Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Arkansas River - Pool 3

I stopped here for one night with a travel trailer and was in site B-01 for $16. The sites are spacious. For example, the water hookups are half way between the sites to be shared, and my 50ft hose just barely could reach. It is pet friendly and we had fun sitting on a dock and watching the cargo boats. There is absolutely no cell phone signal and no WiFi, so have physical directions on you. The park is only a couple miles from Arkansas Post National Memorial which was very beautiful and worth a visit.

At first entrance it appears as if you are entering a large parking lot. There is a large pavilion to picnic and pet area by the water. Each site requires a 50 amp but the office will offer one for purchase if you need a 50 to 30 amp connections. The center lot is for pull through sites the other site areas non-pull through by water and fence. The fence area is close to the bridge but could be limited with views since it is far away from the water and Class A frequent area.

Two things I love:

1. The unique downtown riverside views
2. The ease of getting to this RV park even though it is downtown Little Rock.

Nice big park and inexpensive. Especially if you have a National Park Pass. Stayed one night backed in to a site right on the lake. Huge park to walk our dog and let her run. Definitely would stop again. Easy access of I40. Water/electric hookup only. Bathrooms old but clean.

Stayed here on our way out West. Great spot, easy access, really peaceful and nice view of the river. Dogs swam in river, kids fished and biked. 20B is a great slot on the river and relatively secluded. Facilities looked fairly clean, but given COVID-19, we utilized our water and 30 electric hookup in the camper. Would stay again for sure. Recommended.

Arrived in town looking for somewhere to tent camp, found here. It works for a night Pros: Clean bathrooms Friendly evening staff and wife is friendly Has a small store with basics Wifi Laundry area Cons: Quite noisy with city noise Camp store is expensive ( 2 Gatorade, a pack of. Hot dogs, buns and ketchup came up to 13 dollars...and. Mustard was almost 6 dollars.... Tent area is more of a storage area We had it to ourselves, which was nice, but, felt as if we were the unwanted guest in the park. At $38 dollars a night, we felt it's not really worth what they ask.

Very nice campground. The camp hosts were wonderful people. The bathrooms were immaculate and the campground was very well maintained. The campsites were all sufficiently spaced. Occasionally a barge would go by. The Arkansas River is part of the McClellan-Kerr navigation system. Approximately 11 million tons of cargo is shipped from the Mississippi River to Tulsa every year through the McClellan-Kerr navigation system. The sunsets were taken from my chair on the bank of the Arkansas River.

On the Arkansas River, it’s a clean and beautiful park. Rv spots on all on the rivers edge. Plenty of room. Price for rv camping was very good.

Camp Robinson is a training center and is home to the Arkansas National Guard Force along with other military teams.  It is 32,000 acres and is in the heart of Little Rock Arkansas.  It consist of 26 small arms ranges and premier training centers.  

Camp Robinson was named after Joe T. Robinson who was the 23rd governor of 
Arkansas.  The Camp played a very important role in various wars and continues today for training.  It also housed a large German prisoner of war facility.  The Camp was also know as Camp Pike when it was originally  built in 1917 and the CCC Civilian Conservation Corps was stationed at Camp Pike.

You will find a nine hole golf course, a PX and a fine Arkansas National Guard Museum.  Admission is free but call 501-212-5215 for hours.

This campground has not been maintained. Many trailers looked as if they have been there for sometime.  Sites are wooded and there was a picturesque pond with several waterfowl.  There are two sites and one is newer with some pull thru sites. No additional toilets, laundry or showers so you need to be self contained.

This site is ideal to visit Little Rock since it is in the heart of the city.  It is located in a residential area and away from the interstate.  Touring the downtown area will keep you very busy.  Everything is within a few miles drive.  The Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site is open from 0900 - 1630 hours (9 am to 4:30 pm), William J. Clinton Presidential Library (closed till July 1, 2021), Museum of Discovery 0900 to 1700 hours (9 am to 5 pm) Arkansas State Capitol 1000 to 1700 hours (10 am to 5 pm) also check out the Old State House Museum and the Historic Arkansas Museum, Heifer Village or Heifer International 0900 to 1700 hours (9 am to 5 pm),  Downtown has plenty of parking and some great eateries.  A splash of the whimsy is the Esse Purse Museum and Store.

