      Sites are closer together than what appears online—overall clean and well maintained. A hike to the bathhouse but there is one!

      Little Rock North KOA

      Older, but still nice

      Facilities look dated, but staff was great. Had an electrical problem on our pole after we were already set up and working. Allowed us to use neighboring site electricity, and started fixing ours. Lots of mature trees. Right off interstate so decent amount of road noise, but not a big deal.

      Crystal Ridge RV Park at Ron Coleman Mine

      Great place does need some attention.

      Been camping here for a few years now. Quiet at night. Clean bathroom and showers. Campground a little rocky and hilly. Some sites need some attention, minor water dripping or damage to facets mostly great place. Wonderful hosts. Gary and Michele. Good price.

      Beautiful campground!!

      Me and my husband loved this campground!! There were tons of lots to choose from and it felt very private. There were hot showers which is a huge bonus when you’re camping! The owners showed us around and are very friendly and nice to talk to.

      Hot Springs National Park KOA

      Hot Springs

      The camp ground is hilly, but all the site are flat and level, the basic site comes with a picnic table, electric, water, and a fire ring. The staff are very friendly and helpful, as we were a last minute check in. The bathroom facilities are very clean, air conditioned, and individual room that include a nice size shower. They have a very nice pool and offer shuttle service into Hot Springs!!

      Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

      Phenomenal Vacation!

      We stayed a week at Petit Jean in one of their gorgeous cabins. It was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend. The check-in and check-out was easy. Finding the cabin was easy with the directions and map we were given. They were clearly marked, with parking for two vehicles, as they were setup like a duplex. The cabin was beautiful and clean, inside and out. There was a large, heavy, all wood porch swing on each side. Relaxing in it was a peaceful experience, listening to the sounds of birds and the breeze through the tall pines. Inside it was all beautifully stained wood and roomy enough for two people, much like a hotel room, except for the cathedral ceiling. In fact, the setup was better than most hotel rooms we have stayed in. There was a mini-fridge with a small freezer, microwave, coffee pot(with coffee, cups, creamer, sugar, etc,) a Keurig, blow-dryer, iron, ironing board, and broom. It had all the toiletries: soap, shampoo, conditioner, tissue, cups. The open closet had plenty of shelving and hangers for clothing and bags. The bathroom was standard with water that quickly got hot for your bath or shower. There were two full size beds with comfortable mattresses, plenty of pillows and warm bedding, with a nightstand between. There were plugs to charge your phone and a landline. There was also a fireplace, however it was locked closed. The air unit in the room had cooling/heating that was easy to operate and sufficiently cool. We were near the highway, close to the lodge, but did not hear traffic while in the cabin. Parking at Mather Lodge is just like any other, with a short, easy walk to the entrance. Once inside, you pass the check-in desk, a small, well-stocked gift shop,(with something for every age,) an open meeting area and bar before reaching the restaurant. It is beautifully constructed from large logs stained and polished to a gleaming shine. From floor to ceiling, it is the epitome of rugged elegance. We ate breakfast and dinner exclusively at the lodge. The food was exemplary, every meal, cooked to perfection and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and we were never rushed or made to feel as if we overstayed our welcome. The service was fast, even when every table was occupied. The servers were friendly and attentive. We had only one server, one time that was"less than," maybe she was new, not sure, but we did not see her again. Tommy, Thomas, Jessie, Brad, Rebekah, and Lindsay were all so pleasant, always greeting us, even when they weren't our servers, remembering us and making us feel like family. The view of the gorge with it's tall trees and towering rock formations was incredible! There was a common area behind the lodge, just outside the restaurant with tables, chairs and benches for observing the gorge, taking photos, relaxing and socializing. You could walk right down to the edge of the huge flat rocks for photos with a stunning background. We spent every evening there, watching the exquisite sunsets. This place is a nature lovers paradise. There is a pool surrounded by loungers behind and to the side of the lodge. It was clean and well-kept with a small waterfall at one end. Thick thirsty towels are provided for your convenience. The grounds are beautifully maintained. We never saw or heard a mower but the grass was cut to perfection and there wasn't a single piece of litter in the entire park. At check-in we were given a map, brochure and weekly schedule of events/tours at the park. The map was very necessary for navigating around this extensive park of which the lodge area was only a small part. The brochure described the hikes and other available activities(such as climbing and repelling) with descriptions of what could be observed, length and difficulty levels. Trust the brochure! If it says strenuous, it is. Plan accordingly. There were four ranger guided tours the week we were there. We took two of them. They were genuinely interesting and pleasurable. Baron, our ranger, was exceedingly knowledgeable about the geology, animal and plant life and history of the area. Exceptionally so, for someone who was seemingly so young. He was attentive to the needs of those attending the tours, stopping to rest if necessary and moving a bit slower for us older folks. He was so affable and easy to talk with, it seemed as if we were old friends. Willing to spend extra time after the tours, talking with us, was an indication of how much he enjoyed his job. We were very appreciative of someone of his character and enjoyed spending time with him. He is the perfect model of what one would think a park ranger is and should be! Any hike can be taken unguided and there are plenty of them. In fact, we had plans to go outside the park on other hikes, but never made it off the property for those. We actually did not have enough time to do all we wanted to do within the park. If you are looking for a phenomenal vacation, this is the trip you should take!

