Best RV Parks & Resorts near Arkansas River - Pool 3

192 Reviews

Several RV parks along the Arkansas River Pool 3 offer water and electric hookups with varying amenities. Rising Star campground provides spacious RV sites with water and electric connections, picnic tables, and fire rings, operating from March through October. Willow Beach maintains year-round RV access with waterfront sites featuring electric and water hookups, though without sewer connections. Tar Camp accommodates big rigs with 50-amp electrical service and water hookups in Pine Bluff. Saracen Trace RV Park offers water and electric sites with a dump station but no shower facilities. "Beautiful campsite along the Arkansas River. The sites are all very spacious with very long back in driveways," noted one visitor about Willow Beach.

Downtown Riverside RV Park in North Little Rock stands out with full hookup capabilities including sewer connections, while most other parks provide only water and electric service. Cell coverage varies throughout the region, with visitors reporting 2-3 bars of Verizon and T-Mobile service at Willow Beach. Dump stations are available at Rising Star, Tar Camp, and Willow Beach, though bathroom facilities receive mixed reviews for maintenance. Most parks welcome pets, and some offer covered picnic tables. RV sites typically accommodate large rigs, though reservation requirements differ by location. Seasonal closures affect some parks, with flooding occasionally impacting riverside campgrounds—Tar Camp closed temporarily due to high water concerns according to one camper.

    Downtown Riverside RV Park

    Unique RV Experience

    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.

    H&G RV campground

    We really liked it!

    An overnight stop on our route. Gary was great, most helpful and it was a pleasure talking with him. This is a rather small campsite and I recommend advanced reservations. Two pull through sites that do not have sewer hookups but there is a dump station if needed. Electrical hookups are 50 amp so have an adapter if you need 30 amp service. I’d certainly recommend it.

    Downtown Riverside RV Park

    Parking lot but close to downtown.

    Talk about great location in a great town. We usually do not like camping in cities this big but wanted to come here to visit the William J. Clinton Presidential Library. And what a great location this park is to downtown Little Rock and the library. There is a pedestrian bridge that takes you over the Arkansas River to downtown and all the attractions; as well as, some great restaurants and a vibrant downtown. 

    This campground is essentially a parking lot.  There is no shade and our air conditioners ran non-stop since we were there in July.  There is a grassy area in front along the river that is a common area for you to enjoy the night sky. The riverfront is beautiful at night with the downtown lit up at night. Sites include 50 amp electric, water and sewer. There is also a dump station and WiFi. Some of the riverfront sites have been upgrades to concrete pads and some sites are pull-thru sites. The restrooms were clean and washers and dryers are on-site. The park takes any kind of RV from pop-up to Class A but does not accept tents. The price we paid was definitely reasonable at$22/night(with tax) but they also offer numerous discounts. 

    Downtown Little Rock is a great town with plenty to do, see, and eat. The great things about this park are that it is convenient to the interstate and a great price. For the location, you would expect to pay a lot more. We loved walking to town at night and enjoying the restaurants and breweries that bring the downtown to life. The weekly farmers market was a highlight and the Presidential Library is not to be missed.

    Pendleton Bend

    Nice people, basic facilities

    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.

    Maumelle Park

    Beautiful campground

    This campground is beautiful, well maintained and has clean facilities for showering and restrooms. There are several dump stations which are convenient and maneuvering into your space is very easy. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit and grill. The Rangers were very helpful and provided all the information we needed for a wonderful weekend.

    Maumelle Park

    Nice campground near Pinnacle Mountain

    Maumelle Park is a nice campground located on the Arkansas River. They have some water front sites and several in wooded areas. The campsites are a little close together and there aren't as many trees as we typically like for privacy and hanging hammocks, but it is a nice park. They have several day use areas, a few playgrounds, and basketball courts. We stayed at site B23, which was just okay. The restroom facilities are nice. They had 2 dump stations. They do not have designated tent pads, but do have a fire ring and picnic table at each site. The campground is very close to riding trails and Pinnacle Mountain which is a fun area to hike.
