We came in for dinner, curious what the food would be like after the place changed hands (in March?). We started with 5 smoked wings, which were excellent, with a soft moist chicken with a nice crispy skin around. The dipping sauce tastes like bought (ranch?) sauce, and we highly recommend that they either find a sauce that tastes less like preservatives or make their own. The 1/4 smoked rack of ribs, served with a smoked baked potato and beans were excellent!!! The smokiness of the ribs is superb, as is the baked potato. My suggestion is to ask the customer if they want the BBQ sauce on the

Second time we've stayed at this terrific small park. It's clean, the owners are very nice, sites are all level and pull thru. The laundry was clean and reasonably priced. There's not much in the town of Arco to do but it's close to Craters of the Moon and a great stopover between major cities and national parks. A must is the small restaurant they have on site. Outstanding BBQ and the potato salad is literally the best I've ever had.
