Cranfield Park Campground

Good shade and lake side sites, not all in shade. Great internet, showers, water electric. All the army cor sites here very nice. Seems to be good Verizon all around. Neighbors said Att good also. 11 with pass s senior.

We are fans of staying in national and state parks, and Army Corps of Engineers (COA) campgrounds, which this campground is. When we visit my husband's parents here in Mountain Home, AR, this is the place we try to stay. Our first stay here was July and we had a site higher up the hill which was spacious, under the trees, and we could glimpse the lake through the trees. This trip (we leave tomorrow) we have a site right on the lake which is beautiful. We only pay $22 and have water and electricity (would be $11 with the USGS Senior Access Pass). The sites close to the water are a bit closer together than those up the hill, but I dont feel we are crammed together). The campground hosts are wonderfully sweet. The bathroom and shower facilities are certainly adequate (concrete and wood structures, nothing fancy). Reservations are required for all sites before occupying, which we did easily through Recreation.gov.

Site 20 was dirty when we arrived, the water spigot is 20 feet on the opposite side of the camper, it leaked so we had to use the one for site 19, thank goodness no one was on that site or we would have had to move. It was difficult to get our 40’ fifth wheel into so wouldn’t recommend staying here for a big rig. Also right by the roadway coming down to the lake and other sites so many speeders going past. No privacy at any windows and scenery. The photo on the web site is deceiving.
