Best RV Parks & Resorts near Clarksville, AR

Several RV parks near Clarksville provide full-hookup sites with varying amenities. Love's RV Hookup offers four RV-only sites with electric (both 50 and 30 amp), water, sewer, and sanitary dump station access just off the highway. Sites include trash service and toilet facilities. Grape Country RV Park in Altus features big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electric, water and sewer hookups on spacious pads. "Our site was large enough for trailer and truck parking and was pretty level," noted one visitor who stayed at a nearby state park. Spencer's Landing RV Park, located southeast of Clarksville, provides full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections in a quieter setting accessible by both drive-in and walk-in routes.

Road access throughout the region varies by park location, with some requiring navigation through winding mountain roads. Many RV sites feature concrete or asphalt pads, though several reviews mention significant leveling challenges at parks built on hillsides. Cell phone coverage is inconsistent across the area, with T-Mobile service particularly limited in forested locations. While most parks operate year-round, seasonal amenities like pools typically close during winter months. Dump stations are available at most private RV parks, though public campgrounds sometimes offer only central dumping facilities. According to a review, several parks in the region "have no privacy from any other campsite" and feature varying distances between hookup locations and parking pads. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions, and most parks maintain quiet hours from approximately 10pm to 6am.

    Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

    Fantastic State Park

    Camped here on May 1, 2025. This is one of my favorite state parks in the USA. Lots to do here. 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. This time, I got around to trying out the park's campground. This popular campround is divided into 4 areas - A through D. There are a total of 125 campsites, including 26 pull-through sites. Thirty-five of the sites are Class AAA sites which have 50 amp electrical, water, and sewer hookups. There are 90 Class B sites offering 30 amp electrical and water hookups. All sites are reservable. Tent and hammock camping is possible depending on the sites. I camped at site 103 in Area D. The staff at the office helped me pick this site for my campervan. The site had water and 30amp service. The restroom/shower house was clean and well maintained. The campsite itself was dated but clean. The site was large and had trees around it offering a little bit of privacy. The pull-thru drieway was close to the campground road. The site included a picnic table, tent pad, lantern pole, metal fire ring, and grill. Solar charging and Starlink connectivity may not be possible at this site; Area C has an open sky above it. There was some road noise from vehicles driving on Petit Jean Mountain Road which is behind the site. Received good AT&T 5G cell service, but little to no T-Mobile 2G service.  Areas C and D are in the woods. Most of the sites in these areas are on the small size but should easily accomodate a truck camper and smaller. Not all sites are level. Areas A and B can accomodate large rigs and towables.

    2 Days Nice

    A little older of an area. Stayed in site B10. Close to level. We have a 36' 5th wheel, tow vehicle, plus another vehicle. Easy entry into site and large enough for all vehicles. Asphalt with concrete patio. There is a picnic table and fire ring. 50/30/20A We can kind of see the river from this site. Very roomy sites in the woods with plenty of shade. Mostly dirt ground. Older but clean restrooms. We didn't use them. There are single person combined toilet and shower rooms at the front of park. There are mountain bike/hiking trails all over, even a little bike park with ramps and jumps. Playground and boat ramp. No sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. Lots of mosquitoes in the evening. Although some sites need maintenance and the restrooms are old, this is a nice park. We stayed 2 days and would definitely stay again.

    Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

    Beautiful Park with great hiking trails

    Beautiful park with lots of space between spots and large green belt areas to enjoy. The hiking trails were fun and challenging with not many people and we hiked with our dogs. We stayed in a pull through site in Loop A, Spot 29 with full hookups. It had plenty of room for trailer and truck parking and was pretty level. There was no wifi or cell service for T-Mobile. We rode our bikes to the Visitor Center to access wifi and were able to get cell service at the Mather Lodge overlook. There is a really nice walking / bike trail from the campgrounds to the Mather Lodge. The park is well maintained with clean bathrooms and showers. Trash bins were located throughout the camping area. We will visit here again.

