Gulpha Gorge Campground in Hot Springs National Park is one
of the best campgrounds we have stayed in a National Park. There is everything
one needs with the exception of showers, 30 and 50 amp, water and waste
hookup's. The cost is $24 per night, but if you have an access pass or senior
citizen pass issued by the parks service the cost is $12.
We looked at all the
sites in the campground and we did not see one bad site. A few of them at on an
incline but those were not too bad. The Gulpha river runs along the outer edge
of the campground and if you are a brave soul who needs showers. Sandee and I
decided to give it a try after a long day of crystal hunting. The sun was going
down and the water was cold when we took the plunge, but it was refreshing
enough that we could go to bed having washed all the dirt off us. For those who
think we used soap and polluted the water, think again. We would not pollute
the water with manmade products, we used the natural sand in the river bottom
to clean our self's. Of course the next day went back into Hot Springs to take
the waters at the Quapaw spa again where we really cleaned up.
If you like to camp
in a tent of an RV this is the campground to visit. There was plenty of shade
in each site and a good amount of space between sites.
