JFK is an absolutely beautiful campground, Shade is abundant with towering trees and wildlife everywhere. The restroom facilities are clean and well kept. We loved our 3 day stay there.

@SkylerD6F4FB1E · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #A3
Wonderful campground. Clean and quiet. Didn't use the campground restrooms, so I can't comment on those. The river was so close and beautiful. Will be back soon. Our campsite was directly in front of the fish hatchery but it wasn't noisy or disrupting. The staff at the office were wonderful and polite.
@FloydG3C906434 · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #D19
Excellent park for overnight or 2-week stay. Very clean and well-maintained restrooms and common areas. Plus, the trout fishing is not bad either.

Just a family friendly location. Peaceful.

The campground had everything I expected when I booked it for a late summer trip the cooler air from the littl3 red river kept cool. I was there on 95 degree days and it felt like lower 8os with the shade. If there was a negative I'd say it was the shower house, it didn't have enough circulation to get rid of thr hot air. I stayed in section d which was nice bit I think c would be the best.
@samanthal67272 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #D25
I choose this place over anywhere I have been so far its so nice and laid back everyone is very nice and the restrooms and bath house are cleaned very very well by Stephanie she does an excellent job. Thanks so much you make the stay so very worth it!

Nice stay. I like being on the river side of the dam. Although, above dam the sites are really awesome with a great swimming area.
@RandyH9893483 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #C4
Always the place to go
@RichardP6DB07B · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #B16
Always enjoy staying at JFK. The people friendly at check in and park rangers are constantly checking camping grounds. The campers are always friendly and very helpful if you have a issue while camping there. The showers and restrooms are usually clean for the campers. My wife is not a camper, but she prefers JFK when she goes.
@TerryY9212522 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #D7
Campground was really nice. The camping spots were very large and lots of shade. I really enjoyed the privacy. The bathhouses need a little attention the showers for the men are kind of outdated. But overall we had a good experience here. Not much cell service with Metro
@KeithM6446150 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #D15

Always enjoy our time camping and fishing at jfk even if the fish are biting any lol it is a Great Park !!!!
@JimmieMDFCFF0B · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #D16
This our favorite place to camp. We usually stay in D section. The sites in D are very shaded. Some of the sites you can have a view of the Little Red River. You can get a cool breeze coming off it. There are multiple public accesses to the river. We like the fact its great for biking. Collins trail is an amazing hike, you walk along a stream that has multiple step waterfalls. You can not go wrong camping at JFK campground.
@Markand7309CD0 · Camped on May 16, 2024 at Campsite #C2
This is a great park. Our site was amazing. Husband fished. We saw baby beavers, foxes, deer, a momma duck and her 9 babies and so much more. We hiked Sugarloaf and also did some antiquing. We are already planning our next trip.

I am a "repeat-attender" to the JFK Park for many reasons, but not limited to the well-organized, neat, accommodating campsites and facilities, Along with all that there is all the gorgeous beauty of the Little Red River which also allows for some great trout fishing, kayaking, and such, and the opportunity to hike along the shady banks of Collins Creek to the series of waterfalls at its main water source which l believe is discharged from the nearby trout fish hatchery, which is also a must-see while visiting the JFK Park.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