    Mount Magazine State Park Campground

    Love It!

    If you are ever driving through Arkansas a trip to Mount Magazine State Park is a must. Mount Magazine is the state’s highest point topping out at 2,753 feet and delivers sweeping views of broad valleys, lakes, winding rivers, and distant mountains. The rugged rock outcroppings protrude from the densely wooded forests. What makes this park even more spectacularly beautiful is that it is surrounded by National Forest lands encompassing glorious acres of woods. 

    In the late 1800’s, the railroad made travel easier and people were drawn to the area for its cooler weather and awe-inspiring scenic beauty. Resort lodges and restaurants sprang up and the resort “Town of Mount Magazine” began. Soon a post office, parks, streets and a dance pavilion dotted the town. The town took a turn when drought, erosion, and the Great Depression brought the town to collapse. The 1934 Resettlement Act purchased all the private land on the mountain and was shortly transferred to the U.S. Forest Service. In the late 1930’s and 40’s, the Works Progress Administration built campgrounds, trails, cabins, and a lodge were constructed. A fire destroyed the lodge in 1971. In 1998, Arkansas State Parks entered into a cooperative agreement with the USDA Forest Service to develop Mount Magazine State Park. The lodge reopened in 2006 and graces the same beautiful setting as the original structure. 

    We found this park very relaxing which is kind of amazing because there is so much for outdoor enthusiasts to do making it hard to sit still. There are miles and miles of hiking trails, horseback riding, hang gliding launches, cycling, and some of the most dramatic locations for rock climbing and rappelling. The diverse mountain ecosystem offers amazing bird watching and wildlife viewing and provides habitat for over 90 species of butterflies. Many were brightening the woods when we were there. We were there at a time when wildflowers were blooming so the forest floor was lit up with color. The higher altitude and cooler weather on the mountain meant that trees had not leafed out yet but a look down in the valley was a stark contrast with trees fully leafed out. The park has a relatively small campground with a meek 18 sites with full hook-up (two of which are 50 amp). Campsites are well-spaced with gravel pads and patios with fire pits and picnic tables. We so enjoyed hanging around our campsite but for those that don’t camp you will be perfectly comfortable in the lodge or cabins. 

    The Lodge at Mount Magazine has breath-taking views and some rooms have spa tubs on their balconies to enjoy the view. Thirteen cabins dot the ridge line offering the same awesome views and Jacuzzi tub options on your balcony. At the lodge is The Skycrest Restaurant which is a nice treat for those not wanting to cook. We decided to have drinks one evening on the veranda enjoying the setting sun lighting the valley. The next day we popped in for lunch where $6 got a plate of open-face prime rib sandwich, mashed potatoes, salad, and squash casserole. Pretty good deal if you ask us. 

    This state park so worked for us. It was the combination of the reading in a quiet wooded campground, being able to go to the lodge for a drink, lunch and great view and spending hours walking in the woods. The park is a good 30 minutes drive from the nearest town so you may want to stock up so you can just relax on the mountain.

    Outlet Area

    RV and Big Rig Friendly Campground along Petit Jean River

    The Petit Jean River, flowing from an outlet, divides this US Army Corp of Engineers campround into two areas. There are 38 campsites, with electricity and water hookups. This includes three multi-family sites. Fees range from $18 to $40. Reservations are made on recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. First come, first served sites may be available outside the reservation season. The campground description at recreation.gov indicates that the campground is located on Blue Mountain Lake, but there is no lake access from here. A drive to Waveland Park is required for Blue Mountain Lake recreation. Most sites are waterfront; a few are just a short walk away from the Petit Jean River. Most sites have picnic table shelters. There are 12 sites and a restroom/shower house along the north bank of the river. The remaining campsites, along with a restroom/shower house, are on the south side of the river. The sites on the north side, except site #6, are in a open area offering little shade. The sites on the south side are along a forest and are more shaded. There is no privacy between campsites; several sites, especially on the south side, are close to each other. The north side restroom/shower house was closed. The south side restroom/shower house was very clean. The roads accessing and in the campground are paved. The campground is setup to accommodate RVs and big rigs, although tent camping is possible. Fishing in the river appears to be the main recreation activity. Walking access to the river bank is provided by stairs. Two playgrounds are at the south side camping area.

