Cossatot River RV Park

Off the beaten path in southwestern Arkansas, this RV park sits close to the highway but maintains a quiet atmosphere during daytime hours when most residents appear to be away. The facility provides full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections on pull-through gravel sites with fire rings and picnic tables. Despite its name, the park is not within walking distance of the Cossatot River itself.

The location serves as a convenient base for exploring nearby Cossatot River State Park, though campers should note that some long-term residents create a mixed community atmosphere. The park allows pets and offers basic amenities including restrooms and drinking water. For additional camping options in the region, consider campgrounds just outside Wickes or the primitive sites at Cossatot Falls Campsites — Cossatot River State Park - Natural Area for a more rustic experience.

Quiet, cozy, small rv park

We liked our week long visit here.. It was off the beaten path. Very quiet and peaceful. It seemed most people were gone during the day, maybe working. We explored the state park down the road and went on some fun drives. Easy pull through sites with full hook up. Dog friendly (I think) but there weren't any dogs running loose. There are also a couple cabins in the back it looked like.

**This rv park is not in walking distance to the Cossatot River

Not a bad location for RVs and cabins near the Cossatot River but...

Given that the gorgeous Cossatot River has a State Park but its campgrounds are up a few miles of hilly gravel road and offer no plumbing or electricity, you may be searching for more comfy accommodations as a jumping off point to hike or kayak. Lake Gillham campground is unfortunately too far away to be convenient. The CRSP park rangers may mention this RV park, if you inquire, or you might find it yourself on a map. The location is convenient enough - just a few minutes' drive down the road from the Visitors Center. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The setting is adequate: it's close to the road and offers fire ring, picnic table, and a gravel pad. The thing that ruined our stay were some of the regular clientele who were downright creepy/frightening. Think, disintegrating trailers, abusive yelling late at night, unkempt heavy drinkers with leering eyes. In spite of the pluses, I would not feel comfortable staying here again. Perhaps the cabins are distanced enough from the RV part to feel safe.
