      Little Rock AFB FamCamp

      Not a bad little RV park, bathrooms were close and there were plenty of spots available. We got a back in spot at the front of the campground, but there were quite a few pull through as well. The entrance area parking lot was huge. So there was plenty of room to disconnect our TOAD before backing in.

      Older, but still nice

      Facilities look dated, but staff was great. Had an electrical problem on our pole after we were already set up and working. Allowed us to use neighboring site electricity, and started fixing ours. Lots of mature trees. Right off interstate so decent amount of road noise, but not a big deal.

      Great place does need some attention.

      Been camping here for a few years now. Quiet at night. Clean bathroom and showers. Campground a little rocky and hilly. Some sites need some attention, minor water dripping or damage to facets mostly great place. Wonderful hosts. Gary and Michele. Good price.

      Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

      Phenomenal Vacation!

      We stayed a week at Petit Jean in one of their gorgeous cabins. It was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend. The check-in and check-out was easy. Finding the cabin was easy with the directions and map we were given. They were clearly marked, with parking for two vehicles, as they were setup like a duplex. The cabin was beautiful and clean, inside and out. There was a large, heavy, all wood porch swing on each side. Relaxing in it was a peaceful experience, listening to the sounds of birds and the breeze through the tall pines. Inside it was all beautifully stained wood and roomy enough for two people, much like a hotel room, except for the cathedral ceiling. In fact, the setup was better than most hotel rooms we have stayed in. There was a mini-fridge with a small freezer, microwave, coffee pot(with coffee, cups, creamer, sugar, etc,) a Keurig, blow-dryer, iron, ironing board, and broom. It had all the toiletries: soap, shampoo, conditioner, tissue, cups. The open closet had plenty of shelving and hangers for clothing and bags. The bathroom was standard with water that quickly got hot for your bath or shower. There were two full size beds with comfortable mattresses, plenty of pillows and warm bedding, with a nightstand between. There were plugs to charge your phone and a landline. There was also a fireplace, however it was locked closed. The air unit in the room had cooling/heating that was easy to operate and sufficiently cool. We were near the highway, close to the lodge, but did not hear traffic while in the cabin. Parking at Mather Lodge is just like any other, with a short, easy walk to the entrance. Once inside, you pass the check-in desk, a small, well-stocked gift shop,(with something for every age,) an open meeting area and bar before reaching the restaurant. It is beautifully constructed from large logs stained and polished to a gleaming shine. From floor to ceiling, it is the epitome of rugged elegance. We ate breakfast and dinner exclusively at the lodge. The food was exemplary, every meal, cooked to perfection and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and we were never rushed or made to feel as if we overstayed our welcome. The service was fast, even when every table was occupied. The servers were friendly and attentive. We had only one server, one time that was"less than," maybe she was new, not sure, but we did not see her again. Tommy, Thomas, Jessie, Brad, Rebekah, and Lindsay were all so pleasant, always greeting us, even when they weren't our servers, remembering us and making us feel like family. The view of the gorge with it's tall trees and towering rock formations was incredible! There was a common area behind the lodge, just outside the restaurant with tables, chairs and benches for observing the gorge, taking photos, relaxing and socializing. You could walk right down to the edge of the huge flat rocks for photos with a stunning background. We spent every evening there, watching the exquisite sunsets. This place is a nature lovers paradise. There is a pool surrounded by loungers behind and to the side of the lodge. It was clean and well-kept with a small waterfall at one end. Thick thirsty towels are provided for your convenience. The grounds are beautifully maintained. We never saw or heard a mower but the grass was cut to perfection and there wasn't a single piece of litter in the entire park. At check-in we were given a map, brochure and weekly schedule of events/tours at the park. The map was very necessary for navigating around this extensive park of which the lodge area was only a small part. The brochure described the hikes and other available activities(such as climbing and repelling) with descriptions of what could be observed, length and difficulty levels. Trust the brochure! If it says strenuous, it is. Plan accordingly. There were four ranger guided tours the week we were there. We took two of them. They were genuinely interesting and pleasurable. Baron, our ranger, was exceedingly knowledgeable about the geology, animal and plant life and history of the area. Exceptionally so, for someone who was seemingly so young. He was attentive to the needs of those attending the tours, stopping to rest if necessary and moving a bit slower for us older folks. He was so affable and easy to talk with, it seemed as if we were old friends. Willing to spend extra time after the tours, talking with us, was an indication of how much he enjoyed his job. We were very appreciative of someone of his character and enjoyed spending time with him. He is the perfect model of what one would think a park ranger is and should be! Any hike can be taken unguided and there are plenty of them. In fact, we had plans to go outside the park on other hikes, but never made it off the property for those. We actually did not have enough time to do all we wanted to do within the park. If you are looking for a phenomenal vacation, this is the trip you should take!

      Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

      Arkansas's first state park

      Well maintained state park especially for its age. All sites have a picnic table, ground grill, and tent pad. Roads and campsites are paved. Nicely spaced sites. Clean bathhouse.

