Best Campgrounds near Cammack Village, AR

Cammack Village, Arkansas sits within easy reach of diverse camping options along the Arkansas River corridor. Corps of Engineers campgrounds like Maumelle Park (7 miles west) and Toad Suck (30 miles northwest) provide well-maintained sites with water and electric hookups. Downtown Riverside RV Park offers urban camping with full hookups and river views, situated within walking distance of Little Rock attractions. For military personnel, Camp Robinson RV Park and Little Rock Air Force Base FamCamp provide dedicated facilities. The region includes both developed campgrounds with amenities and primitive sites in the nearby Ouachita National Forest, where dispersed camping is permitted along forest roads.

Reservations are essential at popular riverfront sites, particularly during summer months when weekend occupancy reaches capacity. As one camper noted, "Maumelle Park is our getaway spot for quiet rest. Beautiful panorama view of the Arkansas River. Close to restaurants, shopping and services." Most Corps of Engineers campgrounds in the area maintain clean facilities with flush toilets and showers, though amenities vary by location. Cell service is generally reliable near established campgrounds but becomes spotty in forest areas. The climate supports year-round camping, with mild winters and hot, humid summers. Mosquitoes can be problematic near water, especially at Willow Beach where campers report they are "very bad" despite the waterfront setting.

Waterfront access represents a significant draw throughout the region, with many campsites positioned along the Arkansas River or nearby lakes. Campers frequently mention the peaceful atmosphere at riverside locations, with wildlife sightings including bald eagles, blue herons, and river otters. Shade availability varies considerably between campgrounds, with Maumelle Park offering "amazing mature trees" at most sites. Several campgrounds feature boat ramps and fishing access, though weekend crowds can diminish the tranquility. For those seeking urban convenience, Downtown Riverside RV Park provides what one visitor described as "excellent access to the Arkansas River Trail, the Clinton library, restaurants and other attractions," though another noted it has "limited amenities" with "no picnic table or fire pit on site."

    FR94 Dispersed Campsite

    Peaceful site in the Quachitas

    Coordinates: 34.86190,-92.90667. Camped here Sept 9, 2025. Large dirt and grass site; very clean. May accommodate a truck camper or 2 smaller vehicles. Mostly level. Tent and hammock camping possible. No privacy from the road. The site has a rock fire ring. The site is surrounded by forest with the Flatside Wilderness Area just across the forest road. There are no hiking trails near the campsite, but there are opportunities to stroll and explore in the forest. The site is mostly shaded; Starlink connectivity may be a challenge. AT&T LTE service. Sporadic T-Mobile service. Quiet location. No one drove by during our stay. Note that there are a couple of dead trees in the middle of this site; choose the position of your vehicle and/or tent carefully. The Flatside Pinnacle hiking trailhead and parking for the Ouachita National Recreation Trail are located 3/4 of a mile north of the site along FR94. The forest roads approaching the site from the south are in good condition. In my opinion, I don't recommend anything larger that a truck camper. The approach from the north, however, is not as good. FR94 and FR805 are eroded at the higher elevations; lots of exposed embedded rocks. I believe a 2wd passenger car can very carefully get through this area with air-downed tires.

    Toad Suck

    ACOE Toad Suck

    Great little campground. Decently maintained. Most of the sites have concrete pads big enough for a couple tents. Solid concrete picnic table with a roof over it was nice. Parking was not very level but our 38ft schoolie fit fine with enough room for our car.

    Hot Springs Arkansas Finish Line RV Park

    Nice little park

    This is a nice little gated park. Close to the national park in Hot Springs Arkansas. And right next door to the flat track/casino. It’s pretty new, but not really any extra amenities. 20/30/50 amp full hookups. Concrete pads, and paved streets. Laundry and bath house. Inexpensive. We’d definitely stay here again!

    H&G RV campground

    Total hookups close to I40

    Gary. Met me as I arrived in the park, guided me to my spot and even helped connect the water while I hooked up electric and waste. Stayed 2 nights , lucky that my Tmobile hotspot allowed me to work, stream, Zoom on my rest day.

    Tar Camp

    Not much to say

    The park itself is beautiful other the the volunteer camps at the gate house they both have so much junk piled up around them and the one has a dirty old schoolly not that I have anything against schoollys but this one is dirty. They evacuated the park due to high water while we were there and we never receive the phone call or a text The only way we knew is I got a notification from the bank will they refunding those our money back.we where out and about when it happened we get back they had everything locked up and where gone now I grew up a commercial fisherman fishing the Arkansas river and took it back up after I retired from the army and have lived next to the Arkansas White and Chache river all but the 20 years I gone to the army so I know the river. The water never broke flood stage nor came close to it. So there was zero reason to evaluate us. But that being said we should have been notified

Guide to Cammack Village

Camping spots near Cammack Village, Arkansas offer access to both waterfront and upland terrain options within a 40-mile radius. The climate supports year-round camping with temperatures averaging 93°F in summer and 51°F in winter. Arkansas River sites feature shoreline fishing access with varying water levels throughout the year, particularly at Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds.

