Area Attractions
Maybe it's
the excitement of casinos / horse racing, a scenic train
ride through the Boston Mountains or a 1400 year old Indian
archaeological site that intrigues you. Area attractions can
keep you on the go for days. Located in the picturesque
forested and rolling hills of Eastern Oklahoma / Western
Arkansas, this modern big (and small) rig campground has
beautifully manicured grass and mature shade trees. It's
easy to relax with cable TV and WIFI. You'll get a good
night's sleep in this quiet get-away refuge away from
trucks, trains or airplanes. Campers surveyed from across
the country made this campground a Founders Award winner for
2 years straight. Those that come here say: Nice, Very Nice!
