Best Tent Camping near Arkansas River - Pool 3, AR

Location good. Site: one tent camp site. Which was Off to self. Had covered picnic table (all of which was positive to us) Power and water. Bathrooms; great. Clean warm showers. 1(favorite baths of trip) Arrival; very nice folks.

This was a nice facility, not for RVs than tent camping. Great play ground but quite a walk for bathroom facilities if tent camping.

Camped here at a tent site. Clean heated bathrooms with a shower, and we had a great spot on the river! No complaints, good spot while driving through Little Rock on a road trip!

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.

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.

Stayed in May, the geese made loud noises all night. It was loud if you are in a tent. Campers from the other end of the park put on a concert of loud music and singing into the early hours. No one on site to enforce any rules. Do not get the spot across from the bathrooms. People drive up to the bathroom all night slamming car doors and start back early around 5 am. I only saw three tents and the rest RV’s but the bathroom/shower was hopping all night. Tent sleeping is a little challenging here but it’s a nice place. With 180 camp sites it’s going to be busy.

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.

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.

Ashley here with The Dyrt! I'd like to welcome Donna to our platform. This property offers hot showers, a fire-pit and restroom. You'll likely get a visit from one of her goats. Rustic sites offer level ground for you to pitch your tent. Book your stay in the magical forest and leave a review!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

First time visiting little rock & this campground was perfect. Water & power hookup for each lot. Beautiful view as we were winding down for the night. Lots of geese wandering around & still chatty late at night- but kinda cute to hear. The campsites are pretty spacious for Tents with their own fire rings too. Definitely would stay again !
