Stayed for 2 days as a break from traveling in Motorhome. Very relaxing and quiet campground. 10/22/2020

It's a great campground. We enjoyed our stay so much we're coming back in 2 weeks. 10/22/2020

We wanted a few days away and found the Hot Springs KOA had cabins available. We were able to bring our four legged family members so that closed the deal. The cabin was just what we needed, plenty of room to eat, sleep, shower... 10/22/2020

Absolutely amazing. Clean cabins and friendly helpful staff. Also pet friendly! 10/21/2020

Thought we had a reservation but apparently we did not. Completely our fault. They were full as it was already late in the day, but Jeff managed to find us a spot. Very helpful and accommodating. Very convenient access and close to Hot Springs. 10/21/2020

The spot I was in L4 was difficult to get level in. It was pretty tight, hard to move around in the site. The Campground is nice and clean, and close to attractions. There are better sites then the one I got. Reserve Early! 10/20/2020

Very nice good location 10/20/2020

We had to change our arrival date due to expected heavy rains and winds and the associate manning the phone was very polite and quickly adjusted our arrival date. On arrival we noted the campground looked well maintained and aesthetically pleasing... 10/19/2020

Fabulous weekend - this campground is wonderful! Staff is great, shuttle service is fantastic, and we had the best few days staying here. I highly recommend this KOA campground for anyone going to Hot Springs! 10/19/2020

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.

There is no better place for family fun in Hot Springs than Magic Springs and Crystal Falls. Arkansas' only water and theme park.

Splash around in the Crystal Falls wave pool. Catch waves on the Boogie Blast surf simulation ride. Then dry off on high flying thrill rides, including the Arkansas Twister, the Gauntlet and the X-Coaster, which shoots 150 feet into the air and corkscrews down at more then 65 mph!

There is fun for the little ones on family and kids' rides. Plus when the sun goes down on summer Saturday nights, the lights go up in the Timberwood Ampitheater for all-star entertainers to take center stage.
