Horrible roads. Gravel from the south that Google Maps directed us as a ‘passable’ road… The road on the north is patched pavement and not a whole lot better!
Vault toilets
Water in each camping loop
Water activities. Fishing, boating, etc.
Good cell service.
Several toilets and showers out of service!

Notes
Wildlife is limited as this is a camping area to service the lake activities.
Dirt pads that are not close to being level after being rutted by rain and scraped to smooth.
No shade in this park!
Some pads are elevated and look into the neighbors.
2021 has been a wet summer so far more green grass!
Remember… Bison have the right of way!
This is such a clean park and fun to explore.

Wildlife!
We enjoyed watching the burrowing owls, quail, bison, dung beetles and tarantulas.
Fortunately we captured several photos of the bison on our arrival day. After the overnight storms, they disappeared into the canyons and were not visible the next two days.
This is a nice sized park with space for tents, trailers and RVs.
There were hot showers and fairly clean.
The pads are spaced for some privacy.
We were surprised how quiet this park was, given the proximity to the city and Interstate.
The location was very convenient from the interstate.
No playground that we found.
Nice and shady

Notes
Pads not level, some rigs may be challenged finding a level spot
No walkable path down to lake. The camp area is up 1-200′ from the lake level and we did not discover any park-provided nor camper-made trails to the lake.
We were in the Turkey Pass Campground on Discovery Cove on this stay.
This was our second stay in this ‘park’… (it actually has several campgrounds in the park but each is separated and distinct). Our first stay is posted here for the Little Axe Campground.
The park was quiet and clean.
Coin-operated showers had nice warm water and were in good shape.
A nice host made certain we enjoyed our stay.

As mentioned, there are several distinct campgrounds around the lake. Each is accessible with different access points from the highways. Be certain your navigation tool has the right destination selected!

Notes
There were plenty of deer in the afternoon and evening all through the campground.
We were warned by the host to keep food locked up as the raccoons were active in the park.
This is one of the busiest campgrounds we have been to… almost every site was filled and we were one of the few without children/grandchildren! (don’t get us wrong, we love taking our grandkids along too… it’s just that EVERY site had kids!) 🙂
There are two shower / bathroom units in the camping area, both were clean and fresh.
Two playgrounds for kids and outdoor activity space that was well consumed.
Washers and dryers were in shower building,

Notes
The sites and pads were hit and miss on being close to level. ours was 8” front to back and backing in was like parking in a ditch as we probably dropped 3-4′ from the road to the pad.
Golfing was available nearby as several campers were up early to hit the links!
This is a small campground, (only 20 or so sites), along the Arkansas River East of Little Rock.
The pads are level and nicely spaced, however, no privacy as the area is wide open under mature trees.
The pad numbers that are higher are closer to restroom and shower building at the end of a single drive.
This campground is next to the river… bring your bug spray! 🙂
There is a nice playground area and basketball court on the entry end of the campground drive.
Some tables are covered.

Notes:
There was no one on hand for check-in / check-out which seems to be happening more often during the pandemic.
No campground map, (printed or posted), was available.
