About

State Park

Crowley's Ridge State Park Campground is a solid spot for anyone looking to enjoy the great outdoors in Arkansas. This place has got it all: clean sites, easy access, and a bunch of amenities to make your stay comfortable. Whether you're pitching a tent, parking an RV, or staying in a cabin, you'll find what you need here.

One of the standout features is the hiking. There are several short trails right out of the campground, perfect for a quick adventure with the family. If you're into water activities, the park has a swimming area that's been recently revamped with cleaner water. Paddle boats are available for rent from Memorial Day through Labor Day, adding a bit of fun to your stay.

The campground is pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Just be prepared for mosquitoes—some visitors have mentioned that they can be a bit of a nuisance, so pack some bug spray and maybe keep a fire going to help keep them at bay.

For those who need to stay connected, both AT&T and Verizon have decent coverage here, though the WiFi is mostly available near the office. The sites are pretty level, even though they're on a ridge, and they come with water and electric hookups. There's also a sanitary dump station for RVs.

If you need supplies, Paragould is just a short drive away with a Walmart and a Dollar General. The park itself has a small market for basic necessities. Overall, Crowley's Ridge State Park Campground offers a great mix of nature and convenience, making it a fantastic spot for a weekend getaway or a longer stay.

Great little campground near Paragould

This campground was perfect for our little family reunion near Paragould. We booked three sites together and they were close enough that it was easy to visit each other. It was also a very nice little campground with lots of shade and the bathrooms were very clean and had showers. We also enjoyed the little lake and playground for the kids. The only downside were the mosquitoes, but one of us had a screened canopy that went over the picnic table, which worked great. We were very impressed with the staff and the campground and will likely return.

We Love Crowleys Ridge

Everything about this park is amazing. They recently redid the swimming area and cleaned and refilled with better water. They have paddle boats you can rent from Memorial Day through Labor Day. We have stayed many trips in this park. Site 1 is our favorite. Features pull through with a large area including tent pad and nice gathering area. We glamp camp and we’re able to set up a 16x20 tent, but the tent did go over the size of the pad. All sites have water and electricity, except for a few primitive sites. There is a nice campground and walking area. Also a great hiking trail which isn’t too hard. The park is close to Paragould with a Walmart and a dollar general is a couple miles away. The only site I wouldn’t recommend is site 9. It has a very steep hill and would only be good for very small campers or tent camping.

Ridge sites at their best,

They did a stellar job of putting in sites on this ridge. They're pretty level although pretty close together. Water & electric and reasoonably priced. Both ATT & Verizon worked well. The wifi info listed above must be at the office only, as there was not signal near us, we use a hot spotor  our phones.

Nice small park

The park was great. The tent sites were very close together but still enough room (just no privacy.) There were a significant amount of mosquitoes. I was not expecting this 🤣 we are from Southern part of the state so we didn't think it would be any worse. IT WAS. We toughed it out, I would definitely say make sure to bring firewood to keep a fire going. It seemed to help. We loved the fact that there were 4 easy/short trails that we enjoyed with our kids and the swimming area was very refreshing after a morning of hiking.

Nice park with surprising level sites

With the word RIDGE in it's name you pretty much know what to expect. These folks made it work. All sites are pretty level. if not level. Water & electric at all sites with picnic table, fire rine and stand up BBQ grill. Nice tree lined road, albeit very tight with on comming trafic, as are their interior roads. ATT & Verizon cell services were both useable just not the strongest..

Got here Sunday afternoon there wereo only3 others. With my disability pass the one night was only $12.79, tax & all.

This was a great nightover for us and would stay here again, but not as destination park.

Good Day Hiking

Stayed one night tent camping. We enjoyed that the park had several different short hiking trails of various length. Only downside was I wish the tent camping spots were spread out a little further, you can hear eachother's conversations because they are all side by side, maybe 15 yards a part.

Unexpected Surprise!

I’m not sure why this was our first visit here, but it definitely won’t be our last! We love winter camping as we enjoy the parks when they are more quiet. I bet this place is very popular in the summer.

The campground has great tent spots and a variety of paved spots. Some are really small, so make sure to take rv length into consideration. The bathhouse is older, but clean.

There is a trail at the end of the campground that can access the trail with the swinging bridge, or you can go to the right and walk straight to the camp store right from your site! You can also walk to the lake from here.

The lake area is beautiful with a small spring fed waterfall, a swim beach area and even a slide into the water. No fishing in this lake, but there is another lake across the street that looks perfect for fishing!

Quiet trip

Well kept and very quiet campground. The weekend we went there were lots of park activities and visitors. The camping area is kept away from the rest of the park activities, which made it nice when you wanted to get back away from the crowds. Great views, hiking trails, and abundant wildlife to view. Very unleveled and rocky terrain would be only downside.

Very nice campground

This small but hidden treasure was built in the 40’s by the CCC and has been maintained throughout the years. It has a modern campground, hiking trails. A fishing lake and a swimming lake with paddle boats.

The staff are friendly and helpful and have a small store at the office for basic necessities.

the only thing negative I can say is the mosquitos come out at dark and are pretty bad so bring your mosquito spray.

Boy scouts EVERYWHERE!

Crowleys Ridge State Park is a small park but has. Lot to explore and discover. Two Lakes, several trails, a "spring" and plenty of camping options.

The weekend we visited there was a convergence of Scouts, even with the large group of little people the park didn't seem crowded.

The Campground is split into different areas. The first area is primitive with a latrine. The rear area has electric hookups for campers and there is a newer, well maintained showerhouse.

Our site was huge, enough room for several tents. There was a trail directly behind our site and another trailhead at the very back of the campground area.

The trails had interesting bridges and a suspension bridge. Moderate to strenuous. There is a swimming area next to a historic CCC building and bridge. The walk around the lake takes you to a wood walkway, stairs and a spring.

The second lake is clear , with boat ramp and dock, good for the fisher folk, okay for yakers, though not very big.

another Arkansas gem

Wonderful place to visit! We really enjoyed the hiking opportunities this park offers :) The sites were nice, somewhat wooded area. They were not super secluded, but we had enough privacy. The facilities were very clean and near to the sites. So impressed with how Arkansas State Parks are maintained- we were pleased!
