Craighead Forest Park, Arkansas

Already starting to plan our April/May 2021 trip. Any one have any first hand experience with Craighead Forest Park near Jonesboro, Arkansas? Found & read a couple of reviews which all seem nice, but am looking for more info from a users point of view.
Thanks for any & all info.
  • Nice park by a small lake. Only $15 for an electric site. Stayed here three times. Nothing fancy, but a good place for a couple of nights
  • Another great place just east of Poplar Bluff is a Corp of Engineer Park called Redman Creek. It's all cement pads, full-hookups and with your senior pass ( if you qualify for the federal pass) is $14 night. Locals tend to book it for weekends, but there are usually sites during the week. Reservation only at recreation.gov website.
  • Have stayed there a few times.Nice place to rest up.I have friends in Jonesboro,Ak and would stay there most of my visits.Not your frills park.Just clean camping,maybe hiking,I don’t know because I am no hiker.

    Could you double check that? Poplar Bluff in what state?

    ***Disregard. I found it. Missouri.
