    Mount Nebo State Park Campground

    Long, unobstructed views and refreshing breezes

    CAMPGROUND REVIEW:: Mount Nebo State Park, Arkansas https://www.arkansasstateparks.com/parks/mount-nebo-state-park

    Turning off I-40 at Exit 88, Mount Nebo is viewed less than 10 miles southwest…a stand-alone mountain.

    At the base of the climb, signs posted numerous times, “Crooked and Steep, no trailers over 24 ft”. I have driven up a lot of steep and twisty mountain roads, and these warnings are to be heeded. Grades are up to 18%.

    The State Park rests up its summit.constructed by the CCC, many of their stonework craftsmanship can be seen in the buildings and trail system.

    The “Rim Trail” is just that…a 3 1/2 mile trail running the top rim of the mountain, with long views. There are two distinct areas of the “Rim Trail” that can be driven to…to capture those special photos…Sunset Point and Sunrise Circle.

    Different sections of the Rim Trail range from easy to moderate to strenuous. They are marked. Bicycles are not permitted on the Rim Trail but are permitted on other trails as are horses. So know and exercise proper trail etiquette.

    There are bear in this area, and precautions are taken by the park. Park staff informed us of numerous venomous reptilian, too…so be aware on the trails, or if you choose to wander off them.

    A large rentable enclosed stone pavilion sits on the end of the mount, between Site 17 and the pool. Yes, a very nice pool (separate daily or annual fee). A standard picnic pavilion also sits out front of the larger stone pavilion beside public parking area.

    The beautiful Visitor Center is deeper into the park to the right. You can sit on its back porch and look out over the valley. There are numerous cabins that are available for rental…and appear very inviting.

    When you crest the top of the mountain, the camping area is directly to the right, as are the pavilions and pool. Cabins dot the summit, but private residences are interspersed among them. As mentioned, the Visitors Center is further up the road to the right…on the right.

    Being on an 1800 ft elevation summit, surrounded by valley…its quiet and enjoys a constant breeze. Enjoying blue skies, the shade trees are appreciated in the camping area.

    On a Wednesday, the 1st of August, we had our pick of beautiful and spacious sights. Very few campers on this day. So we chose site 17, directly on the Rim with unimpeded long views and unobstructed breezes. It was a toss-up between 16 and 17 …even 14 is directly on the Rim. $22 + tax a night.

    Each of these sites had separate electric, water spigot, fire pit, standing grill, picnic table and lantern post. Metal bear cabinets and resistant trash receptacles were clustered conveniently among the campsites. Though I was surprised they didn’t have timber outlined leveled tent areas. In fact, you need to be somewhat creative in locating a level tent spot.

    Restrooms are clean and stocked. The pool showerhouse has but one shower a piece for men and women. The entire park is well-maintained and clean.

    Overall, a very enjoyable and relaxing campground.

    So much to do!

    This was our first time at Petit Jean and definitely won’t be the last! My 1st suggestion: RESERVE EARLY to get a spot in Loop A or Loop B. We stayed in Loop C and I felt a little too secluded. The sites in C & D appeared to be a little smaller. I noticed several sites in B & C were uneven from roots pushing the asphalt up. Beware! Loop A is full hookup while B-D have electricity & water only. We stayed on Site 64 in a pop up style camper. It was fairly level and there were a couple good places for tents. Everyone around us was tent camping. My main complaint was the bathroom. The showers are not very private other than a nasty mildewed shower curtain, but there is no where to dry off or dress that is private. The showers were nasty on the weekend that we went, but it was also a revolving door of a massive group of 30+ tent campers that was using the showers. They were a lot cleaner on Sunday thankfully. The park itself is absolutely breathtaking! We went to the Cedar Falls Overlook, Palisades Overlook and Stout Point Overlook. We also made the hike down to Cedar Falls. It was absolutely incredible, but you should be somewhat in decent shape for this hike as it was not easy! We also hiked Bear Cave. It was nice with lots of exploring around the cave. We ate dinner at Mather Lodge one night. I had the Catfish Platter and it was excellent. I’m already ready to plan another trip here during the summer so we can utilize the boat house and a few other amenities that are closed during the off season. Well worth a fall visit though!

    Windy way but worth it

    It was such a nice campsite and the staff was super helpful. The views were amazing. The drive up the mountain is seriously windy though, so be cautious.

    Mount Nebo State Park Campground

    Camping in the clouds

    I was so excited about this trip! I’ve been trying to talk my husband into making the drive up the “2 miles of Wild” for a while now. The drive up and down the mountain lives up to the hype! It was very nerve wracking pulling up and especially going down so that we didn’t melt the brakes. Definitely use your low gears coming down!

    We scored a site on the edge of the mountain for amazing views. Unfortunately, the site was extremely unlevel and we had a very difficult time getting our tiny camper set up. The next morning we woke up to being inside a cloud. Zero visibility. Couldn’t see anything from our site with a gorgeous view! This is no fault of the park. Just bad weather timing on our end.

    Also be warned that this is a dry county! If you want any adult beverages, plan ahead!

    I really love this campground. I love that only small campers and tent campers can stay here, so we aren’t trapped between giant campers. I really hope that I can talk my husband into a 2nd trip one day with better weather!

    Beautiful and Clean

    We stayed at Petit Jean State Park during the week of Thanksgiving. It’s a popular place, so very busy, but all the campers around us were very courteous, friendly, and obeyed quiet time rules. The sites (we were in a tent in Loop C) were spacious and clean, as were the bathhouses. The Visitor’s Center/Registration was well-stocked and staff was efficient and welcoming. We ate dinner at Mather’s Lodge-the food was mediocre but service was great.

