Write a reviewThere are six basic areas, each providing a picnic setup, a circle for bonfires, and plenty of space for tent setup. Restrooms and garbage disposal are conveniently nearby. The place is tidy and well-maintained. However, there's no sight of the sea. A minimum of two-night reservation is required for weekend visits.

Lake Catherine was beautiful! I had a spot right on the water. I was able to see the sunrise from my bedroom window, but I also walked out on the dock (that was right outside my door) to watch the sunrise. What a great sunrise over peaceful waters with the sounds of coyotes howling and yipping in the distance. The campground is close to the town of Hot Springs and had a nice signal, which is why I chose it. After boondocking for over a week, it was nice to hook up to run the air for a bit and take a shower. The office staff were very friendly and accommodating as well!

This is a lovely campground as people have already stated, but for us the power plant across from the campground was nosiy 24/7, even with a radio on or ear plugs to sleep at night. If you wanted to sit out, your view was the plant all lit up. Loop A is away from the lake and has updated pads. Loop B and C, whether you are on the lakeside or not, you will have a view of the lake. In Loop B, some of the pads slope down, which may be an issue for some. The sites have electrical and water. The water can be in an odd place, so be sure to have enough hose. We stayed in Loop B on the water. The sites in Loop C have water and electric and some have sewer hook ups. The pads have been refurbished and some areas are very flat and large along the lake. The bathrooms are fairly modern and clean. The water in the showers are a push button. So, you can't regulate the water temperature and will have to rehit the button to keep the water running. You are about 15 miles from the nearest gas station or grocery store, so come prepared. It's also 15 plus miles to Hot Springs National Park and about half that distance to Garvan Gardens, which are lovely. You can take a trail ride on horseback or rents boats at the marina which is located in the state park. There is a nature walk along a boardwalk and a short hike to a waterfall.

Very pretty lake perfect for water activities...we wished we had our SUPs and Kayaks. Out spot was sloped front to back and the site was a bit odd...multi-leveled but definately usable. The lake was directly behind our spot maybe 50 feet. We found perfect trees for our hammocks. Yes the plant is across the lake, but there was very little noise and very few lights at the plant while we were there. The drive to Hot Springs NP was ~ 20 - 30 minutes. The camp hosts we extremely nice, knew the area well and provided lots of great information about the campground and the other nearby parks. Restrooms and shower were clean. We had plenty of OTA TV and our verizon was good.
