Spadra Park

This place was beautiful. Yes there is a train that goes but it didn’t bother us. The park is beautiful. Camp host was friendly and most importantly, the showers were hot! Great overnight spot!

Needed a place to stop for the night/morning while traveling cross country in our RV. It was like 2am when we arrived, so didn't want somewhere we had to check in. Found this park while sitting at a nearby gas station, did the online reservation for $16, and parked at D5. Woke up to a GLORIOUS sight and absolutely perfect weather. This has been the nicest random overnight stop during our journey, saving for all future trips through AK!

WOW- breathtaking- clean- peaceful Forrest. If you ever want to just breathe in such calmness make sure you take a walk down this trail. It's so calm I got to see dear crossing my path and it also takes you right into the little town of Clarksville.

We booked a stay for Friday and Saturday as a quick rest stop during our travels and ended up staying a week. We originally booked D4, which was a gorgeous site and unobstructed view of the lake (so is D5), and then later moved to D1 for the full next week. All of the sites have a beautiful view. The park is well kept and the showers/bathroom are clean and private. The park is right next to train tracks, and a train goes by every few hours or so, but in my opinion it didn't detract from our stay. The park has 30amp hookups, fire rings, water on each site and can fit large RV's (ours is a 43ft). They also have a dump station that is easy to pull in and out of. Tree coverage over the sites, lake and mountain views and fishing piers. We spent a day in the Ozark National Forest which was only a 20 minute drive. Walmart and other stores are only a few minutes down the road.

One of my favorite places to offer kayak tours. A peaceful trip with an abundance of wildlife. 🦆🐦🦋

We had another beautiful afternoon at Spadra Park. The water looked especially blue today with clear skies above. We are from western NY State, but we have visited Spadra often when we are in Clarksville. The kids call it the Ark Park in Arkansas because the playground is shaped like a big boat (ark). We love using the big pavilion and grill next to the playground in the off season. There are some spots where we can hike down to the water, and the kids love tossing and skipping stones. But you certainly want to use caution along the steep ridges. Our first visit was in 2015, and we have made it a family tradition since. There is also a train track next to the park, and we usually get to see one train in an afternoon visit. When the kids hear it coming they like to run to that side of the park and watch it rumble past. Very scenic and lots of fun for family day visits.

Beautiful serene location. Very quiet except for occasional train. Clean facilities. Every space has 30 amp electric but only a few have water. No sewer at sites but there is an rv dump with fresh water. Very nice hosts. Restroom/shower facilities clean and accomodaying. Will definately he back

We stopped here to see the eclipse! Really nice park and campground.

The park attendant is a very helpful pleasant person..and the park is beautiful and well maintained

Very friendly and helpful campsite host, clean restrooms and showers. I will stay again!

Great for fishing on a boat.

Lots of boats and several trains passed by, but that didn't bother us. We had a beautiful view of the lake from our camp site. It was a very relaxing weekend. We will definitely visit again.

Had a nice experience. The campground host gentleman was really nice. It wasn't crowded so it was pretty quiet.
A storm rolled in so we emptied the back of the suv to sleep inside, the picnic table has a roof which was great.
The lake is beautiful.

Nice little campground and picnic area with bathrooms!

A woman's wedding was held there. It is the perfect venue setting ever. Has a beautiful scene of the Arkansas River and has a lot of meaning to the Western Cherokee Nation. Was originally Chief John Jolly and his brother's place for gatherings and council meetings.

Great campground! I really like the trains. Just listen to the song "City of New Orleans" and dig the vibe.

Nice large camping spaces, not pull throughs. Also boat lunch at each end of this COE camp ground. Large pavilion by playground and small one by east end boat ramp. Beautiful views of Arkansas River with some very steep cliffs or drop offs. No fencing so keep an eye on children and animals.

Campground is nice and quiet. Only downfall is the train but you can't beat the beautiful view and it is so peaceful there. Camp host ( BRIAN ) was so nice and great to work with.

This is a great little park. Plenty on space between each site. You can not ask for better hosts! I will definitely be back

Pulled in for a quickie, beautiful scenery and lake!
