"Close enough to Arkadelphia if you need supplies. State Park Marina and Caddo Point have very nice boat ramps with a lot of parking which is good because this place gets crowded."

$15 - $25 / night
"We stayed in site 54 (w/e/s) that was right on the lake. We could walk to the dock right behind the site to fish, although did not have very good luck."
"Lake Catherine State Park, like all Arkansas state parks, is immaculately clean! Most RV sites have close access to the water and there are small stationary docks to park your boat.

"The Iron Mountain trail system is adjacent to the campground. I love the rustic simplicity of the place. It is older but well maintained and clean. Its such a peaceful and beautiful place."

TravelerWe were excited to finally find a free camp area for our RV and drove into the wild for this one but when we arrived there were lots of people camping out with little space or privacy. Guess it depends on the season. But super beautiful forest and lake!!
ScoutWe’ve been to this RV park a couple of times. Both times there is NOT a working dryer in the laundry facilities. It’s frustrating when you pay for services that don’t exist but is advertised as an amenity.
Also, the sites are run down. Didn’t even bother to rake the old leaves away. We also had to run the water from another site. Our neighbors were complaining about their site not having water either.
Also, I think there should be some sort of discount for the mining if you’re paying for an RV site. It’s $25 a person for the mining of crystals. $35 if you want a mine tour and mining. .
TravelerThis was such a nice place. Could not believe how clean the bathrooms were at all times.
GuideThey had some recent flooding, not all sites were available. Spot #1 was right at the waters edge. Concrete/stone picnic table, grill, firepit. The trees were perfect size and spacing for a hammock. Right next to the boat ramp. Lots of people fishing. Great for kayaking. Fairly level. No garbage/dumpster on site. Some sketchy pit toilets.
TravelerEasy access- Quiet. Would do again
LegendNice little campground along a stream. Best sites are those along the stream towards the back by the amphitheater (just check the map). Only downside (other than sites are close together) to this campground is there is one men’s shower and one women’s shower and you have to have a code to get in to those areas. However, we were told there wasn’t a shower at all, so we actually found that to be a bonus that they even had one. Just be aware that if you want to use them, you probably need to do so in the afternoon as there’s a wait at any other time. I would definitely recommend this campground if you’re coming to see or visit Hot Springs Arkansas. Hiking trails nearby and you can actually hike into town from the campground if you like.
ScoutThe area is very nice I came here tent camping and I love that there are designated tent spots rather than only trailer spots. There is a large enough area for multiple tents to be placed without issues. One thing to note is when the lake floods the water does come up to some of the tables that are near the edge.
Also there seems to be a bear that likes to roam around. He stayed clear of my tent but was getting into every trash can around camp and created quite a ruckus a few times. I just remote started my truck when he got near the trash cans near my tent and it spooked him a bit to run off.
ScoutA paradise for everyone! The property is so peaceful and quiet. We came with little kids and they explored their hearts out. Along the river there’s a trail and fun places for the kids to play and play. They made a “treehouse” and it was hours worth of fun! Next time I will choose site 286-288 to have the perfect access and view of this play spot. The services and amenities were all extremely nice here!
GuideGreat spor for a overnight stay. We entered after hours and paid in the morning. We stayed at spot 17 and paid around 53$. All hookups and showers for free and very very clean. Very kind service.
