Video: Little Red River at JFK Campground | Heber Springs, Arkansas



Last week we went with my parents for a day and a half to the Little Red River at the John F. Kennedy Campground in Heber Springs, Arkansas. This video shows just a snippet of the area. In addition to the campground and river, there’s a visitor center, dam, fish hatchery, and Collins Creek you can visit at this location. There's also a swimming area nearby on Greers Ferry Lake. On this trip we took my parents' small camper to have a place to relax, eat, and use the restroom. There are public restrooms and picnic areas available. We didn't sleep overnight as we wouldn't all fit in the camper. My parents have a house in Greers Ferry which is nearby so we drove back there for the night. My parents have a discount to all U.S. Corps of Engineers campgrounds, so they reserved a camping space so we could all really enjoy our two days at the river and relax. I'm six months pregnant, so it was nice to have air conditioning available in the camper when I started swelling and to have a place to sit and nap when we got a rainstorm on the second day. My parents brought our daughter camping here last month, and she absolutely loved it.
