Merrisach Lake Campground and Day Use Park is situated on the banks of Merrisach Lake and the Arkansas Post Canal in the lush bottomland forest of eastern Arkansas. The campground is described as off the beaten path, providing visitors with the peace and quiet to enjoy fishing, hunting, picnicking and boating.
The campground and day use park offers visitors the perfect amount of seclusion to enjoy the outdoors. Visitors enjoy fishing for bass, crappie and catfish in Merrisach Lake and other tributaries of Pool 2. The tailwaters of Wilbur D. Mills Dam provide excellent opportunities to catch many species of gamefish, especially catfish. Visitors to this area also find great hunting, birding and boating opportunities. Merrisach sits on the famed Mississippi Flyway, where millions of songbirds, ducks, geese and butterflies pass during migration.
The Arkansas Post Canal creates a waterway from the Arkansas River to the White River, and Merrisach Lake stems from the pool between the Wilbur D. Mills Dam and Lock Number 2. Wilbur D. Mills Pool boasts 96 miles of shoreline and 10,600 acres of water.
The Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge is a haven for wildlife and migratory birds, and is one of the largest remaining bottomland hardwood forests in the Mississippi River Valley. The National Park Services's Arkansas Post National Memorial is also a great place to visit while camping in the area.

Great facilities. First time at an Arkansas state park and impressed.
LegendThere are nearly 100 sites here at Village Creek State Park. They are Spacious, paved and well maintained. The campground is spread out on plenty of land. 2nd largest park in Arkansas in such a tiny town. Many deer walking freely at night. Water and electric hookups, bathrooms and a museum too. They have concerts occasionally here in the big field. Cabins are great too above the rim of the lake. Many hikes to take here and so peaceful. There are stables and horse trails as well as mountain biking. The park is located in Wynne, Arkansas. I have visited here many times camped in RV and stayed in the cabins. The rangers are always friendly and it is close to my relatives in Forrest City.

This was one of the last parks available on the Memorial Day weekend. One of the great things for us was the proximity of some Arkansas State Parks such as Cane Creek and Arkansas Post. First we were in E campground and it was not very well taken care of. The pads for the campers were starting to become covered up with grass and tree debris. Our picnic table has a corner busted off and the water hydrant was combined for two sites to one hydrant spot. Our 25 ft hose was too short so we borrowed a hose from the camp manager till we were able to buy another 25 footer. There was no showers in E and the restrooms were just toilets, no sinks to wash your hands. We were told by several people that we would be all but guaranteed to see an alligator but we never did. Not that they aren’t there, we just never got that lucky. The dump station is probably a mile and a half from the campground so if you have a grey water tote tank that you pull behind the truck like me, expect a fairly long drive. Overall it was an ok park but the campground E was definitely on the decline. Other campgrounds seemed to be in better shape but still sad that part of the park is in such shape. I would not put this on the top of my list but it’s not the worse either.
GuideWe camped at Village Creek State Park in the Crowley’s Ridge region of Arkansas over Labor Day weekend. We booked two class B RV sites - one for ourselves and one for my husband’s parents - in advance. On our way to camp we got a call informing us that they had accidentally deleted one reservation assuming it was a duplicate (same name), and that there were no longer two sites together in that loop. They offered to re-book us in the only section that still had side-by-side campsites available. Village Creek is a somewhat unique park in that has an Equestrian Camp offering with stables, exercise corrals, water, mounting blocks and the like available for those who would like to travel with their own horses. While it was not what we originally booked, staying in “Horse Camp” was really cool and different - a BIG hit with our kids. The park has over 30 miles of equestrian trails and is a popular destination for horse owners. While all of that made for really cool atmosphere, the sites themselves left a lot to be desired. 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, with lots of brush, branches and vines hanging around them. We tried to use the table and fire ring on our first night and abandoned it for the rest of the trip. Our inlaws’ table was in such a dangerous location that we couldn’t access it at all, and we quickly realized was a cozy home for copperheads. Our water hookup had a wasp nest inside it. All of these details made it hard to relax as we were constantly on our guard with our kids and dog. We checked out the other camping areas and they were in much better shape, recently renovated and with full hookups. The trails at Village Creek were BEAUTIFUL. There is a particularly stunning trail that includes one of the most well-preserved sections of the Trail of Tears. This made for both an lovely hike and a history lesson for our seven year old. The Crowley’s Ridge region of the state is home to unique geological formations, soil and plant life unlike anywhere else in Arkansas. The Big Ben Nature Trail offers a great opportunity to identify these unusual plant species and is a short, easy hike. However, erosion is a big issue on the ridge, and sections were somewhat washed out after recent heavy rains. There are two small lakes that are popular with anglers. A couple of boat ramps are available for fishing boat launch. There is a small swimming area for campers only, but this lake is not great for swimming as it is pretty muddy. Take lots of bug spray in summer, and maybe only consider horse camp if you HAVE a horse. It’s worth a walk through in the morning or late afternoon when riders are tacking up or returning from rides.

