Went here w/ the grand baby. Unfortunately the campground is under construction. Nice area that's well maintained with nice trails and plenty of history. 

Maybe this fall

New campground. We stayed in site 1, which was a pull through with full hook ups. Each site has a designated tent pad as well as a lantern hook. Sites on the outside of the loop back up to the woods, sites on the inside of the loop are more exposed to other campsites. Staff was very friendly, bathroom and shower accommodations were clean and well maintained.

new campground with great facilities

Paddle boating, fishing, and trails to explore! 

Great place to stay!

Great park to visit.  Has paddle boats, lake to fish, boat ramp to Black River, newly updated campgrounds with all the hookups, playground for the kiddos, plenty of trails.  Staff is awesome and do well taking care of the park.  

Awesome Park.  

Me and my wife go here alot. VERY nice accommodations 

Love this place

This is a very pretty little historic park with a small man-made pond. Fishing looked good and the kids loved the Pedal Boats. 

There are only twenty sites, but most fit larger RVs and some even have sewer hookups. 

The staff here are awesome and keep the place very clean. Besides having a nice little exhibit open to experience, they even are keeping the kayak, canoe and pedal boat rentals open (Other Arkansas Parks are keeping some bathrooms, showers, rental boats and exhibits closed because of COVID). Lake Charles SP even closed their beach?!? and they said they didn’t have enough staff sitting around doing nothing to rent kayaks. 

Davidsonville is definitely a great place to visit. 

Great Little Park

This was a nice park to camp in. We stayed in the primitive area which is first come first served. We were the only people there on a busy weekend so we had our pick of sites. Nice park all around. 

Nice Primitive Spots

Beautiful, peaceful, smaller campground with a small lake, a river, hiking trails and historic sites with interpretive signage. We had a 50amp FHU site and were able to get our 44' 5th wheel in site #2, which allowed us a lovely view of the lake. It would be easier to back rigs into the sites if they didn't have the wooden signs at the entrance to each site with the site#, but we got in with lots of back and forthing. Larger sites, beautiful trees and surrounded by the changing colors of the leaves in mid-October.
