RangerWe visited Cane Creek over Memorial Day weekend. The sites were level. We did have several fire ant hills that we had to deal with and quite a few red wasps. We were able to watch numerous birds (pileated woodpeckers) and even saw a swamp rat swimming in the lake (resembles a beaver with a skinny tail). You have to walk through thick brush on a slope to reach the water. My husband mostly chose to walk down to the fishing pier and docks. It was about a two minute walk away from our site. We stayed in site 17 I believe.
There are water and electricity hookups with a bathroom close by. We rode bikes so it didn’t take long to get the the restroom. Our neighbors had issues with their electricity because they were trying to run an air fryer, and it kept throwing the breaker. We ran our box fan without any issues.
You can rent kayaks for very reasonable. Do it! The water trail is unlike any I have seen. Don’t miss out on the hiking trails, but watch out for ticks!
You can rent an RV here as well. It’s set up at the entrance of the campground. It seemed like a nice setup. We rode past it several times on our explorations of the park.

GuideThis was one of the last parks available on the Memorial Day weekend. One of the great things for us was the proximity of some Arkansas State Parks such as Cane Creek and Arkansas Post. First we were in E campground and it was not very well taken care of. The pads for the campers were starting to become covered up with grass and tree debris. Our picnic table has a corner busted off and the water hydrant was combined for two sites to one hydrant spot. Our 25 ft hose was too short so we borrowed a hose from the camp manager till we were able to buy another 25 footer. There was no showers in E and the restrooms were just toilets, no sinks to wash your hands. We were told by several people that we would be all but guaranteed to see an alligator but we never did. Not that they aren’t there, we just never got that lucky. The dump station is probably a mile and a half from the campground so if you have a grey water tote tank that you pull behind the truck like me, expect a fairly long drive. Overall it was an ok park but the campground E was definitely on the decline. Other campgrounds seemed to be in better shape but still sad that part of the park is in such shape. I would not put this on the top of my list but it’s not the worse either.
Legendwe stayed in e10 Thanksgiving 2020 it was very quiet only 2 other campers in our area .it looked more like an overflow area had some broken picnic tables and bathrooms had no shower but it was great now area a,c,d where awesome showers, great views really nice park along of wildlife
GuideI 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.

Warfield Point Park would be an extremely nice campground and recreation area if it was maintained. The campground is located on 80 acres of mature growth trees of pecan and cottonwoods and sits between the levy and the Mississippi River. You will have to cross over the levy to reach the camp. There is a gate house that was not manned when we arrived. The pecan trees in the park provided the camper some nice pecans. What a feast. Disc golf, some pull through, fire ring, picnic table, toilets, showers. There was a sense of abuse and disuse in the park and we did not stay. Several of the sites had drink cans in and around the fire ring. We did not check out the bathrooms since the air of the park did not feel right. The site needed to be mowed but the river looked great.

LegendClosed now due to river erosion and damage to boat ramp. Hope they get it back up to par and re-open. Used to be a beautiful spot with bathrooms, covered picnic tables, grills, and fire rings. Also had electric and water hook-ups. Needs to open!
LegendGreat park! We had site 15 which was at the end of the park and had a beautiful, large site with plenty of privacy. Park was booked solid. B loop was closed so only 15 sites were available. $19 a night for a quiet and super relaxing weekend. Great hosts! Super friendly!Plenty of wildlife to be seen! We will be back! Boat ramp $5, pavilion $60. Nice day use area and playground but watch for snakes.% OK BACK AGAIN HALLOWEEN 2020 site 7 it is tight getting into and it is very close to site 6 the fire ring is like 6 or 8 feet from their hook-ups I would suggest another site and only 1 bar on my Verizon phone this time but pecans everywhere .quiet and relaxing as usual and pelicans are everywhere so cool and we picked up enough pecans for 2 pies
TravelerThis place has nice pads to put tents on and picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Only 10 sites though and it is first come first serve. They have one bathroom at the visitor center with a cold water fountain inside! All campsites are shaded, but have bug spray ready because there is a ton of mosquitoes! All together not a bad place to stay for $15!