CONS
County burn ban in place upon arrival but no signage anywhere alerting of ban. We saw the Arkansas burn ban website and inquired upon checkin if it was enforced and park clerk affirmed ban but we saw many campers had a wood fire burning all the time. So without any signage we understand the confusion and noncompliance. Park should at least place burn ban signage at campground entrance.
Site 57 unlevel side-to-side
No cell service.
No public phone in park.
Parks signage states WiFi at park visitor center could be used to make phone calls. We found this not true with our T-MOBILE service as we purposely went to the visitor center to make a WIFI call. There is WIFI at visitors center but only one bar and too weak to transmit a call. So if there is an emergency after visitor center is closed and you need to make a call, good luck, as there is no public phone nor any camp hosts. We drove approximately 8 miles towards Wynne to get sufficient cell signal to make calls and connect with internet.
Only free WiFi is at park visitor center. We purchased WiFi from park vendor Viasat $20 unlimited for 3 days for one device. Viasat delivered a good signal within 200 ft of toilet/shower facility so it was useless in our campsite#57. Don’t waste your money! Sewer connection at rear of site pad so bring the looooong stinky slinky!
Pets not kept on leash
No security gate closure overnight

This is a bare bone site with full hookups on drive through concrete pads. Nice and level. $20.00 cash.
LegendThis isn't a campground, but more of a place to park your RV if you have other things to do in the area or just need a place to park and sleep. Seems that many people come here for the Blues Festival. Sites are tight and no picnic tables or fire rings.
Scout
No frills, nice pull through sight for our 43’ 5th wheel. No cable, picnic table or bath house. However very easy hookups, free WiFi, low price and nice grass for our dog. Would definitely stay here again. Right next to Old Sawmill Cafe.
GuideWe stayed in Site# 2 💦🔌💩
Amazing campground for a pass through campground(the lack of laundry/bathhouse held us back from 5)
WiFi-✔️▫️Streaming- from phone Cell Service AT&T Verizon- both had good service
Accessibility- Easy to get to
Sites- Pull Thru and Back In available, gravel sites, fairly level, small, no table, no grill, no fire ring
Amenities- None
👍🏻This RV Park was conveniently located off I40, easy to get into, very clean, super friendly owners, we felt safe, very laid back atmosphere with minimal paperwork(no signing your life a way😉), and a perfect stop to spend the night on your journey.
👎🏻There are no amenities, no bathhouse, no laundry, sites are a little tight, no picnic table, fire ring, or grill. While this RV Park is lacking all the“extras” it is perfect for stopping through to spend the night or even as a place to stay while in town for work. There were several restaurants, gas stations and some grocery stores, including a Walmart, nearby. Going into this park with the appropriate expectations(just a quick stop to sleep) is key.
ScoutAs soon as we opened the truck doors I would estimate 12-15 sweat bees flew into the car. Additionally there were mosquitos and May flies all over. We were killing mosquitos in our truck the next day for about 5 hours of that trip. The sewage sat higher than my camper black/grey water so I had to lift the hose multiple times to drain my water.
The owners were nice and the lots were level.
