APRIL 2020 - Closed temporarily due to storm damage Small campground with Adirondack-type shelters in a remote mountain setting on a small scenic stream. It provides a good site for a base camp for hikers in the Caney Creek Wilderness.

My first impressions of this site were terrible. The Bathrooms are extremely old and honestly seem like they're rotting down. The playground area is small but jot terrible. The area for rvs is pretty cramped with no privacy. Luckily while talking to some folks there they directed us on down the road. There are two more sections specifically for primitive camping that are really nice. There are a couple picnic tables and fire rings. There is also a nice pond. The cell signal isn't terrible but it's a bit hit and miss for internet.
Overall, I would suggest it but don't expect to use their showers or bathroom. Go a couple minutes down the road and use the state parks showerhouse. It's really nice.
Guide
Had a very relaxing time with the family here. The campsite is very clean and the lake is beautiful. All of the staff are great!! Only negative thing was the bathrooms. Heater looked to be on and it was pretty hot inside.
Ranger
The River front sites are the best with FHU's. Taking advantage of the river is the most popular thing to do. There is a golf course nearby too. On site museum at the park visitor's center. I enjoyed the Beaver Creek hike. My biggest complaint would be they put the campsites directly on the river, so if you want to walk along the river, you feel like your in someone's site.
Scout
As of 2023 this campground is under new management.
GuideWe loved this park. It was beautiful, but the signs were a bit confusing and we came in the dark so we parked where we thought our spot was. Well, it wasn’t our spot and we had to move at 8:30 at night. There’s also no service (at least for T-Mobile). Loved the trails and the restaurant.
Guide
Pioneer Campgrounds has hosted 8 family reunions and 7 Boy Scout / Girl Scout Troops in 2023. Great place to camp. Clean cabins, brand new bathrooms, large dining hall and kitchen area.
ScoutWe camped at Fern Circle. It was a lot people going to the bathrooms. Too touristy they also need to be educated about copperheads in the area . Watched a lot of people walk there in the dark without lights with their kids. Found a copperhead near campsite 12 A lady almost stepped on it and didn’t know what that it was poisonous or a copperhead. Other than that we had fun!
Guide
Very very basic park. Sites are barely what you would call improved, all grass, maybe some gravel underneath. Fairly level. At least 8 of the 15 sites have permanent residents. Only one pull through with W/E only. Nothing but a small casino and subway within walking distance. I wouldn’t bother next time.
LegendWe stayed in the Acorn campground right by the river. Clean and well stocked bathrooms, level campsites, and fantastic views. The trees make you think you’re in Colorado. Only thing you need to know is the flood sirens do go off sometimes and are VERY loud.
GuideWe are from TX and came to Arkansas for a wedding. This was my first out of state, state park so keep that in mind. The sites are clean and well cared for. There is exactly ONE pull through site that we were fortunate enough to get. The rest are on a tight road. The highway runs right by the pull through site so the road noise can be loud at times. I recommend staying by the lake if you don’t need a pull through site. There are 2 walking trails and a few playgrounds. No fishing off the pier. The lake is BEAUTIFUL, we saw an alligator (I was quite excited about that). The dump station is a pretty tight squeeze but doable if your site doesn’t have a dump (ours did). ATT cell service SUUUUCKS here. I repeat, it suuuuuucks lol! Picked up 4 TV channels on the 1 rainy day we had. All in all, I would stay here again, just wouldn’t compare it to TX State Parks, because well…. I learned this weekend everything is indeed bigger in Texas.
TravelerIt was and amazing site, very clean and quite. I could throw a stone to the river. Great attractions around the town.
ScoutBeautiful river side half of OK State Park. Beautiful tall trees that whisper when the wind blows. Good hiking. Not busy but only because winter. Fills up fast.
Traveler
Have stayed several times. Normally a pleasant stay. Really just to sleep. Road noise is an issue if you are in an RTT/Tent. RV users may not notice.
RangerWe didn’t end up staying here, but it looked like a decent spot with cabins and plenty of parking. Not too much to do around this campsite but it would work for a night or two
Ranger
This small campground is great for tent/ small van camping right next to the river with easy access for fishing or swimming! We didn’t see any prices but the spots looked pretty well maintained.
Ranger
The campsite is closer to the river/bridge construction than the map says, and was currently blocked by construction vehicles, but it looked like a nice spot with hookups. Pretty noisy with the bridge work going on
Traveler
Camped here in a tent off my motorcycle. Site was awesome. Bathrooms and showers are spotless. The staff is extremely kind and helpful.
TravelerSpent the night at Fern Campground inside Beavers Bend State Park. Amazing Park! The towering canopy takes your breath away. We enjoyed a tasty dinner on the grill. Fly fishing the rapids of Spillway Creek below Broken Bow Lake and above Lower Mountain Fork River with my boys quickly became a memory I will never forget.
GuideGreat place for a family rendezvous outdoors. Stayed in Site 15 for 4 days and will go back soon to Site 17 on the water. Kids had a great time.
TravelerLocated in SE Oklahoma, this park is very large. Several trails and pull off spots near river and lake. Hochatown has several restaurants, food trucks, breweries and small kid activities such as bumper cars, mini golf and a maze. It's still a state park but offers more nearby options than most state parks. We stayed 4 nights but I would have loved to stay longer. We paid up for a newly renovated premium spot on the river - Buckeye campground site 4. Restrooms, showers and a small laundry room on site. If traveling in the summer, I would recommend Acorn or Cypress campground - shaded!
GuideNice park just outside Ashdown AR. The dam road is very close and the lumber trucks are load and often. Nice sites and well cared for. Very friendly staff. I’d recommend staying by the lake. Not as much traffic noise and better views.
ScoutWhile this campground is gorgeous, I cannot recommend. The reservations are online only and there is no coverage in the camping area, WIFI at the office. Then the website does not confirm your spot, you have to wait for a email (takes about 30 minutes). Also, the reservation system showed the area I stayed as nearly full. In fact there were only 3 sites of 13 in used and we were all right next to each other. Once you are settled in for the night, the water release siren goes off. This happened at midnight and again about 2am. It is not something you will sleep through.
RangerCampsites are on a one way road and some were tight, but it’s a quiet beautiful park right by the lake. Nice trail for walks and big playground for kids.
TravelerOld and sites are waaaay too close together. Beautiful lake.
ScoutOk so in fairness, we are here end of January 2022. This place is Deserted and everything is closed. However, it is a great place to relax since there is NOTHING going on here.
The staff could not have been nicer. Suzanne (camp manager) went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Also made accommodations for me to work ( since I still work full time from the road). Everyone is super nice. Thank you Neally & Cassi. Beautiful people.
Cell phone signal for T-Mobile is non existent. Verizon is AWFUL. AT&T is bad but doable.
RangerWe camped in Fern which we really enjoyed. Ample space at campsites. River view is beautiful. Fern is in front of the horse depot and train. In the summer I would imagine this is a high traffic area so Acorn and Cypress may be more desirable. The whole area is beautiful and relaxing or has plenty of activities if you choose. No Wifi but cell signal was good. Tent campgrounds were nice also. Lake pretty but we liked river views better. Staff very friendly but make sure and register all vehicles or get a ticket. Use the AllTrails app. Fantastic handicap sites!
GuideBeautiful site on the river. Use the bathroom by campsites 5/6, others are old and dirty. If you can get Acorn #1, do—it’s the most remote and you can hear the overflow from the dam. Take mosquito repellent.
