Pendleton Bend

Nice campground. We got here in late afternoon, hardly anyone here. As I’ve read in reviews in other apps, the C01-03 sites on the slight rise to the left, right by the Arkansas River, are the prime spots IMHO. Bathrooms and showers are across the road in the B loop. No attendant on duty, but we did see a ranger patrolling from time to time. We were able to reserve and pay online at Recreation.gov. Occasional tugboat pushing barges up or down the river. :-) We barely had 1 bar of 4G/LTE for ATT, and even that dropped out occasionally. Bathrooms & showers looked clean. There is a good sized dumpster in the day-use area by the boat ramp.

If you like remote and not used by other RVers, this spot is for you. PROs: * 50A electric and water at sites in the A loop; * 3 sites on Arkansas River in C loop had 30A electric but lack of shade for summer camping; * Large shade trees at most sites in A loop and level. CONs: * No personnel for check in and only saw a 'COE' park truck once; * Very remote and no RVers, fishermen or boaters; * no dumpsters for refuse but did find one garage can by the showers, filled with building debrie and beer bottles; * the shower facility was being worked on during the two days (roofing?) so didn't feel comfortable using facilities; * no biking or walking trails; * we use over the air antennae and there was no channels.
