J & J RV PARK
Hot Springs, Arkansas

I wanted to explore Hot Springs itself from a close and convenient location so I'd have more time for exploration of the historic area of town and the National Park - really both one and the same. I chose J & J RV Park because it's only 3.5 miles from Bathhouse Row with real quick & convenient access via 70E.

This is the rear of my site #14. I was told the creek was really down and things were not as green due to the unusually dry weather they are having, but I still enjoyed having the trickling water in my backyard.
At the end of the park is a little pond. The big RVs are in the front row of pull-throughs - lots of room here. There's another row of pull-throughs between the ones you're seeing and the RVs backing up to the creek in sites 18 - 27.
I enjoyed meeting Glen & Bonnie Emerson, who were here for the Open Rally from Vivian, Louisiana. They said they've been coming here for 4 years and one of the main things that keeps them coming back is the friendliness of the owners. That's JJ (one of the owners) in the red shirt and I confirmed he didn't pay them to say that! But besides that, they also said they liked the layout of the park - that it was easy to get in and out of as opposed to the KOA across the street, which has tight sites and inconveniently placed trees.
Looking from the laundry / showers down the front row of pullthroughs.
I enjoyed having my coffee down here in the mornings - a great way to start the day!
This is a popular park for groups - they receive a discount of 10% and have use of the 20x30' meeting room with full kitchen with this patio area outside. The laundry, showers and restrooms are also housed here. They've also built a nice mini-storage compound that is available for guest use during extended stays.

Total of 46 sites - all gravel and level with full hookups; some with 30 amp and some with 50 amp. Cable TV and free wireless internet access are included in the rates.

Rates: $21.50 for 30 amp; $25.50 for 50 amps and pull-throughs. 10% discount for Good Sam members.

Note: Rates and info above are current as of September, 2006. Call the park before your visit for updates.

Malia's 2 cents: One of the things that convinced me this was the right choice was my conversations with Janice, one of the owners, while I was in the planning stages. She was always so friendly and helpful answering my many questions. Jerrel (JJ) & Janice built the park themselves in the summer of 2000 and live onsite - you can really tell when owners have a personal interest by the meticulous way the park is maintained. Go by and tell them fine folks Malia says hi!