What to do

Hiking at Petit Jean State Park: Located about 40 miles northwest of Cammack Village, Petit Jean State Park features multiple trail options ranging from easy to difficult. "Fantastic hiking trails - rated from easy to difficult. Since I live only 45 minutes from this park, I normally come here for the day for hiking," notes a visitor who camped there in May 2025.

Boating and water activities: Lake Catherine State Park offers excellent kayaking opportunities on calm waters. "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 repeat visitor who enjoyed waterfront camping with family.

Wildlife viewing: Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds provide opportunities to observe local birds and animals. At Willow Beach, campers report seeing waterfowl along the river. "Beautiful campsite along the Arkansas River. The sites are all very spacious with very long back in driveways," reports one visitor who stayed during hot weather.

Historical exploration: Visit the Camp Robinson RV Park area to access the Arkansas National Guard Museum. "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," explains a military visitor who documented the site's history.

What campers like

Spacious riverfront sites: Maumelle Park gets high marks for its generous campsites along the Arkansas River. "Sites are level with water and electricity and picnic tables and fire rings. Restrooms and showers," notes a visitor who gave the park a 5-star rating.

Urban convenience: For campers wanting city access, Downtown Riverside RV Park positions visitors near Little Rock attractions. "Great location, walkable to downtown. Good WiFi, great reception. It was nice to be parked in a place that didn't require driving to explore," reports one camper who visited during COVID restrictions.

Affordable rates: Corps of Engineers campgrounds offer budget-friendly options. "Large sites, not piled in on each other like RV parks. It's a clean campground outside the city, can't beat it for the price. Waterfront. Covered picnic benches. 50amp + water," notes a camper about pricing at Willow Beach.

Shade availability: Many campgrounds provide tree cover for hot Arkansas summers. "The sites are very well spaced and you can take your chairs to the river or use the picnic benches (some in pavilions) scattered along the river full of waterfowl and occasional boaters and huge barges," describes a Maumelle Park visitor who stayed in a site facing the river.

What you should know

Seasonal flooding impacts: Some riverside campgrounds close temporarily due to high water. "Toad Suck is temporarily closed. June 2019 flood deviated it and looks to remain closed thru 2020," reported one reviewer, though the park has since reopened with "nice new spots."

Varying amenities between parks: Facility quality differs significantly across campgrounds. At Little Rock North KOA, "The bathrooms were very clean and the showers hot. The only downside was the traffic noise from the interstate, but that was to be expected," notes a visitor who stayed there to access the city.

Wildlife concerns: Campers at riverside locations should prepare for encounters with local fauna. "We encountered lots of snakes. I shooed a few off the road and they disappeared as soon as they slithered into the grass, so to me it's pretty risky walking around or letting kids play in the grass," warns a Willow Beach visitor.

Access limitations: Some military sites have restricted entry or changing security protocols. "The main exit out of the base is closed (repair work on the road not sure how long it will be closed) so you have to leave the base following a detour," reports a visitor to Little Rock AFB FamCamp.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Toad Suck, families appreciate "multiple playgrounds and pavilions. Basketball, volleyball and store across the street," according to a recent visitor.

Kid-friendly biking: Maumelle Park offers safe cycling opportunities. "Dogs swam in river, kids fished and biked. 20B is a great slot on the river and relatively secluded," shares a camper who stayed there on a westward journey.

Water safety considerations: The Arkansas River current can be dangerous for swimming. At Toad Suck, one visitor notes: "This campground is right on the river! Water flows by very fast. No swimming. Lots of fishing."

Bug protection essential: Mosquitoes are prevalent near water, particularly in summer months. "Mosquitos are very bad. Overall a really nice spot," reports a Willow Beach camper, highlighting the need for repellent.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for leveling: Many campgrounds have uneven sites that require planning. At Little Rock North KOA, "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."

Full hookup availability: Corps of Engineers sites typically offer partial hookups while other options have sewer connections. "Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP), concrete, level pads, overlooks the Arkansas River," notes a Downtown Riverside RV Park visitor.

Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have confusing layouts that can complicate arrival. At Petit Jean State Park, "some sites are angled differently and there is no clear indication how you have to enter the loop to be able to access your site. It can create some frustration when trying to get set up."

Downtown access without driving: For RVers wanting to explore Little Rock without moving their rig, "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."
