Arrived and met inside to pay and get our site, we just told the attendant what our rig was and he set us up in the spot he thought would be good, which is was great! No pull thru sites, all back in but it was still fine. Bathrooms and showers were nice and clean! No sewer as it’s a state park but wasn’t far to the dump station as you leave. Not too many people there when we stayed, but it was back in November, I’m just now getting to the review.
The views of the water were beautiful. Nice playground for the kids that you can walk too as well!

Great park, I will stay here again if I'm in town.

I liked this campground! It is small and not party central like so many. It’s right on the White River and the sites are well spaced.
While my Verizon service was only 2 bars, I was able to stream Apple TV+ on my phone with no spooling.

Was slightly off our route but worth the trip. Sites are well spaced out and level. Facilities were clean and neat. We were here November 1 so I don’t know if being along the river would create a mosquito problem in the summer.
Some people mentioned gps issues. We were directed to use Avenue St. which is the way to go.

Great playground, clean bathhouses, and perhaps the quietest campground we’ve ever experienced.
It so nice you hate to review it and share ;)

The campground is nice and well maintained and sites are fairly well spaced with lots of grass, trees and open areas. The park staff were very friendly and helpful. We were in site 4 for 3 days. All of the sites looked quite level. There are quite a few depressions around the campground that filled with water when it rained, but the water tended to drain within a day or so. AT&T coverage was surprisingly good here, generally between 2-4 Bars of 5Ge service, with speeds up to 8 MB/s. There is no WiFi or cable hookup here. We were not able to get DISH satellite coverage at our site with our roof mounted dish due to the large trees around, though some sites would likely have coverage. We were also unable find any OTA DTV channels with our omni antenna.
Our RV Friendly GPS app did try to route us down a narrow gravel road to get here and also showed a section of road in the park that doesn’t exist. Even Google Maps routes you onto Redman St, which from the North, is a tight turn onto a narrow road and not one I wanted to make in our 36’ Class A with a toad. I would recommend coming into Jacksonport off of AR Hwy 69 and onto Avenue St, which is also a tight turn from the North, but the street is much wider, and is what we ended up doing - much more RV friendly.

Jacksonport has grown since we tent camped here years ago. Great new Visitors Center, still love the museum, the beach is pretty, but we miss the old Paddlewheel. Nice level sites and shaded.

Stopped here over night while traveling. Clean facilities, little buggy but you are literally on the back of the White River. Easy site to get in to, set up was a breeze. Level and paved. Grass was mowed and was a good over all appearance.
Water was down and we even got in a little fishing.