    Last minute fun

    We took our little camper out to Petit Jean for the first time and it was a blast. We were a little unprepared, so we stayed in the overflow area. This part is not paved and has no fire pit, so we couldn't have a fire. If you have a portable fire pit you can have a fire there. Also those spots do not have a grill, but we have a small one that we were able to use. The driveways to get to the overflow area are a bit rough (roots sticking up through the dirt) and it takes a bit to get level (sloped toward the lake). However, the dump station is very clean and convenient. We will definitely come back to Petit Jean in the future.

    All kinds of camping options

    Love this place because there are so many types of camp sites available. Great areas to look around and hike. Restaurant is pretty decent and breakfast was hot and delicious. There’s a little petting zoo thing close by for kids. Playground was great.


Guide to Greenbrier

Glamping in Greenbrier, Arkansas offers access to the Ozark foothills, with elevations ranging from 300 to 1,800 feet creating diverse camping microclimates. The region receives approximately 50 inches of annual rainfall, contributing to the lush forests that surround most camping areas. Weather patterns can change quickly in this transitional zone between the Arkansas River Valley and the Ozark Mountains.

What to do

Waterfall hunting: 30-minute drive from Greenbrier takes you to trails with seasonal cascades. "If in Arkansas, Petit Jean State Park is a must. With a ton of trails, lodge, restaurant, and waterfalls it is a nature lovers dream," notes Andrew S. about Petit Jean State Park.

Wildlife viewing: Dawn and dusk are prime times to spot deer near campsites. "Deer" are among the pros listed by Jackie F. at Mount Nebo State Park, which also features "Sunset and Sunrise points" with excellent wildlife watching opportunities.

Fishing: Rainbow trout are abundant in nearby lakes from March through November. At Greers Ferry Lake, one camper reports, "I pulled out so many rainbow trouts from this lake! The camp sites are close to the water, and the boat docks are easy to access."

Hiking difficulty levels: Many trails around Greenbrier are more challenging than marked. Jackie F. notes about Mount Nebo, "The map says easy... I think that is if you are an expert hiker. There were some steep points and going down various rock trails."

What campers like

Private sites: Spacing between campsites varies significantly across Greenbrier area campgrounds. At Petit Jean State Park, Ryan S. describes B loop: "Enough space between sites for plenty of privacy" while noting the "pine grove" provides "plenty of shade in hot months."

Natural features: Rock formations are prevalent throughout the region. Sondra M. recommends, "I recommend going to the Petit Jean Grave. The view is vast!" while mentioning "Cedar Falls hike is beautiful and a quick fun adventure."

Year-round accessibility: The elevation differences around Greenbrier mean some campgrounds remain comfortable when others don't. "Go Spring or Fall for the View" advises Andrew S. about camping at Petit Jean State Park.

Off-grid experiences: Some campsites offer isolation from technology. Amy & Stu B. notes about Macks Pines: "No ATT or Verizon service there or in the general area, had to download a map that was essentially a PDF to get around."

What you should know

Bathroom facilities: Quality varies widely between campgrounds. Fred S. notes about Petit Jean: "The restroom/shower house was clean and well maintained," while Amy & Stu B. describes Macks Pines showers as "ROUGH, but they exist. They have hot water, but there's a literal nail to operate the handles."

Food access: Limited grocery options in rural areas near glamping sites. According to Amy & Stu B., expect a "Dry county with very few places to buy any food or groceries outside of an hour drive."

Peak seasons: May through September brings the most crowds. Shana D. observed at Dam Site Campground: "We like winter camping, but it appears that they close off most sections of the park during the colder months."

Reservation windows: Some popular sites book up to a year in advance. Ryan S. reports about Petit Jean's A loop: "Stays booked 93% of the year - Park Office. It's really hard to get a reservation if you don't book at least a year out in A loop."

Tips for camping with families

Swimming access: Only select campgrounds offer swimming facilities. Roscoe's R. shares about Macks Pines: "If you want outdoors, get lost in the woods and want to unplug from society then this is the spot," noting it's ideal for families seeking a digital detox.

Kid-friendly trails: Check difficulty levels carefully before hiking with children. N I. describes Cherokee Recreation Area as having "beautiful view with all the water sites" and notes fishing or boating would be the main attraction for families.

Playground availability: Some campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. N I. mentions Little Rock AFB FamCamp has a "pretty pond with a nicely shaded children's play area" that kids enjoy.

Campsite selection: Research the loops as they offer different experiences. Shana D. advises about Dam Site Park: "The location is perfect for enjoying the lake, the Little Red River and all the other outdoor adventures that Heber Springs has to offer."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Many campsites require adjustment equipment. Fred S. shares about Petit Jean State Park: "Not all sites are level," and notes "Areas A and B can accommodate large rigs and towables."

Access restrictions: Mountain roads limit RV size in some areas. Jackie F. warns about Mount Nebo: "Long, unobstructed views and refreshing breezes" but notes the steep grades that restrict larger vehicles.

Hookup variations: Check specific sites for amenities needed. Ryan S. details Petit Jean's options: "B loop pros: 30/50 amp service, water, picnic table, fire ring and trash hook" but cautions "NO SEWER (EXCEPT FOR SITES 47 & 48)" while "A Loop pros: it's new, it's laid out ideally, full hook up sites with sewer."

Alternative glamping: Several camps offer cabin options for RVers seeking more comfort. Elise A. describes Little Rock North KOA as "nice campground. Typical KOA, which was what we needed! Friendly, clean, helpful!"