      Ouachita Campground at Edendell

      Beautiful place to stay

      The scenery is lovely with so many options for how you can stay there. The owners are helpful and very friendly.

    Guide to Jessieville

    Cabins near Jessieville, Arkansas provide year-round access to the Ouachita Mountains region, with elevations ranging from 700 to 2,300 feet creating diverse ecosystems for campers to explore. The area receives approximately 55 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush forests and vibrant waterways that cabin campers can enjoy regardless of season. Winter cabin rentals typically range from $85-200 per night depending on amenities and proximity to water.

    What to do

    Crystal mining excursions: 1-3 miles from cabins. Crystal Ridge RV Park at Ron Coleman Mine offers cabins within walking distance of crystal digging opportunities. "For $20 you can go spend the day diggin through dirt and finding crystals. I don't think everyone has the luck we had but we came after a rain and cleaned up. Hundred bucks in gems," notes Justin M.

    Hiking mountain trails: Access from most cabin locations. Hikers staying at cabins near Brady Mountain enjoy multiple trail options. "The campground was a little hard to find, about 22 miles from I-30 but we found it. Check-in was easy, directions to our site clear," explains Ricky L., highlighting the remote nature of some cabin locations.

    Kayaking and boating: Equipment rentals available. Lake access from cabins provides water recreation opportunities. "A little slice of Heaven. Kayak rental was cheap (and didn't charge extra for staying out longer!)" says Amanda H. about her lakeside cabin experience, noting the value and flexibility of water equipment rentals.

    What campers like

    Cabin privacy levels: Varies by location. Lake Catherine State Park Campground offers cabins with strategic positioning. "We had a site overlooking the lake. We had plenty of room to hang our hammocks and play yard games," shares Alison C., emphasizing the spaciousness not mentioned in other descriptions.

    Off-season cabin availability: Less crowded winter options. Winter cabin rentals provide quieter experiences. "We only stayed here one night on our way home, so we didn't really get to use everything at our disposal. The sites are close to each other, but they are stair stepped, so you feel like you have more privacy which was really nice," explains Chris H. about his cabin experience.

    Modern cabin amenities: Options vary widely. Catherine's Landing offers more upscale cabin accommodations. "The yurts looked very nice from the outside. The shower rooms are large and stone tiled," notes Taylor D., highlighting alternative cabin-style options with upgraded features.

    What you should know

    Cabin reservation timelines: 6-12 months recommended. Popular cabin locations book quickly, especially waterfront options. "A loop pros: it's new, it's laid out ideally, full hook up sites with sewer. A loop cons: very little shade would be rough in summer months. '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," explains Ryan S.

    Cabin amenity variations: Research before booking. Cabin facilities differ significantly between locations. "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," shares Shana D., providing important details about facility conditions.

    Access challenges: Some cabin areas require navigation. Petit Jean State Park cabins require careful travel planning. "Be aware of the weather, as if it's raining hard, parts of this road are subject to being the pathway for the water to cross as it flows down the mountainside. We had that experience, and it was a little tricky but quite exciting," warns Carole G.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly cabin options: Look for playgrounds nearby. Family cabin accommodations offer varying child amenities. "Kid friendly. Great upkeep and sites that are easily accessible. Playground, splash pad, and pool. We were not able to access the pool because of the time of year, but we will definitely be back in warmer weather," recommends Bridget C. about family cabins.

    Educational opportunities: Check ranger programs. Lake Ouachita State Park Campground cabins provide learning experiences. "The cabins are beyond wonderful to stay in and well worth the price. Beautiful scenery and tons of activities for the whole family to enjoy. The rangers were great and offered a variety of informational classes and hikes," shares Josh H.

    Cabin location considerations: Proximity matters. When booking cabins for families, consider distance to activities. "A paradise for everyone! The property is so peaceful and quiet. We came with little kids and they explored their hearts out. Along the river there's a trail and fun places for the kids to play and play. Next time I will choose site 286-288 to have the perfect access and view of this play spot," advises Lauren N.

    Tips from RVers

    RV cabin alternatives: Full hookup options. Larger rigs can access cabin areas with proper planning. "We stayed in A35 which is a triple A site with level site with all the trimmings! Wooded campsite with adequate shade, picnic table, fire pit and raised grilling station. It was very clean and well kept," notes Don L., highlighting premium site features.

    Cabin vs. RV considerations: Weather protection. Cabins offer advantages during extreme weather. "All of the sites are very spacious, concrete pads, well maintained hook ups, and most are full sun. This was our second visit and we will definitely be back," writes Jennifer H., noting the well-maintained infrastructure suitable for both RVs and cabin guests.

    Proximity benefits: Cabin access to facilities. Some cabin areas provide convenient access to RV services. "The park is immaculate and the grounds crew is really amazing, cleaning every site thoroughly before the next camper arrives. Trash pickup at your site every morning. Bathrooms and showers are very clean and at $1.50 per load the laundromat was one of the least expensive I've seen," explains Lori C., detailing practical amenities.
