Close
Moving from the busy city of Chicago to the more laid-back town of Hot Springs National Park, George and Anita Barrett left behind their school teaching years to own a KOA campground. With a sense of pride and love, the whole family is involved in the operation of their KOA. The physical appearance of the campground draws visitors from near and far. It is well maintained and very pretty.
This KOA is different than most. Instead of flat grounds and sites right next to each other, the campground is built into a hillside with terraced sites, which is both aesthetically pleasing and a bit more private. The area outside of the campground is also heavily wooded.

Customer service is very important to the family, and they "provide campers with the best service possible."

The Barrett family lost Anita in 2010 to pancreatic cancer, but strive to continue her legacy of providing the best camping experience in Hot Springs. As always, the Barrett's "aim to please."

Hot Springs National Park Photo Hot Springs National Park Water. That's what attracts people to Hot Springs.

Old documents show that American Indians knew about and bathed in the hot springs during the late 1700s and the early 1800s. Their ancestors may have also known about the hot springs.

Some believe that the traces of minerals and the temperature (143 F/62 C) gie the waters whatever therapeutic properties they may have. People have used these hot springs for more than two hundred years to treat illnesses and to relax.

Both rich and poor came for the baths, and a town built up around the Hot Springs Reservation to accommodate them. Together nicknamed "The American Spa," Hot Springs National Park today surrounds the north end of the city of Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Come - touch and taste the water. The hot springs are open for all to enjoy.
