This recreation area is part of Greers Ferry Lake
Choctaw Park is located on the spacious Greers Ferry Lake nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. In the 19th century, a city named Higden flourished where the lake now rests. The city suffered from frequent flooding and as a result a man-made lake was created for flood control of the area. Today, the city's remains sit below the lake, enticing scuba divers and archeologists alike.
Whether a visitor prefers boating, water skiing, fishing, swimming or scuba diving, Greers Ferry Lake has it all. The river tributaries keep anglers entertained, as they produce some of the largest walleye in the world; the record breaker was a whopping 23 lbs. In spring, the countryside becomes a photographer's paradise with wildflowers, redbud and dogwood trees in full bloom.

Nice place to camp. Just no signal. Also a little expensive for me but others may not think so!
Beautiful campground. Site was not level front to back but plenty of space. Even ate at the restaurant which was nice.
I found everything to be absolutely amazing! Ive also wanted to visit pettit jean , and when i finally did it was so much more than i even imagined. Beautiful, stunning, and can’t wait to visit again!!!!
Our campsite was perfect. It was near the lake with full hook ups. We had plenty of space and one side was woods.
Gorgeous!! We enjoyed our stay. We had no service, but the lodge was so nice to be able to do homeschool and work. Everyone was super nice.

Out of the Arkansas State Parks that we have already visited, Woolly Hollow has been the best!! It’s a very beautiful park!! The sites are all asphalted and the bathhouse is located in the center of all of the sites so access is easy. I wish we could have stayed longer but we are planning to go back once the water level of the lake gets up and can swim.
This is one of my favorite camping trips! The scenery will blow you away. The park has amazing overlooks for those of us that are not big hikers and some trails that are not too long. I recommend hiking sticks because even the shorter trails can be rocky but it is worth it! We drove to every overlook. There are shady areas to enjoy the view and have a snack/lunch. Each area was different so do not skip them!
We did Rock Cave and Bear Cave Trails that stated the difficulty as "easy". Both trails had obstacles and were not a walk in the park. Take your time and watch your step. I used a walking stick and my partner for support at times. It was slow going in some areas and younger people zoomed right past us. That was okay! The Cedar Falls Overlook was a boardwalk and accessible for strollers/walkers but it was still a little ways to go.
We camped in our pull behind camper in loop D. Our site was great except it was steeper than anticipated. Be aware of the site you book and come prepared with extra chocks, blocks and/or stabilizers. Our site was spacious and clean. The bathhouse was also clean and well maintained. We drove through the other loops for reference. Loop A looked good all the way around. Loop B looked new, as if all sites are full hookup with smooth, paved drives including a parking area. Loop C was very woody and wild compared to B! Its worth mentioning again...find campsite pictures online so you know what you are booking.
I highly recommend visiting this park! We have already a booked another stay for next spring.
Beautiful! So peaceful. If tent camping, sites 17,14,16 have the best views of an overlook. Cabins 11 and 14 have great views as well.
Super cool paths, views and community. Tons of historical value and it's obvious that Arkansas cares about it's forests, natural resources and outdoor communities. Tons of people everywhere no matter where you venture off to though.
This is a great place to visit . Trailers under 20’ only , steep road and switchbacks up the mountain . No RV’s will make it . Also home to a Monument Trail mountain biking system that’s is world class . There is a swimming pool showers and hiking for days . Only the park store is on top of the mountain . Hike in camp sites are available , group sites and 30 amp hookups with water . Some sites are a little un level . Spend some time here , you will not regret it . Most cell carriers work well up here
Stayed two nights here. Loved it. My one recommendation is that you bring a lot of water hose. I had 50’ and it wasn’t enough. The water was located way at the front of the site and I couldn’t access it. And it was impossible to get my site level. My neighbor had the same issues.
This park is great. It had hiking trails and a CCC hike/bike trail, an antique automobile museum, lots of scenic overlooks, cabins, a lodge, an amazing visitor center and restaurant. I had the best time here. Lots of Civilians Conservation Corps architecture. They built the whole park with the exception of some of the newer cabins .
What a beautiful park! Spacious level site. Clean bathhouse. Rangers were very helpful and knowledgeable about the park. Plenty of adventures to be had (Cedar Creek falls, Seven Hollows Trail, etc.).
It was great. I have the only tent site they offer. It’s away from the RV area. The couple that runs the KOA are super friendly. There is a pool but not open for some reason. Small dog park. Camp store. Clean. And an ice cream shop! The only drawback is it’s close to the freeway and you can hear a LOT of traffic.
