Stephens Park Recreation Area

"Nice campground for any time of year, even the middle of March if you bundle up. Staying here ($30) is honestly a better move than staying at a cruddy hotel in Hot Springs ($50) if you have camping gear."

"The campsite itself is quite nice. The sites are all gravel and level. We stayed in site 4. Site 7 has the sewer connection uphill of the site. Being right next to Lake Hamilton River is very pleasant/picturesque. However, the restrooms are unacceptable. The men’s room toilet was backed up and unusable the entire week. The showers have hot water but the hooks are broken so there is nothing to hang towels on but a small toiletries shelf."

"Great campground, only nine spots, which is awesome in my opinion. Alll sites are also full hook up with water, electric and sewer. There are nearby walking trails and although I've yet to catch a fish in the lake just below the dam, I know of several people who have caught a decent size catch. They have a pavilion you can rent and it also has a small playground area for the kiddos."

"Cutest little campground and I mean little! Only 9 sites but lots of room between sites. Right on the river at the base of the dam, water is crystal clear and calm. Boat dock on the other side of the river so easy access. Full hookups and a large bathroom with nice showers on site. Not far from Hot Springs so great location!"

"Beautiful campground with great amenities and hot showers. Staff are around cleaning and watching over the area daily. Only a handful of campsites are available, but it's quiet, spacious and the lake is wonderful. Electric hook up includes various types of plugs. See pictures for more details."
