ScoutNice place to Camp nice site and clean
ScoutI was a first time camper and didn’t know what to expect. I can say that it was very serene and relaxing. Areas are very clean kid friendly playgrounds. Each space was far enough but not but also in proximity to each other for those who afraid to camp out somewhere totally alone. Bathrooms are nice and easily accessible near campsites.
GuideTwo pull in spots with concrete picnic tables in the woods. Quiet, rural area.
TravelerWell maintained state park with a swimming beach, walking/biking trails, playgrounds. We used this as a stopping point for a longer journey and enjoyed the warm water in the showers and the lake views. Mosquitoes were a bit of a nuisance in the evening, but that is to be expected for the area.
GuideWe spent the night while driving north past Memphis. The staff was super helpful. Our site (and the whole campground) was covered in snow and in was cold. Other that that, we had a great experience.
4 stars because it is next to an interstate highway so there is inevitable noise and not much interesting in the way of scenery. Other than that, this is a 5 star place.
We will definitely stay here again.
GuideCamping area has concrete parking pads with electric and water hook ups. Bath house in the camping area includes showers and laundry. Very clean and well kept.
The park has: A concert walking/ running/ biking path with workout stations located along the path. Two baseball fields and a basketball ball court. A discussion golf course. Three play grounds for children.
Everything is well kept and clean.
GuideThis park is in the city of Pocahontas, Arkansas. It has 7 full service concrete parking pads. A very nice boat launch & plenty of parking for trucks with boat trailers. Park has a bath house, but it's very old and not too clean. Bath house needs to be replaced. Park also has a nice basketball court & playground. It has a very peaceful vibe.
TravelerSmall very tidy and spacious campground. Stayed in tent. Clean showers and restroom. $45 for tent site with electrical connection and water.
GuideReally enjoyed this trip on 4th of July weekend!! Stayed at site 43 which is close to the swim beach and the bathrooms are very close. They have a really nice visitor center too. Just make sure to have bug spray. Mosquitoes get bad at night and ticks were pretty active. Overall, it’s a great State Park!!!!