    Guide to Bryant

    Lake Ouachita State Park and nearby camping destinations sit within Arkansas's Ouachita Mountains, with elevations ranging from 600-2,700 feet creating diverse microclimates across the region. Campgrounds near Bryant provide access to three major lakes—Catherine, Ouachita, and DeGray—each with distinct shorelines and water conditions. Winter temperatures typically range from 30-50°F while summer averages 75-95°F with high humidity.

    What to do

    Hiking trails with waterfalls: Lake Catherine State Park features multiple hiking options including Falls Branch Trail with a scenic waterfall destination. "We really enjoyed hiking the Falls Branch Trail with my nieces (8 and 10 years old). I would highly recommend this trail," notes a visitor to Lake Catherine State Park.

    Disc golf course: Catherine's Landing offers an on-site disc golf course as part of its recreational options. The course winds through open meadow areas, providing a different outdoor activity option. According to one camper, "There are so many amenities such as a pool, store, boat rentals, zip line and disc golf."

    Fishing opportunities: DeGray Lake provides excellent fishing access with boat ramps and shore fishing available. "Great place for photo enthusiast with Beautiful sunsets and an abundance of wildlife. This is also a great fishing lake," reports a camper at DeGray Lake Resort State Park.

    Kayaking calm waters: Lake Ouachita offers ideal conditions for paddling with minimal boat traffic in many areas. "It's a great lake for kayaking as the water was calm and there were only a couple of boats on the water," shares a visitor at Lake Catherine, noting similar conditions to nearby Lake Ouachita.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Many campsites at Petit Jean State Park offer good spacing and natural barriers. "It is so well laid out that it was really nice to be there. We ended up in site #30. It had a beautiful view of the lake," explains a camper at Petit Jean State Park.

    Clean facilities: Hot Springs National Park KOA maintains well-kept shower and bathroom facilities. "The campground was nice and clean and quiet. Good place to rest up before continuing on with our journey," notes a recent visitor to Hot Springs National Park KOA.

    Lake access: Catherine's Landing offers direct water access from many sites. "I was in lakefront site 123 for one night but would have liked to stay longer. The water front sites near the boat dock were my favorite and easy to back into," reports a camper at Catherine's Landing.

    Year-round access: Most campgrounds in the Bryant area remain open throughout all seasons, with winter camping offering more solitude. "We stayed here for a couple of nights to visit the Hot Springs and it was the perfect location. They were super nice and accommodating letting us make a reservation for that same day pretty late in the day!"

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. "This SP will fill up quickly in the spring and fall, reservations are recommend," advises a camper at Lake Catherine State Park.

    Limited cell service: Some campgrounds have minimal connectivity. "There was only one other camper in this section of the CG while we were there. AT&T coverage was basically nonexistent with 1 bar of LTE service but very little if any throughput," reports a camper at DeGray Lake.

    Site leveling challenges: Many sites require equipment for proper RV leveling. "Many sites are unlevel and require significant leveling chocks to get it truly level," notes a camper at Little Rock North KOA, describing a common issue at several area campgrounds.

    Weather considerations: The region experiences high humidity and occasional heavy rains. "The days before we arrived, the area was hit by torrential rains. The weather cleared and I hiked down to the Cedar Falls trail to see the falls. The video is of the roaring falls. There is not typically so much flow."

    Tips for camping with families

    Boat rentals for kids: Multiple parks offer affordable rental options for family water activities. "Lake Catherine offers many different outdoor options close to Hot Springs. The park has a couple hiking options along with the lake activities," shares a visitor at Lake Catherine State Park.

    Kid-friendly amenities: Catherine's Landing features multiple youth-focused facilities. "Kid friendly. Great upkeep and sites that are easily accessible. Playground, splash pad, and pool. We were not able to access the pool because of the time of year, but we will definitely be back in warmer weather."

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Morning and evening wildlife sightings are common at several parks. "A 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," explains a visitor to Catherine's Landing.

    Yurt camping options: For families wanting comfort with outdoor access, yurt camping near Bryant, Arkansas provides an ideal solution. "We took my nieces on a weekend trip in our camper to Lake Catherine State Park. Our campsite backed up to the lake, so we had a great view. The campsite was a great size and well spaced out from our neighbors."

    Tips from RVers

    Full hookup availability: Several campgrounds offer complete RV services. "All sites have water, 50/30 amp, sewer, cable, and wifi. Fire pits and picnic tables accompany all sites," notes a camper describing Catherine's Landing.

    RV site selection: Choose sites based on shade needs and seasonal considerations. "Very little shade would be rough in summer months without shade tents, awnings, etc," warns a camper about certain loops at Petit Jean State Park.

    Site spacing considerations: RV sites vary significantly in privacy levels. "Easy access for a KOA, we have a cyclone 4270 (44' triple axel 5th wheel) which is pushing it for most KOA's. We landed a pull through just behind the office and on way out of curve in road so we slide right in. Neighbors are close but nice as was the staff."

    Terrain navigation: Some parks have challenging internal road systems. "The CG roads are paved, but narrow, winding, and fairly bumpy in spots. Few if any of the sites in this section of the CG were anywhere close to level and our site, one of the few pull-throughs, was one of the worst."
