Site 11 was close to the stage and pavilion. Great spot, excellent views, and the staff responded quickly when the bathroom needed attention.

We really enjoyed the park even though the weather wasn’t very good. The sites are spacious and we liked the lake view we had. We also visited Hot Springs National Park, which was a beautiful drive to it but disappointing as a NP.

I’ve been coming to blue mountain lake for 35 years fishing and enjoying friends. We go up on top of Mount Magazine and have lunch. To Booneville and enjoy the wonderful restaurants there. The crappie fishing is great most years depending on the wind. This year was the most wind that I have ever experienced and caught very few fish but always enjoyed the fellowship with all my friends. I left 5 days earlier than I had booked and forgot to cancel the rest of my reservation but hopefully I’ll have better luck next year