Your time will be well spent checking out all the great museums, shopping and dining you can even catch Broadway plays, truck rallies, music shows, conventions and more.  Enjoy your stay and stay as busy as you want or just kick back and enjoy a peaceful stay.

I’ll start by telling you a story.. my friend and I have always wanted to go to Arkansas to hunt. So we finally got our chance and headed out. We planned on roughing it  a little and stay in tents. When we got close to grant county Arkansas we found this place on the map. Omg!! When we got there and saw “” Donnas Hammock Hide away”” We could not believe our eyes !! It should be called “Donnas major junk yard”!!!! One thing about it is. In a year or two, when we get over the shock it will be something to look back and laugh about.

Not a resort but right next to the foot bridge that accesses parks on the other side of the Arkansas River. Traffic noise is minimal.

The campground sits on Arkansas Game and Fish Cox Creek Lake. Nice, family friendly atmosphere. Great fishing lake, swimming and kayaking are popular. A well built fishing pier is ADA accessible as are the bath houses.

Clean, family friendly, plenty of room. Temps above 50* mean stock up on big repellent. Sits on the banks of the Arkansas River. Great place until the Corp closes it down for weather or political reasons. I’d give more than three stars but the Corp has a poor track record keeping parks open.

Stayed here Nov 17-20, 2021.

For a downtown, city park, this was a good park to stay for a few nights. The sites are built for 2, we were given both and it was plenty of room.  If you're only in one though, you won't be able to fit a second vehicle.  The *sights* were pretty cool being downtown.  Felt very safe and comfortable and it was cool to see the city right outside your door.  Although, there was also a lot of construction going on. The bathrooms are single bathrooms. They were kept nice and clean.  It was nice to have a secure, private area for restroom and shower. They had an area for dogs to roam a little and do their business, it was pretty decent! It runs along the riverbank, so don't get too close to the edge! :) The whole park was kept nice and clean.  

Lots to do around the area of the campground if you want to venture out and see some things.  If you need to do grocery shopping, make sure you know what area you are in. I had a bad experience in one of the stores nearby to the park.

One downside to this place is how close the sites are to each other, in that you have noisy neighbors (like we did at 1am). Overall, a decent place to be for a few nights.  I personally wouldn't stay more than that, but I prefer more of a nature's view kind of place.

This is a Good Sam Campground,

Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Concrete, level pads Overlooks the Arkansas River Large Pavilion Gated RV park Easy access to downtown Little Rock AR

Cons: Limited amenities No picnic table or fire pit on site

We loved the beauty of this campground. There are plenty of tall shade trees and it is right on the banks of the Arkansas River. Sites are well spaced with plenty of room in between.

Maumelle Park is our getaway go to spot for quiet rest. Beautiful panorama view of the Arkansas river. Amenities are great. Friendly staff and clean park. Close to restaurants, shopping and services. Full year round so make a reservation!

Willow Beach is small, remote, and quiet. Situated between the Arkansas River and Willow Lake, every site is waterfront. Showers and bathrooms were clean and in good condition. Sites were close but in good repair. Playgrounds were present but closed thanks to Covid. Mosquitos are very bad. Overall a really nice spot.

The location is truly excellent with easy access to the Arkansas River Trail, the Clinton library, restaurants and other attractions. Although, there is construction along the river front and around the RV park. There’s really no atmosphere, so stay here if you want great access to Little Rock!

What’s not to love about this park. Check in was super easy. Bathrooms where always clean. Each loop has its own dump station. This park is right on the Arkansas River so kayaking was super easy here.
All sites had plenty of outdoor space.

It’s a little close to the Little Rock metro area for me BUT it’s very well maintained, quiet and family friendly. Lots of kids riding bikes and being outdoors. Sits on the bank of the Arkansas River so fishing and water sports are available from the bank or boat.

One of the better ACOE campgrounds we’ve experienced. Our site A20 was spacious and private with 50amp and water. We wanted to explore the Little Rock area and this campground was perfect for doing so. Sits alongside the Arkansas River and the whole area is very well maintained. Excellent Verizon signal.
