A-01 for two weeks March 3- March 15, 2025. This is a nice site with easy access to boat launch, view of the lake, and no close neighbors. The showers are close by and well maintained. Early spring here with little green. Only saw 1 gator on the lake generally see numerous. Apparently too cold water temperature mid 50's. Dump station closed and no staff at entrance. Host husband had died. They did prescribed burn while I was here which was a bit smoky. They came by and warned me. Ranger made regular rounds. Campground nearly empty. Good AT@T reception with MIFI. This site is windy with a westerly wind. Great sunsets!

Great park but beware of site A9 - the electric is not close to the site - we had them move us for we didn’t have a long enough electric cord so a standard won’t work for that site- ATT had 1 bar 5 g

Stay on the Tichnor Blacktop Road, Garmin will try to send you down a barely gravel road. Great hot shower, loved the barges. Will stay longer next time, would love to see Arkansas Post.

I stayed in site D-9 for two weeks ending November 29, 2020 in a truck camper with three kayaks. On the Arkansas Post and Lake Merrisach close to where the Arkansas and White Rivers empty into the Mississippi. I paddled the White, Mississippi and the lake, very enjoyable. Near a large wildlife reserve so campground about 50% filled mainly with hunters. Inexpensive with senior pass. Rest room showers clean. Sites have water and electric, park will maintained with asphalt drive ways.. Most sites spacious with good water views. Easy to get satellite with dish and Verizon was strong enough for good internet. One of my favorite campground s on the way south. Site is 30 or so miles from biggest town Dumas which has an excellent Mexican restaurant - El Torro. My only disappoint was that I was only able to find one crocodile in the lake generally I see a few. Maybe next time!!

Nice camp ground on the Arkansas River.
We stayed in the B loop to be close to the playground for the kids but D loop is the nicest. Campsite was clean. If you stay somewhere other than the D loop you will need 50 to 75 feet of water hose. I did not see any sites with sewer hookups. Our pad was almost completely level.
We will definitely be going back.
