There are numerous locations alongside the river and the water flow is impressive. The spots are not crammed together. During my visit, it was peaceful with no unpleasant odors. The campground manager was amiable.

Campground is very nice as noted by others. However the International Paper Mill is immediately next door and runs 24/7. The smell and noise cause headaches and nausea. Previous campers must be very tolerant to have not been bothered by this.

Nightly rate reflects America the Beautiful pass discount. We stayed at Old Post for two nights. Our site was right on the river. Site was spacious with a covered picnic table and sites were nicely separated. Little by way of leveling needed. The showers were excellent, the campground was clean, and quiet. We could hear the paper mill downstream a bit when the wind was right. We enjoyed watching a barge going up the river to the locks at the damn. We hiked in nearby Mount Nebo State Park, a beautiful treat. Russellville was a good place to re-provision as well.

Enjoyed a night stroll down to the reservoir after a long day on the road. Easy access from highway, clear directions, lots of widely spaced sites.

We stayed here for 13 days in July. This campground is very clean and well kept and the only dings we had were that one of the men's showers were broken and the dump site pavement is broken and uneven. It is on the river and just downstream from the Lock/Dam. Our spot was a water view site, but they are set up high, so you do not have access to the water. It was awesome to watch the barges come by after going through the lock. There is a boat launch in the campground, but being so close to the dam, it is really only a boat launch because of the currents. The campground is connected to a park (cannot drive due to a gate) and it was great for walks daily. The only drawback to the location is that it is right by the paper mill and if the wind was just wrong, it would overpower the campground. There was also the hum of the plant running 24/7. Overall a good ACE Campground and very underutilized.

We stayed at 4 COE campgrounds in the last 10 days over 2,000 miles traveled. This one was the nicest. Big open spots, could easily fit big rigs in. Camp host was great also.

Ten bucks a night (with a senior pass discount) at a great campground? It simply can't be beat!! It was so good, we decided to up our stay from 5 to 11 days, despite having to relocate sites. Each site has 50 amp electric and water and an extra wide pavement area at the front for parking a second vehicle. There is a dump station just inside the camping area. Each site is large, long, paved and level in among mature trees. Campground is well cared for and had clean bathhouses and good showers with plenty of room and good water pressure. Of the two sites we stayed in, we preferred B36, which backed up by the river and had a great deal of space and privacy. One end of the park backs up to a huge city park with a great disc golf course (which is great to just hike), picnic shelters, ball fields, tennis courts and a sand volleyball court. The park is on the south end of Russellville and convenient to numerous dining and shopping options. Mount Nebo State Park is just a few miles from here and there is a spectacular hiking trail around the top of the mountain there which offers stunning valley views. Another home run for the COE and we would most definitely return here.

Corp of Engineers have done a great job with this park, the grounds are lush and green. Well taken care of. We did not have reservations but looked it up on recreation.gov and saw availability but wanted to make sure it was a nice campground. The front gate said to drive around pick a site see if it was available on the website, book it, And let them know what site we were on they have nothing to do with it. Green grass, fire ring and big trees on every site, there is plenty of space in between the sites, electric(50 amp) and water hook ups. The dump is at the front gate. There is 1 bath shower house but we did not use it . The park was maybe 1/4 full, which is mind blowing. There is great cell service but no tv antenna reception, I did see a few campers with their satellite out. The grounds here are spectacular there is a park on the north end of the campground and the dam is at the end of the park maybe 1/2 a mile up so the water on our end was low. And we had no flies or mosquitoes.

We had some problems on the road and needed a place to stop for the night close to businesses where we could get the things we needed to make repairs. This campground was the perfect place, close to everything we needed but quiet and peaceful. The campsites are spacious and very level. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring and grill.

As others have said.. very nice campground. I must add the restrooms/showers were clean and the camp workers were very friendly. Lots of great walking areas. Site was level. Would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful park with lots of trees located along the AR River. The sites are large (big enough for a big RV, a vehicle, and a boat), very level, and fairly private. The park was easy to get to, had lots of great places to walk/hike (on-site and within driving distance), and there are groceries/restaurants/gas nearby. Sites are 50amp/water, there is an easy to access dump station (either direction), and our T-Mobile worked great. The park staff and camp host were friendly and helpful, and we would definitely stay here again.

We decided to stay at this park due to mileage as we move east. The park is rather small but has long back in sites with picnic tables and fire rings with lots of distance from your neighbor. One side of the park has sites overlooking the river but up on a hill so floading isn't a problem. Most of the sites slope slight backwards which made leveling the rear of the coach an issue. Make sure you have leveling blocks or wood on hand. We didn't do much outside due to the 95 degree heat and very high humidity. There is a very nice day use park at the end of the campground with a Disc Golf course, basketball, softball, and playground. The beach is on the opposite side of the river. The park is located by one of the locks on the river and has a nice Visitor Centers.
