We went over spring break! The weather was great and the park was busy! With all of those people they kept on top of making sure the park was clean. They had lots of activities to do as well.

This park has it all!  The campground is spaced for privacy and has plenty of trees to hang a hammock.  The sites are level and have a fire pit nestled in the pines.  THe real selling point to this park is the hiking,  I highly recommend the boy scout trail as it leads to all the great features of the park.  THe staff was friendly and helpful.  I highly recommend making reservations as it fills up fast.

bathrooms were nice, far from campsite. area was clean and very easy access.

Petit Jean is a beautiful park overlooking the Arkansas River Valley. Several different campgrounds offer diverse camping experiences. There are several hiking trails including the iconic Cedar Falls Trail; this strenuous but trail winds down into Cedar Creek Canyon to one of the tallest flowing waterfalls in the state, a photographer's dream!

The park has great amenities including a beautiful lodge with a nice restaurant and swimming pool. It can get pretty crowded on weekends and holidays but non-peak times offer plenty of space to stretch out. If you're up for rustic backwoods camping then you might want to keep looking, but the diverse amenities offer a great experience to families looking for a fun trip.

The campsites were nice and the park is beautiful. In the morning we had breakfast in the lodge and had the chance to watch a storm come in through the canyon. It was incredible.

If in Arkansas, Petit Jean State Park is a must. With a ton of trails, lodge, restaurant, and waterfalls it is a nature lovers dream.

I've been coming to Petit Jean since I was a little girl. I used to go to the Lutheran Camp on the top, and fell in love with the mountain. Since then, I've had geology lessons, and made my way to the campgrounds. Cedar Falls hike is a classic, and well worth the time. The lodge is amazing, especially the breakfast after a good morning hike. Really, nothing negative to say about it. Easy to gather your own wood for a fire, and bundle up for the night on top of the mountain!

Petit Jean is a wonderful campground that has a lot of areas to hike. The sites are spaced out and are level. Whether you have a camper or a tent the sites are well shaded. They have hikes that range from 1/2 a mile to 12 miles. It can get hot in the summer and the pool is clean. Excellent place for families.

This is very similar to a vacation resort. There are over 100 campsites that are reservable. You can also rent a yurt for $55 a night if you're interested in that! There are tennis courts, a swimming pool, picnic areas, and basically everything you've ever dreamed of finding in a campground. All sorts of facilities are available from showers to flush toilets. This definitely takes the labor out of camping and turns it more into a luxury. If you're interested in "roughing it" for a few days, you may want to try some backcountry camping elsewhere. If you want to take a few days off from the camping grind, this may be the ideal location for you.

Great place for hiking and taking in nice variety of views at Arkansas's first state park. Cabins can be rented, RV & tent camping sites available. Modern bath houses with showers and toilets were clean. Cedar Creek flows through this park and Cedar Falls is impressive. We were there in late March and the creek was flowing good after recent rains. But it can be only a trickle during dry periods. Enjoyed the trail along the creek. Another nice view was from a point looking down over the Arkansas River and valley below.

My family and I loved petit jean. We got to stay in a beautiful cabin for 3 days. The staff was excellent. We went hiking saw water falls and went to the pool.

If you are looking to see some really nice waterfalls, then this is the place to go. Not only is the nature something to see but the old structures are very interesting!

Petit Jean is beautiful. Cedar falls is a truly amazing waterfall, but is crawling with people. Hiking the Cedar Falls Trail is almost crowded. It is near impossible to snap a picture without someone else being in it. All that being said, Petit Jean is still very pretty.

We visited here summer 2013 on the way back from our trip out west. Loop A is on the lake. Our spot was level and a pull thru right by the water. We were only there 1 night but got to see a beautiful sunset in the lake with birds flying over head. I don't remember many other things except we were close to Ranger Station/ store with lots of local carvings, etc.. we drove around to several key areas of the park and hiked a little around boulders in very shaded paths.
