Situated just six miles north of Buena Vista, the campground provides direct access to the Arkansas River for kayaking, fishing, or even gold panning.

Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, and amenities like remodeled restrooms, free showers, laundry facilities, and a deluxe dump station ensure a smooth stay.