Beautiful place to visit and camp. So much history of CCC camp in this area. Plenty of waterfalls and trails to find.
Such a beautiful park and amazing view from our campsites! The trails were nicely kept and the waterfall we hiked to on Lizard Trail was so picturesque! Not a big park and like how the community blended in with the park. We aren’t cyclists but it’s a great spot to bring your bikes.
My favorite park so far in Arkansas.
This park is by far one of the most well taken care of parks I have ever visited. Accommodations for everyone. Tent camping, yurts, rv campground, cabins, the lodge rooms, if you can't find something that suits you its on you not the park. Lol. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Hiking trails for everyone. Waterfalls, caves, canoeing, fishing, and even have gift shops. So much to see and do here. Highly recommend.
This is an awesome campground with great bathrooms, all the items you need at the park and plenty of trails to explore.
Steep switchbacks up to the campground. The campground has private residences dispersed throughout. The outlay of the park is somewhat confusing. Be sure to study a map well. The campground is almost immediately to the right as you get to the top, but you have to go past that quite a ways to the visitor's center to check in. The views are amazing, but it is windy being at the top of the mountain. There are cabins but I stayed at a campsite (#14) with a view. The bathroom facilities near the campground are a bit of a walk from the campground. If you have your own potty tent, you may consider bringing it. My site was not level so I used leveling blocks. I have my Jeep outfitted for sleeping in. The more interior sites looked to be more level. No big rigs are allowed up the mountain, I think nothing longer than 24'. I did not take any of the hiking trails, so I can't comment on those. My old dog just can't do too much hiking anymore. Staff were friendly. The electricity worked great, but the water spigot was barely functional. Bathroom was kept clean and had one shower with typical camp wall spigot. The road down the mountain leads into a small, industrial type town. Walmart, Dollar General is nearby as well as many typical restaurants. I utilize a WeBoost, and a hotspot on my iPhone. I was able to stream shows without much buffering. I got anywhere from 1-4 bars on ATT LTE.
We got in around 6:30pm and was met and led to our site(right in front across from office) We were told if we were going to disconnect our 40ft Jayco Eagle that we had to pull it all the way to front of site and park truck behind. This necessitated the need to buy a longer black water line for $161.00. Could not find any garbage receptacles close but was late and didn't get much time to acclimate. Left early to continue our trip
Staff is friendly. Campground is next to the freeway. You get a lot of road noise. All of the cabins are over grown. Sites are easy access but tight, not much room between rigs if both rigs have slides. There is a lot of long term guess. Not what I would expect from any KOA. You may not feel safe at this park if you a traveling alone.
This was a nice little KOA with lots of travelers near I-40.
I think at one time, this was an awesome site until the freeway. VERY noisy. I would have given two stars, however, the hosts are wonderful and they have an ICE CREAM PARLOR next to the office. The space itself is level and has a concrete pad for the picnic table. Space Y-9 which is a PT.
this campground is geared more to the atv / utv / jeep / offraod vehicle crowd. if you are use to / expecting an rv resort that is the same as staying at your own home this is not for you. if you want outdoors, get lost in the woods and want to unplug from society then this is the spot. some sites require a bit of leveling, lots of full hookup and good amount of 50 amp. some sites are close, so are not. cafe onsite during the weekend with good breakfast and AWESOME burgers. i know many folks love to cookout when rving, but the burgers are worth a stop.
in just the 3 years since our first visit, greg has improved / continues to improve at an incredible rate. as with my title, and review above, greg and his wife are top notch hosts. they truly love what they do and want to do everything to make sure your stay is enjoyable. neighbors are friendly and respectful, no issues.
short drives from the campgrounds to beautiful scenery with a little bit of research, or ask greg. alot are even accessible by car. take the 30 min drive to hillbillys lims bbq as well.
We stayed in site 26 and were pleased with the cleanliness, serenity, and size of the sites at the campground. Check in was easy. We were really pleased with the bike trail that went from the site to the visitors center. We hiked the trails, biked, walked, and simply had the best time. We did not use the restrooms/bathhouse. The gift store in the visitor center had cute items if you needed anything and the staff were courteous and friendly. We will definitely be back!
We stayed for 3 nights and participated in multiple events that the staff conducted. It was a great time. Learned about hummingbirds, bears, petit jean history.
It is a small State Park, it has a nice fall that takes about an hour and a half to take the trail to the bottom.
