Over all, a very nice military RV spot to stay at for a night or a week.
Downside, no washer/dryer at the site, there are machines at building 1349, they are used by everyone training at the base, so they can get a bit gritty with sand, they do however work and are free. There is only a small PX shop near the entrance of the RV site. They cater to the units that come here to train. Make sure you have everything you need before you get here. (no RV supplies) and limited on food stuff, though great on military stickers, clothing and alcohol. No gas station on base.
A Cold War era former Army base closed in the mid 80s, I think. Where Elvis Presley reported for military duty. The Army barber shop that cut his hair is now a museum. Parts of the base have been given over for civilian use and some is now Arkansas National Guard property. The base is distinctive for having many of its WWII wooden barracks still in use by National Guard unit who train there now.
If it wasn't for the chiggers and gnats...
Horrible place for trainning. Great place to receive abuse.
Love it here, I'm here often and come sometimes just for fun.
Having said all this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and looking forward to coming here again.
Upsides, quiet, good view of the mountains, small lake. All sites are gravel with full hook ups, BarBQ, fire pits, (wood is furnished) there are only two pull through. There is a camp host, who is cordial, friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. The staff at the check in, are also friendly and helpful. Sites are inexpensive, at $11, though there is a reason for it.
Authentic military meals that are catered for you, beautiful views of Impact Zone, vintage accommodations that Elvis stayed in.