ScoutThey were very flexible with the time that I had to check in, I told them that I would be arriving early in the morning, 1 AM. Everything was set up though, they even had a small orange cone marked “Reserved” for me. I actually didn’t get to the campground until 4:30 AM. No issues at all, the gentleman was very accommodating and extremely nice.  They still had to charge me the full price but that is totally understandable.
ScoutAs others have said here, the park is right off the freeway, within walking distance of several restaurants, a grocery store, and Walmart. I did hear some traffic but it was huge noise to me. I even overslept a bit. Google maps won’t get you all the way to the site. Thanks to Gary’s handy map I didn’t have a problem finding it. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there is no shower or bathroom facility.
RangerIdeal campground for a quick night on the move down I-40. Campground check in was easy, the pull through sites level, clean, and convenient, and the campground incredibly close to the interstate with shops conveniently right nearby. Great spot to stop en route!!
LegendPros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Pull thru site Level site
Cons: Gravel site No amenities Limited shade
GuideNo amenities. Like showers and toilets. No pool, no picnic tables, no fire pit. Gravel spots. They do have water, electric and sewer. Clean Campground.
ScoutWe had reservations for another place further down the road but decided to leave a day early and see if we could find something on the road. This place fit the bill! It’s convenient to the highway and while we have our food, there are places to eat close by. The owner was polite and met us at the gate and showed us to our site. There are few big trees and it’s more suitable for RV camping than tent camping but this was exactly what we needed this trip. Thanks so much!
GuideMy wife and I stayed 2 nights while we rested as we travel across the country. The park is right off of I-40. You may find you question your GPS as the entrance is through what seems like a strip mall, it it is there. We made reservations ahead of time and I would recommend this as the campground quickly fills up in the late afternoon. We did need to call a number posted in the campito determine our site, but the experience was quick and professional. Each site is a full hookup on a gravel pad with easy leveling. The campground itself is clean and well maintained. The campground caters to those looking for a single overnight stay so there are no amenities.
ScoutDelta Ridge RV Park emerges as a geometry dash sanctuary for travelers seeking solace and rejuvenation.
GuideNice large and level sites, booked last minute and no problem to get in.
RangerLovely small campground. Well maintained. They meet you at the gate and show you to site then come to camper to collect your stay after your set up. Gentlemen was extremely kind and friendly. Perfect host and we felt that personal touch as they welcomed us and thanked us for staying with them. Spaces were perfectly spaced. No issues with amenities. They had Wi-Fi if we wanted it but we have it on board. No cable. Easy in and easy out. There’s a restaurant at the entrance that’s an easy walk. Highly recommend.
RangerI stayed 3 nights, most people do not. great WiFi for free. Walmart within walking distance. Fuel available at good prices. lots of food service places. Hard to find. It's between the restaurant and I-40. there were lots of frantic birds at dusk everyday I was there.
TravelerRight off I-40. Easy access and friendly management. Close to food, gas and shopping. Highway noise was not a problem. Pull through sites with plenty of room. We have been here two times. Call when you arrive and they will give you instructions
TravelerI stayed a few days during the week. It's a pretty spot by a lake. Clean restrooms with showers.
ScoutThis is a huge Campground with lots of available activities such as hiking on the Trail of Tears, boating, fishing... the RV sites are flat and they have water and electricity, the bathrooms are clean, the staff is friendly and the area feels safe. There is a dump station as she exit each Campground loop. We had no signal on ATT but there is free WIFI by the office which you can connect to day or night.
GuideFirst time at Village Creek State Park. Well maintained and a large footprint. We had site 55 which was a pull-thru AAA near a bathroom and was very pleased with the level site. As evening approaches the mosquitoes come out to play so have your spray handy! Didn’t have time to explore much but looks like plenty to do. Good campground!
GuideLittle to no AT&T cell signal. We were able to get 3-4 mbs with our hot spot plugged into an antenna about 10’ in the air. The people were great, all of the sites are spread out bathrooms are dated but well maintained. Firewood was pricey so I would bring your own.
ScoutWe live 15 miles from this park so we camp here often. It's quiet and peaceful. There is little to no service but we love to just relax without phones.
