While this is an older park without many amenities, it is a handy place for overnight stopovers when traveling out I-30. We have stayed here many times for a number of years. We know that we can always pull into a long, level site without disconnecting our tow vehicle and have 50 amp service. The highway noise has never bothered us; probably because we are running the air conditioning. If you pass this park up, it's a pretty good distance across Arkansas heading east until the next park. We definitely will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The interstate noise is very loud. The sites consist of mostly people that live there. We stayed here a year ago, and it has not changed for the better. They need to upgrade a lot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have used this park before to overnight while traveling. It's easy on and easy off the interstate and that is all that matters. Not a destination park but great for travelers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Clean, well kept, but old and had many permanent residents. Very close to the highway-lots of truck noise all night. Very convenient on and off and fine for a day or so. We were there for 3 days and would not use it as a base for sight-seeing again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is clean and maintained well. Pull thru sites in the back are long and level. We had no trouble navigating the interior roads and site with our 43' motorhome. Site was open with good satellite reception. While just off I-30, we were not bothered by road noise. We will continue to use this campground for overnight stays. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The laundry was a little inconvenient. The camp ground was very close to the interstate. You heard the traffic all day and night long. It was easy to get to. The host was nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here on the way to and from Virginia for Christmas. For a one nighter this is fine. Easy to get around in and fairly level. I would probably stay here again for the convenience. Folks were very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Definitely a one-night stay place. Somewhat confusing directions when exiting I-30 westbound. A big dirt parking lot with the last two rows seemingly reserved for one-night stays. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was a stop-over just to get off the road so we could eat and sleep. The park was old with sites that had been redone to accomodate larger rigs, although they were not level and still rough. No store for purchasing needs and restrooms we didn't even look for. Would not stop again, the price wasn't reflective of what was provided. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy to access from I-30. Excellent transit park, pull throughs for any size. no special amenities,town of Benton is a town with all the restaurants,Lowes, etc you could want. Utilities well located for easy access. Will stay here again in transit to TN/NC. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is just an average campground, nothing special, but alright for overnight. About 75% of the sites have permanent residents on them. Overnighters are in the back of the park. Sites are level pull thrus, so you don't have to unhook. The park is big rig friendly. The office is an A-Frame, probably used to be a KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is right on I-30 but rather hard to get to. Follow the directions in the Trailer Life Directory. Roads are gravel. Sites are gravel & level with some side by side hookups. Big rigs will have no problem here. There are a lot of permanent residents, but they are mostly on sites away from the overnighters. We always stay here when traveling through Benton. We camped here in a Motorhome.
After my wife and I bought opur first trailer, I wanted to take it out and learn how to set it up before we took it to Branson. I wanted to stay close in case anything happened so we stayed here (less than three miles away from home). The man that I talked to first was very nice and helpfull. The office staff was all right, but did answer my questions. I was suprised at how nice and clean the bathrooms were. The park was very clean. Even though it is just down the street from me I plan on going back just to get away from the home life sometimes. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Large gravel pull-thru's and shaded back in sites. Access off of I-30 made somewhat
challenging by the road construction. Mild highway noise. Friendly staff, large pavilion and meeting room available. Will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the second time we have stayed at this nice quiet park. Although close to I-30, the road noise almost non-existent. Friendly owner who guided us to roomy pull-through site. Most local TV stations (except CBS) were available with our roof antenna. Very nice overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I chose this campground from a sign on I-30, mainly because I was tired of driving! I got there at about 8 pm. The office was closed, but there was a note saying to "fill out" the envelope and drop it in the mail slot. The envelope had nothing to fill out. Apparently you are supposed to put the money in for the night and leave it. It was odd that there were no forms to fill out. I called both phone numbers listed at the office, but got only voice mail. The sites are mostly dirt/gravel, and did not seem very level. I chose a paved site, which was $2 more, but nice and level. The bathrooms/showers are "rustic," but the water was hot and clean with no odor. The next morning I called and got the manager, who came out after about 15 minutes and took my check. He was very friendly, like most people in the South! I would probably stay here again, but I really wish they would get Wi-Fi, as I missed that. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stopped for 3 nights in the rainy season so it rained all three days over the weekend. The sites are long. There are pull throughs that are elevated and long enough for the bigger rigs. The owner was very friendly and helpful. There are lots of trees in this park so we had difficulty getting satellite with our dome. We fortunately had a portable dish. The exit back onto I30 going toward Missouri is directly across from JB Baxley Rd and the entrance to the park. You just pull across 69 and onto the entrance ramp. This is not marked so can be tricky. We would certainly stop here again. No WiFi and no cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A little hard to find if you take the wrong exit, thank you Garmin. Be sure to take exit 106 and follow the signs. JB's is a small park tucked back in the woods off of I-30. You do get some road noise from I-30 but not bad. The pull-through sites are very large and spaced nicely. Laundry facilities are in the restroom which were all clean and well maintained. Very nice stop on our way west. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a fine place for an overnight stop. Easy on/off highway and easy to find and no noticeable highway noise. They offer no discounts but at $21 night I guess it shouldn't be expected! The pull thru sites are long enough although there is a hill either into or out of all of them. There is a lot of space for dog walking around the property. This is mostly a seasonal campground but the residents were pleasant enough. We would return here for a night or two if we are in the area again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park with friendly staff. A lot of tree cover, quiet and peaceful. Everything well maintained and very clean. Highly recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great little campground in the pines. Welcomed and escorted to the only totally level site we've had on our trip. We didn't even need to unhook from the truck! Told to settle in and come pay later. Very friendly, lots of room. We walked part way around the pond. There are a number of long-term RVs but nothing looked trashy. Very pleasant stay, easy in and out, good truck stop across the highway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
