This is a very friendly, clean, spacious RV park. All utility services worked fine. It has large hardwood trees that provide a good mixture of shade and sunlight which is appropriate during the hot summer when we stayed recently last week (June 26-27, 2009). The campground is far off a small road and has no deleterious background highway noise. We met several other very nice families and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The owners seem genuinely interested in serving the public.

COMMENTS: Dogwood Springs RV and Campground, Jasper Arkansas • Rude, dishonest, physically threatening, and verbally abusive proprietor and family (Doug Wenzel, wife Tammy, and daughter Tara). • Small, cramped, claustrophobic RV park immediately adjacent to and in plain site of SH 7. • Unappealing, unkempt and overgrown landscaping. • Only a few sites are capable to accommodate a 28-ft trailer. • Sites are too narrow for campfire and awkward to erect an awning. • Poison ivy vines on large tree adjacent to utility hookups. • Office area looks like a used car lot with numerous parked vehicles of family and friends. • Cable TV line strung diagonally from ground to main service pole creating walking hazard especially at night. Electric service appeared to consist of obsolete equipment. We strongly recommend using another campground in the surrounding area. This is the worst, most unaccommodating, stressful, and hostile facility we’ve experienced in 30 years of traveling. After driving 6 hours to Jasper for a festival, we arrived at Dogwood Springs RV Park on June 25th, 2009 at 1 PM. Although it was 2 hours before their stated check-in time (3 PM), we requested a site since several were vacant. We anticipated staying 3 nights. Ms. Tammy Wenzel and daughter Tara reluctantly agreed but charged us a $2 per person early fee. We registered for 3 adults and properly notified them that we anticipated 2 additional adults for a very short time during dinner and breakfast. My wife and I then set up our 28-ft trailer. Shortly after 3 PM, I returned to the office and requested removal of trash that filled a portable fire pit. These simple requests evidently triggered unimaginable, inappropriate, and unwarranted hostilities. During dinner that evening, the owner, Mr. Doug Wenzel approached our campsite and became extremely hostile to our entire party. His M.O. was to approach individuals including my wife very close with an accusational finger directly in our face. He yelled obscenities repeatedly, accused us of having unauthorized guests and wanted us to leave the campground immediately which we declined. He then demanded that we leave by 11 AM the next morning. At this time Mr. Wenzel again approached our site and I met with him to get a refund for the remaining 2-nights for which I pre-paid. We walked to the office where he refused to refund my money . We both left to stay at another RV Park nearby.
