My wife and I had a great experience with this Camper. There was one issue with the water when we arrived, but John stayed with us until he was able to make a temporary fix to last us the duration which we really appreciated. I have full confidence he will get that solved permanently as soon as possible. Other than that everything worked perfectly. Propane lasted with no problems and Brittany was very communicative with the details throughout the entire process. The camper is a bit older and has some expected wear and tear, but it is a great value and definitely will give you a good experience! Would recommend and use again.

How to get to Mount Magazine State Park
Mount Magazine State Park is located on Scenic Highway 309 approximately 17 miles south of Paris; or from Danville, travel nine miles west on Arkansas 10 to Havana, then go 10 miles north on Scenic Highway 309. From Fort Smith it is roughly an hour and 20 minutes by car, and from Little Rock about two and a half hours. The final approach on Highway 309 climbs steep, winding grades with switchbacks, so RV drivers should descend in low gear, check brakes, and watch for sharp curves and wildlife. Fort Smith Regional Airport is the closest option for fly-and-rent travelers.
