This is a nice park about 10 miles outside of Hot Springs. We decided we'd like to visit Hot Springs on our way west and chose this park. Our site was next to the road which wasn't so great on one hand, but it did allow us to meet some nice people who passed by and wanted a tour of the TD. They were a couple who were there from Colorado with their 2 kids. They said thay had just graduated from a VW camper to an Airstream. They were there to show their kids the area because the husband's gret great grandfather (Fordyce) had built several buildings in Hot Springs in the 20s. He told us that one of the buildings was a famous bathouse that had gone out of business some time ago but had been given to the National Park Service and restored to its original state. It is now a museum. Jolley and I decided to take an extra day here to give us time to visit Hot Springs. The following day we did. You can see some of the pictures we took. In addition to the campsite, there is one of the Fordyce Bath House (from across the street) and several of the inside (the glass ceiling in the men's bath area, the gym on the third floor, and the lobby). Hot Springs is a pretty neat place to visit. The next day we headed west. --- Dave
