With only 7 sites positioned near one of the boat ramps, Lake Frierson State Park Campground runs small by design. Reservations are available through AR State Parks, and electric and water hookups are on-site, though RVers should note there is no sewer dump station here. The nearest option is Crowley's Ridge State Park Campground, roughly a 10-minute drive away. Sites sit close to the water, giving campers direct sightlines over the lake.
Anglers tend to find this spot worth the stop. The lake draws fishing activity, and the boat ramp access makes launching straightforward. Privacy is limited, as the campground sits adjacent to the public access road, and foot traffic from day visitors passes nearby. That said, the campground sees low overall use, and reviewers note it stays clean and the sites are spacious given the small footprint.
Facilities are functional but basic. Showers are listed as available, though at least one reviewer noted finding only vault toilets during a 2021 visit, so it is worth confirming current amenities before arrival. Pets are allowed, picnic tables are provided, and campfires are permitted. One reviewer described it simply as "very clean and spacious," which aligns with the low-traffic patterns others mention. Campers who want places to camp near Lake Frierson State Park with more hookup variety may find the surrounding area worth exploring. This campground makes the most sense for anglers or overnighters who want water access without a large, busy facility.
