Greetings from Texas

My wife and I have just taken possession of our new 2016 27RKSS. This is actually, the second 27RKSS we've had in 2.5 months.

The first one, was totaled out, less than 30 minutes after leaving the dealership. A young driver pulled out in front of me in an intersection as, I was approaching it. With nowhere to go, we connected and both my truck and trailer were totaled.

Anyway, we will be going to a local campground this weekend to get to know our new trailer. Then, it will be off for a week of adventures!

Anyone know which campground is the best in the Little Rock/ Hot Springs Arkansas area?

Thanks!!!

We stayed in Hot Spring this spring. The National Park is nice but most sites arn't real big, we ended up staying at Catherine's Landing RV Park and really liked it. If we go back to Hot Springs that is where we'll stay again.

Catherines Landing, pricey waterfront... $60 i believe, park very nice though
Gulpha Gorge near downtown on a stream, just beautiful, but first come first serve
Bunch of COE parks, however looks like maybe close early? Cant reserve some past September.

So glad to hear people like Catherine's Landing I think they must allow visitors past September because we'll be there the early part of October
