Catherine's Landing

I have loved this campground and left a wonderful review. I should have waited until the end of our stay. I said before that it is too high priced.
Apparently there is no one around on the weekends.
1. Someone put a university flag on the flag poles with the USA flags on the 4th of July weekend I called the office and told them it offended me and could they take it down since we were celebrating our nation. It never was removed.
2. The rules say that dogs cannot be left unattended at a campsite. A dog was tied up as the owners went swimming and got
All twisted Around so that he was in a situation where he could not move, get water or anything. This happened all weekend. Why have a rule you are not going to follow
2. Golf carts should Not be driven by kids 10 years old. They hit the concrete road block at the walking bridge and just went on. Another one almost ran over someone’s dog and another ran their cart up into the wrong camp site, almost hit their tent.
3.there were absolutely Not suppose to have fireworks in the campgrounds. Another rule. Well, they popped them all around us. We watched them.
So rules are made but not enforced. What a shame for such a great RV site.
4. Lastly, I had a death in my family that was sudden, unexpected and involved a young person. We left on Monday instead of Tuesday. We asked for one nights rent back or a feee night when we came back and they would do neither. Heartless

This is a wonderful website. Clean, level paved sites, pull throughs, excellent help and friendly. The zip line is fun. There is a lot to do for people with kids. We love it here and will come back. This is our 2nd time to stay here. Very quiet. We drive over 400 miles to come and it is worth it. I would like to offer a few suggestions and these are meant with appreciation for the excellence you already are.
1. It is dark at night if you want to take a stroll, maybe some street lamps or solar lamps by each campsite.
2. As a senior adult on Medicare, the boats, golf carts, and other adventures are quite pricey. Maybe a senior discount??
3. We are in our late 60’s. Maybe a time for only senior adults to swim. I did not feel comfortable trying to swim with all the kids but that is just me. Others may not feel that way. It would just be nice.
4. Please don’t open up for monthly renters. To me, that degrades a campsite and we don’t like to stay where most of the sites are monthly stayers.
As I said, these are our suggestions only. Nothing changes about how wonderful the campsite is. We recommend to everyone! Thank you for being so great.

The overall rv park is good and has lots of amenities. I have a few things that were issues for us. One being the cell phone reception I have AT&T and had terrible cell phone service. The WiFi in the park was lacking as it was super slow. We did however love the boat rental on site the laundromat being so convenient but they locked up most everything at 5 pm such as the main laundromat and the gym along with sales of ice and firewood and the like. They could probably make more money if they stayed open longer.

I was somewhat put off by this place when we first arrived. Our site #29 had apparently been some dog’s favorite bathroom spot. There was several piles of poop on the pad and in the small patch of grass. I washed it off with our water hose as best I could but of course we discovered some with our shoes. That’s more of a gripe towards pet owners that don’t pick up after their pets. The campground is nice. There is plenty of room to maneuver your rig and the pads are level. We didn’t have time to take advantage of the pool and lake. We were there for a wedding and it also rained for two of the three days we were there. We have AT&T cell service and the service in the campground is very poor. WiFi is available but wasn’t very good when we were there. We did enjoy the cable tv channels. We will stay at Catherine’s Landing again if we’re in the area. When that time comes, I hope the highways and county roads are in better condition.

We arrived with no issue for the Van Leigh RV rally. A lady outside and let us know to just grab our package package from the little shed and proceed to our site. We followed the map in our package and went to waterfront site 106 with FHUs and really good water pressure. The back-in was easy. This site had a nice view and water access to Catherine Lake. Our rate reflects the two extra nights we stayed in addition to the rally package. Their WiFi was above average for a CG of this size but often with spotty connections. We also hooked up to the cable and got the 32 advertised channels. We got 1 bar on both AT&T and Verizon. There are several laundries on the property that are reasonably priced. This campground has a lot of amenities to include disc golf, zipline and kayak rentals. There are also hiking trails within this campground (CG) that we enjoyed walking our pups. There are two small fenced dogs parks, one in the upper area and other other in the lower area. The sites are nicely spaced for a private CG but still nearby. Probably the best water front sites are 101, 102, and 103. The 200 area water front sites are nice but sit farther back from the water. If you are looking for the most spacious and private sites suggest 270, 271, and especially 275. This is one of the best private campgrounds we’ve stayed in.

We were driving back from TN to TX and wanted a place to stay for a night that wasn’t a KOA or state park. This place is right on the lake and it was beautiful. The property is HUGE and has a ton of space. We did a pull through site that worked perfectly for our one night.

We would stay here again.

The WiFi didn’t work at all and att’s cell reception was fine outside of our airstream but inside, we were not able to see voice or data even though we had 1 bar.

Be sure to use the directions given in your confirmation email. GPS will bring you in the wrong way. Check in was a little long as three people were working the desk but only one was checking in guests. We were assigned site 107 which is a back-in waterfront site. The apron from the road slopes slightly but the cement pad was level. Barely enough to accommodate our 38' TT and our GMC 2500, but it worked. Site has a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Lovely grounds and a great view of the lake/river. Full hookups including cable worked well. Wi-fi was fast but over the 5 days we had to small outages. Worked well enough to stream 4K Netflix. Picture quality of cable and OTA channels was not good at all. Went to get ice and firewood from the store only to find they closed at 5 pm which is a little early we thought. Not too much of a problem as Hot Springs shopping is only 15 minutes away. We used Kroger, Lowe's, and Best Buy. Friendly staff all around. They pick up trash twice daily. This was more of a "work-ation" for me so did not take advantage of the amenities but there are lots of things to do if you are up to it. Noise was minimal. We had small children in the site next to us with a couple of screamers in the group but what are you gonna do. Our time there was pretty laid back. Filled up on the weekend but otherwise about 40% full during the week. We'd definitely go back. On the pricier side of the scale, but they deliver on what they promise.

This was my first RV experience. I was in a rented RV that I HATED because of a lack of storage space.
The weather in mid-August was miserably hot but we found water activities to keep us cool.

The campground was quiet even on Friday night as the park filled with weekenders joining the fun.

Everything worked at the hookups and all were well maintained.

Our interactions with the staff from schedulers to mantainenance supervisor to trash gatherers were pleasant. The shower facility I used was perfectly clean with all the hot water I wanted.

The pad was perfectly level for our back-in space. Plenty wide and we were on the river, as requested.
When we went swimming at the lodge I was permitted to move my Class B to a pad close to the pool so my 91 year old mother didn't have to walk 3 blocks in the heat. Very accommodating of the staff.

Cell service was always good but WiFi was unpredictable especially on Friday night as all the weekenders settled in.
