Horseshoe Bend Campground

5/13/24 - My electric-only site was in the far WEST section of the campground and offered amazing views of the sunset. I was able to paddleboard right from my campsite (which I had hoped for!) and the water in the little inlets near the campground were typically very calm. You can paddle to several really scenic areas within ONE mile. Great hikes in the area at Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area. My neighbors were very friendly and even shared some local firewood with me. I used the communal showers that were on the other side of the campground but it worked out fine. Very friendly woman working in the welcome booth. I would definitely go back!

Nice campground with lots of mature trees. We had a back-in site that was a bit awkward to get into as it was perpendicular to the road (site #119). We made it work. Many of the sites throughout the park have asphalt that's busted up in need of repairs. Bathhouse left a lot to be desired ... no where to hang a towel or put clothes while showering. Quite a drive from town to the campground. Lots of deer in the area. Pretty lake. Grass was in need of mowing, was quite tall. The crew finally came through on a Friday morning and mowed it. No one at the gate house until Friday, and they just waved folks through without checking reservation status.

CAMPGROUND/Trails CLOSED- I tried to go there tonight 9/16/24 after a long day on the road only to discover the campground and most of the park is currently closed. They are still repairing damage due to a tornado that passed through this area in the recent past. The boat ramp is open though.

I tent camped at site 78 in an inner loop with electric only sites and no toilets. There are only 2 buildings with showers for the entire campground. I used the west one which had 1 toilet, 1 shower, and 1 ADA shower. I chose odd times to take my shower and didn't have a problem except there's no bench and an inadequate hook. Even though the campground was pretty full the bathroom facility was clean. Horseshoe Bend Campground forbids all changing tents! A ranger make me take down mine. Two nights of my stay were sleepless thamks to screaming children in the tent next door. Lots of shade, sites were well spaced. We found a reasonable path down to the lake for kayaking. The bluffs are lovely and interesting. I will probably return but probably not during peak season. Only 15 minutes from Rogers!

Never crowded so it's like being in a private park! I was there during the weekday and it was so quiet, peaceful and clean. Horseshoe bend will definitely be on my a new addition to the campground list

We were only there for one night and stayed in site 138 , it’s the lesser of the good facilities available at the campground but it was all we needed. Grounds could use a good cleanup mowing and limb removal , pit toilet was very clean , Lake was up high due to the spring rains! Rec.gov continues to be an issue . We were there on a Thursday and also needed to stay Friday night , no one in this section of the campground when we left later in the day on Friday but they would not allow one night due to their 2 night minimum for weekends , totally ridiculous when the place is empty .. called to talk with them and that took 45 min , this is not how you should spend your vacation time . I would give our experience a 3.5 star if the ratings allowed such.

We had a section that was very flooded and muddy from the spring rain.The area could use a good clean. The bathrooms also could use a good clean. The people next to us set up camp and left two dogs alone that just barked most of the night.

This campground needs cleaning up. The one flush toilet didn’t work and had flooded the bathroom. The showers were filthy and not usable. No hiking close by-only lake activities available. We left 4 days early after only staying one night.

Fantastic campground. Brought the 30’ bumper pull and we’re right by the water. We have electricity but no water or dump at the site. The water fill was about 1/4 mile from us so it was super easy.

This place is beautiful. The water was up and part of the park was closed. Our favorite part was sitting and listening to the water. We will be back.
