart. What a sweetheart. The campground was very quiet and peaceful, with free firewood and super clean bathrooms that are ice cold, which was a total win on a hot day. The showers are free and in great condition too. The entire park is tidy and well maintained. It's a dry park, so if you're planning to enjoy a cocktail by the fire, just be a little stealthy and bring a cozy. Civilization is about a 15-minute drive away, but still dry... so plan accordingly. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back.
