Very clean and well maintained daytime camping area. Honor system to use, $5 picnic tables, fire pit and charcoal grill at each parking space.
Stayed for one night while on my way to Buffalo National River. The site sits right on the highway and is loud with trucks driving by. Also, I'm not the nervous type. But you have zero concealment from the road. Seems like a perfect spot for a criminal element at night to do something stupid and disappear. Anyone riding by can see you. And in my case, that I was the only one there.
If you're solo, do NOT stay here. It was the only place in 7 years that I have packed up and left after setting up for the night. The garbage isn't the issue. It's the people. The site is literally on the highway, so any criminal can see you're alone, rob you, and be gone in a flash. Keep in mind that we were the only car in the loop when I say all this. Within 5 minutes of setting up two locals in a beat-up truck parked next to us, pretended to fish for a minute, asked if we were staying the night and then left. Shortly after, a group parked near us, went to the muddy lake for 30 seconds, mulled around, and then got in their car and slowly left. Which would be fine. But they refused to wave or make eye contact on several attempts. Even going so far as to turn their heads when they drove by, 8 feet away. The kicker was when a run-down pickup crept in. We waved as it passed, and a Charles Manson doppelganger stared at us wide eyed, while his girlfriend nodded out in the passenger seat. They parked in the camping spot right next to us. He shook the girl and said "we're here". We casually packed up. In the time being, they went over to the bathroom, door ajar, and either shot up or smoked meth. We left. I'll say it again, this is not a safe place to stay, especially if you're alone. The dead snake, with its head cut off down by the water, should have been an omen. Or the 14 empty mountain dew cans in the fire ring.
Beautiful! I'll be back for some fishing!
Nice, & CLEAN. Very Serene. Fishing & Camping are Allowed. Has NO Water, Bring your own just in case if needed. CLEAN Restrooms. Private Setting. A Place to Stretch your Legs after a Long Drive, or decide to Stay Overnight. Highly Recommend.
