Within the Army Corps of Engineers' Dequeen Recreation Area, Pine Ridge provides established camping with full hookups for RVs up to 84 feet. The campground features sites with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for those needing it. Half the sites sit directly on the water, offering immediate lake access. Site layouts include level pads, with some split-level configurations that accommodate larger rigs. Each site includes a fire pit, grill, and picnic table, though campers may need longer water hoses since some sites share water connections. Clean restrooms, a playground, and group shelter round out the amenities. For additional options, see campsites around De Queen. Open year-round with rates from $14-30 per night, the campground works well for RV travelers seeking lakeside camping with full services.
