Fantastic location. Exceptionally well kept beautiful park. Hosts were very understanding when I arrived extremely late in the evening and went over and above to accommodate me. I would highly recommend this RV park.

Weekend Trip to FHU Resort in Hot Springs Nat Park

Clean RV and beautiful RV park. The RV park had a bathhouse, showers, toilets, washer, dryer games to borrow. The neighborhood had everything you needed and Hot Springs National Park only 15 minutes away. Josh and Stacey were quick to respond and very courteous. Based on their hospitality and cleanliness I give them 5 gold stars! Thank you for sharing your RV with my family. My Dad now wants to purchase a recliner with the heating and massaging features as the two in your RV. It was perfect after a long drive.

This place looks new and clean. Great for RV camping but not for tent camping. Coffee and donuts were set out Saturday morning.

The entire area was pristine! The lounge area with restrooms and showers was fantastic. It was air conditioned with a couch to relax on, TV to watch with snacks available to purchase. The property was centrally located with easy access to the Hot Springs Natl Park. Check in and access was efficient with timely text correspondence. Would definitely stay here again.