    Spacious level sites on concrete pads. Government operation so lawn maintenance is only adequate. Restrooms were clean. Didn't use showers but were available. Fishing nearby on river jetty or by the dam. Dump station is clean.


Guide to Clarksville

RV campgrounds near Clarksville, Arkansas provide a range of experiences from small, privately-owned wine country sites to larger parks with lake access. The Clarksville area sits at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains with elevations ranging from 400 to 1,200 feet, creating varied terrain for camping. Weather varies significantly by season, with summer temperatures averaging 90°F and winter nights frequently dropping below freezing from December through February.

What to do

Wine tasting tours: Several RV parks are situated near local wineries, particularly in Altus. Wiederkehr Winery RV Park offers camping with easy access to tastings. "We felt like we were in Europe while we were here and it was incredible," notes one visitor.

Fishing opportunities: RV parks with lake access provide good fishing options. Adventure RV offers "multiple fishing docks plus a boat ramp, but there is a private fishing pond in the middle of the park as well," according to a recent camper.

Hiking nearby trails: The area features numerous hiking opportunities within short driving distance. At Turner Bend, "Mill Creek trailhead just 2 miles north from our campsite" and they provide physical ATV maps for those wanting to explore the surrounding areas.

What campers like

Quiet, rural settings: Many RV sites offer peace away from main highways. As one camper at Ivy's Cove RV Retreat describes, "Close to town but feels like the country" with "hot showers, laundry, small play area. Very quiet except for the birds that wake you in the morning."

Proximity to small towns: Campers appreciate easy access to local communities. Grape Country RV Park is located "on the wine trail and there are vineyards across the road" making it "a great place to stop. Not to far off of I-40 and has beautiful surroundings."

Helpful owners: Many smaller parks offer personalized service. One camper at Pettigrew RV Park noted, "The owner is great and does everything possible to make sure that your stay is comfortable as possible," despite the campground being relatively new.

What you should know

Limited amenities at some locations: Several parks offer basic services only. Wiederkehr Winery RV Park provides "30 amp & 20 for $15 a night. There are around 10 hookups," but limited additional facilities.

Seasonal closures and variations: Winter camping requires preparation as many facilities reduce services. Most swimming pools close between October and April, and some parks operate with limited staff during winter months.

Site spacing varies significantly: At Fort Smith-Alma RV Park, "You have to keep your blinds closed otherwise you find yourself looking right into the windows of your neighbors on both sides," though they do have "good spacing between sites with lots of trees" in certain areas.

Tips for camping with families

Look for parks with play areas: Some campgrounds offer child-friendly facilities. Fort Smith-Alma RV Park features "a pond along the tent camping area" and a playground that some sites directly face.

Consider wildlife encounters: The region has various insects and wildlife. One camper warned about "these little red mites. I looked them up and they are harmless but they were numerous and made us uncomfortable. I was especially concerned for our 2 dogs."

Check for pet-friendly trails: Many local hiking paths welcome leashed pets. Turner Bend campers appreciate that "we can ride our ATV to the Turner Bend Store to get gasoline and sandwiches" making supply runs easier for families.

Tips from RVers

Arrival timing matters: Several campgrounds have limited office hours. At Love's RV Hookup, one camper advises to "Reserve ahead though as all 4 sites were taken by 3pm on a Sunday."

Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the area require leveling equipment. At Grape Country RV Park, sites are described as "clean, level gravel. Great for one night" though preparation for uneven terrain is still recommended at many locations.

Check cell service before arrival: Coverage varies widely across the region. While major highways generally maintain connectivity, forested and mountainous areas often have limited service for carriers beyond the major providers.
