  Leisure Landing RV Park

  Don't Bother

  Gravel parking lot with painted stripes, a patch of grass growing under the picnic table, and full hookups. Be sure to back in centered, others are complaining about hitting their slide outs. Watch your step. One of the long-term residents isn't picking up their dog waste. The nicest spot in the whole place is the little fenced-in dog spot overlooking the canal that makes its way out to the lake you can't see from here.

  Sites 21-24 are very close together

  We stayed in tent site 22 for a weekend camping trip. You can’t tell by looking at the Recreation.gov reservation site but tent pad 22 is one of 4 in a grouping of tent sites. 21-24 are so close together. If you are with friends or a large family group then it would be ideal but if don’t want people right on top of you then pick another site. Thankfully, we had some cool neighbors but it was a very noisy and bright spot to camp. Also, your neighbors have to walk through your campsite to get to either of the two water spickets that serve all 4 campsites. There is no where to park your boat unless you rent an RV spot and there is no boat ramp in the camp ground. All of the spots were very shady and cool. We had a good time but we wanted to warn others so you know what you are getting into.

  Hope Village Inn RV Park

  SKETCHY-BEWARE!!!

  We booked one night here during a southwest roadtrip. I should have looked into the Google reviews because there weren't any on this app at the time. This "campground" sits directly beside a sketchy excuse of a "motel." Actually they are ran by the same people. The motel had multiple rooms with full windows busted out, large amounts of trash and junk piled everywhere outside (broken furniture, trash, scrap), the "pool" they advertise was empty with weeds growing up in it, and many long-term residents of the motel hanging out in the lot, on the second story, and going in and out of each other's open rooms. It looked like something straight out of a movie or TV show that was portraying a poor, rundown, drug-infested neighborhood. We drove past that and into the small campground area. It had lots of run-down campers with junk piled around them as well. I wish I had taken pictures because I couldn't believe how trashy this place looked. We made the decision not to stay there for the night. We were afraid our camper or truck would be broken into if we left them there. It was not somewhere we felt safe staying with our children. We found a much nicer and safer KOA down the road in Texarkana that was actually cheaper and stayed there instead. We may have lost the money we paid for a night at this place, but the peace of mind was worth it!

  Crater of Diamonds State Park

  Great full hookup campground

  I keep coming back here to dig for diamonds. There are cheaper campgrounds in the area, but the State Park grounds are top notch. Very level camper pads, stable power and water and everything is well maintained. There are multiple bath “houses” — single shower room style privacy, not a large room with curtains. A playground in the sites for kids to play on also.

  The only downsides that come to mind are the iffy WiFi (the reservation system is pretty accurate on which sites have “good” WiFi and which do not) that is decent for casual web browsing but not likely to be streaming possible. And then a mixed pro/com is that satellite connections (direct or Starlink) is going to be rough due to the wooded aspect of the sites — although the trees do help keep the camper cooler. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  Crater of Diamonds State Park

  Great little state park campground

  This is a quiet campground with plenty of shaded and nearly perfectly level pull ins. Power is consistent. Water pressure fluctuates from good to high — regulator necessary. Wifi is spotty, but the reservation center is pretty accurate on strength of WiFi at various sites. The site we are in right now, WiFi is sketchy.

  In cool weather, a walk to the diamond field would be fine. In hot weather, no way.

  Big Fir Primitive Camping

  Awesome Stay

  I have my truck and 25 ft camper and have stayed five nights right on the water. There’s been at least a couple campers around every night but not rowdy. A lot of people here to fish. I did put in “Big Fir Recreational Use Area” to find the site as someone else mentioned. I have plenty of service through Verizon and my Starlink works great here too.

  Crater of Diamonds State Park

  Great Location

  This camp is ideally located in the Crater of Diamonds State Park with easy access to the Visitors Center by foot or car. The campsites are well maintained and adequately situated to afford some privacy. There are 6 individual bathrooms with toilet, sink and shower, in the bathouse nearest to us that are modern and clean. The shower was "almost" hot.

  The only negative is that the adjacent site's fire ring is too close to our back window and the smoke from a fire could enter our window.

  This is our second stay at this park and we would definitely return.

  DeGray Lake Resort State Park — De Gray State Park

  Good value campground

  Fairly cheap for a nicely established campground with really nice bathrooms (with showers)! Water spigot right at our site. Park has 3 different loops and lots of amenities.

  Glad we found them!

  Not a big campground at all but dynamite comes in small packages!

  From the super nice owner, laundry room and dog walk. The showers and bathrooms are top notch and everything is spotless!

  Enjoy free WiFi and maps of the area and daily activities locally. Dyrt discounts are splendid here as well. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and give them a try. You won’t regret it!

  Donna's Hammock Hideaway

  Wild hunting trip!!!

  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.

  Nice quiet campground

  Spacious sites, and lots of privacy. We came through after a storm and they were without power. Crews we’re working to clean park and electricity was restored pretty quickly. Park was well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay.

  Late night/Quick stay

  I cannot say enough about this RV park. We came through very late (12 pm) gave her a call and she got us taken care of! Very clean, well maintained, full hook ups and lots of extras! Unfortunately we weren’t there very long (7 hours), but we will be back!

  Jubilee Farms Campground in Leola, Arkansas

  Peaceful farm in a nice setting

  Rustic, peaceful and quiet place. Friendly hosts and nice grounds. All level spots with good power and water. Great place to see the stars. Fresh eggs to boot! Just a one night stopover for us but would have liked to stay longer!

  Moro Bay State Park

  Great place to camp!!

  We don’t have one complaint about our stay. The camp ground is very clean and in good shape. The pads are all asphalted so pretty level. Trash bins are at every other site and the bathroom is not a far walk. The temps are really hot but the bugs aren’t too bad. My family will be back!!

  Iron Mountain

  Beautiful wooded campground

  Beautiful place but some of the sites are super un-level. We tried our spot 16 and it was so steep our emergency brake could barely hold and behind the pad was a huge drop off to the lake. We had to pay for second spot to move to as we did not feel safe. No water at the sites, but power was fine. Depending on what side you are on you may have cell coverage, but on the other side (where we moved to) virtually no signal.

  Arlie Moore - De Gray Lake

  Great Spot!

  This was my first solo camping trip and the Arlie Moore campground made it an easy and memorable one. First the location is close to Hot Springs National park, only about 20 minutes away. It was easy to find in the dark and everything was very well labeled so finding my campsite was doable even at night. My site was right in the water and well maintained. The bathrooms had toilet paper and the trash was taken out daily. I did hike the 1.3 mile trail while I was staying but be warned it’s a little confusing because not many people use it.

  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!

  Great spot for one night!

  Very nice staff and well maintained sites. My only complaint would be I noticed a good amount of trash on the lakeshore, and the sites were closer together than I prefer. Otherwise great stay!

  Murfeesboro RV Park

  Nice little Rv park

  20.00 a night for two people in tent camping. I’m in van and they allowed me to van camp. Tent sites have electric. So bought an extension cord and took full advantage for a small heater. It’s by the road. So some road noise then the cows moo.. other then having to pay. This is a great spot 2miles max from crater of diamonds state park. That place was packed on top of each other. Much prefer here!

  Cowhide Cove Campground

  Beautiful Campground

  We booked a site for 1 night only because it was close to the Crater of Diamonds State Park. We were at site 4 on the bottom loop and it was beautiful. We loved watching the sun go down over the lake. Also, we have 3 boys so being close to the play ground was awesome. We will definitely be back!
