Village Creek State Park near Wynne offers cabin camping with modern amenities and lake views. Sites are available for advance reservation throughout the year, with several accommodation options for visitors seeking outdoor recreation. The cabins provide electricity, basic furnishings, and kitchen facilities while keeping campers close to trails and water activities. Two additional options exist at Bear Creek Lake Recreation Area and Hollywood Casino RV Park, each offering different cabin experiences within driving distance.
What to do
Horseback riding opportunities: Village Creek State Park maintains an equestrian camp with covered stalls, mounting blocks, and over 30 miles of horse trails. "Bring your horse, bring your bike, bring your yak and pole, decisions, decisions. Horse camping complete with covered stall area and trail," notes reviewer Shelly S. about the Village Creek State Park Campground.
Golfing between cabin stays: The 27-hole golf course at Village Creek provides a recreational alternative to hiking and fishing. According to one visitor, "The golf course here is really nice, hiking trails good as well. If you stay in the B loop, you're about a two mile hike to the hiking trails fyi. The A loop is much closer to that."
Lake fishing: Bear Creek Lake Recreation Area features prime fishing opportunities with waterfront cabin access. "Beech Point Campground is an amazing lakeside spot. Our site came with a bench to view the lake and tent pad is in the perfect spot," reports Steve S. about the Bear Creek Lake Recreation Area.
Trail exploration: Distinctive hiking trails showcase the region's unique geology and history. "There is a particularly stunning trail that includes one of the most well-preserved sections of the Trail of Tears. This made for both a lovely hike and a history lesson for our seven year old," mentions one camper about Village Creek's historical significance.
What campers like
Quiet, secluded cabin locations: Cabin guests appreciate the serene environment and privacy between sites. "This place is very beautiful and DEEP into to woods. The sites are very spread out with privacy though and we loved that!" shares Brittany R. about their stay at Village Creek State Park Campground.
Clean, modern facilities: Cabins and bathhouses receive positive reviews for cleanliness and maintenance. "The bathrooms were very nice. Throughout the campground, sewer hook-ups are available," notes a camper about their experience at Bear Creek Lake.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The area supports diverse wildlife observation possibilities. "We were even able to spot an Eagle!! Just perfect in every way," explains a visitor at Bear Creek Lake Recreation Area, highlighting unexpected nature encounters.
Resort amenities: Hollywood Casino RV Park cabins provide access to additional entertainment options. "You can use the casino's swimming pool," mentions Mi W., while another reviewer adds, "Indoor pool is nice but not heated. We did drive to Memphis a few times, about a 50min easy drive."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Weather affects trail conditions and cabin comfort throughout the year. "We stayed during July and wished we weren't staying in a tent and would have come at a cooler part of the year. Was too hot to do anything at the beginning of July," explains one camper about their summer experience.
Cell service limitations: Remote cabin locations mean limited connectivity. "We lost service about 5/10 minutes out from the park with Verizon so if there are things you need to search before do that!" cautions Brittany R. about Hollywood Casino RV Park - Tunica.
Terrain challenges: The unique Crowley's Ridge geography creates distinct site conditions. "It almost looks like major erosion has occurred since these sites were first built - at every site in this loop, the picnic table and fire ring are IN the woods, and often partway down a ravine," reports one visitor about certain Village Creek sites.
Reservation procedures: Reservation policies vary between properties. "Check In is a little tricky the first time, since it's done at the hotel check in. But we found out we can just park our RV and call to let them know what sight we're on, as long as no one specifically reserves it," explains a regular at Hollywood Casino RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Multiple recreation options keep children engaged during cabin stays. "The kids loved playing in the leaves," shares one visitor, while another notes, "My kids brought there bikes and enjoyed the one bike trail" at Village Creek State Park.
Educational opportunities: Cabin camping provides learning experiences through historical trails. "The Big Ben Nature Trail offers a great opportunity to identify these unusual plant species and is a short, easy hike," recommends one Village Creek State Park Campground visitor about the unique Crowley's Ridge vegetation.
Safety considerations: Parents should be prepared for natural elements. "Take lots of bug spray in summer, and maybe only consider horse camp if you HAVE a horse," advises a camper, while another mentions, "Our water hookup had a wasp nest inside it," highlighting the need for vigilance with children.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Experienced RVers recommend specific areas for the best experience. "There are 14 full hookup sites that all have a water view, some actually by the water. Very small campground but up to date," advises Kathy E. about Hollywood Casino RV Park - Tunica.
Level sites availability: Finding level ground is important for comfortable RV cabin camping. "The sites are paved and level," notes an RVer, while another mentions, "The site was very leveled!" about their Village Creek experience.
Hookup options: Different areas offer varying utility connections. "The sites are nice and level with full hookups," reports one visitor, while another specifies, "Water and electric 50 amp at each site. Dump station."
