Jacks Fork Campground

Our campsite was on a good sandy spot, I ran barefoot the whole time we were in our camp! Downfall to our site was that there is a playground directly beside it not joined with the campground (Broken Arrow) and there was traffic ALL night shining their headlights until around 2AM. Next night same. Pd $60 for 2nights 3people and one dog.

I got there early and the owner lady was very helpful and nice, to get me a good spot to camp. $10 primitive and $20 with electric. After a tough day of hill climbing bicycling the TransAmerica Route76, this place was conveniently close to town that serves a lot of needed supplies before heading back to camp. Unfortunately I was caught by the rain later afternoon that lasted all night till the next day after 2pm or later. SMH Lots of flying bugs too. Toilets look eh okay and the showers are eh. Not the best. Heavy deep gravel entering onto the property. Had to walk the bike. Dumpster up front. Just bad timing from the rain.

Lots of work being done & the campground is headed in the right direction. This last trip 7/24 had everything neatly mowed & buildings being repaired & repainted from past flood damage. Birdie, the camp ground host, was great to work with & helpful. Campsites are very friendly to RV or to more primitive camping with electric hookup available. Huge grassy campsites. Great spot to enjoy the Perseid meteor shower. Showers haven’t been updated yet, but were cleaner than past years. This is still our favorite campground in the Ozarks & the Maggards are easygoing kind people. Birdie is a great addition to the staff. Looking forward to returning.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The staff seem to be trying to get something off the ground. It appears the place flooded and they are starting over. The plus side first: the people were nice and helpful. They came and picked us up for our float trip. The trip ended at camp so that was nice. The site was nice. The bad: there was trash piled up at the entrance, the showers didn't work. The bathrooms were nasty. They don't offer ice or anything. People who camp spend money. What a wasted opportunity to have a thriving business! I'd actually come over more time to see if they improved. I'd recommend making a building on stilts and sell some stuff! Get trash service or some dumpsters!

Great place to float and super nice staff mean this is a great place to go camp. One star off only because after previous flooding the campground facilities are not yet totally recovered, though everything else was so great it hardly mattered.

I've stayed at Jason's throughout my life. This is my all time favorite campground out of the 100+ I've camped at throughout the US. I'm a native to the Ozark mountains, so I might be a little biased! But, Ozark folks are the best and will do anything to make anyone happy and comfortable. These two campgrounds are safe and well staffed. People from the Ozarks are hard working people, go to church and know how to have a good time! Please be respectful as the culture here is much different than any place else on earth. They're not trying to get rich, only trying to support their community in which they live. Don't do stupid stuff and you won't get an early Ozark b'day surprise! They're laid back, but will protect their guest at all cost! Southern hospitality with a little Appalachia... Be respectful and you will have a great time! Coming this weekend after 6 yrs away! Can't wait!
