    Great place to stay as you transit the Memphis area

    We 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.

    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.

    Beautiful park & fishing

    This 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.

    4th of July Trip

    Really 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!!!!

    Quiet place to relax.

    Wife and I camp here 2 or 3 times a year. We have a popup camper, so we have camped on tent and rv sites. Rangers are top-notch and friendly. Bath houses are clean. They have installed a small playground for smaller children. We camp during the week between holidays, so not many campers there. Very quiet and relaxing. Around October, stink bugs are a big nuisance. The sites are kinda close together. But this is a very nice campground.

    Decent park, poor campground

    Some of the park is beautiful and well-kept. The campground, however, is not. While we appreciated the ample shade during our hot July stay, the sites are quite short and were not mowed when we arrived or any time during our four night stay. The last day we were there, part of the campground was finally being mowed, but they stopped before reaching the two loops off of the main one. One site next to ours had a water leak and large puddle. If you have Verizon, there is zero service for miles, making it difficult to research directions or activities. It might be a nice respite for locals, but it does not make for a good base to use when traveling. The dump station has a fixed nozzle and no threaded connection to utilize for flushing or rinsing your tank. It can only be used to rinse the sewer hose.

    A relaxing weekend

    Over all it was great. Very quite. There is pretty much no cell service heading up or at the camp. They do offer WiFi. My biggest concern would me that camp site 26 is a little to close for my liking. But if you have like two families that want go together then 26&27 would be a great choice.

    Great little campground near Paragould

    This campground was perfect for our little family reunion near Paragould. We booked three sites together and they were close enough that it was easy to visit each other. It was also a very nice little campground with lots of shade and the bathrooms were very clean and had showers. We also enjoyed the little lake and playground for the kids. The only downside were the mosquitoes, but one of us had a screened canopy that went over the picnic table, which worked great. We were very impressed with the staff and the campground and will likely return.

    Nice State Park & Campground

    Camped here during Thanksgiving 2023. Camped in our campervan in Loop A of the camnpground. Backed into site 35; not quite level, but okay. It looks like the sites inside of the loop are more level. The park is in a wooded area, although no privacy between sites. Sites were clean and very well maintained. Table, fire ring & grill included. Water & 30amp electric hookups. Restroom/showers very clean. The park and lake are beautiful. Enjoyed fishing at the fishing pier which was a short walk on a paved path from the campsite.

    Loved it here!

    Just so beautiful. Trails were well marked but not for faint of heart. Campsites were pretty close together and bathrooms not too great. Little black bugs swarmed on warm nights right a dusk for an hour. There’s an airport nearby and planes were constantly flying over one of the nights. We were the only tent there. Tent pads aren’t clearly marked but plenty of level ground to set up. Lake was gorgeous too, I was literally the only one out there.

    No heads up about having no power

    They knew they had no power and didn’t give us a heads up before showing up. We paid for FHU which means full hook up. No refund and no options to help us. They just told us to deal with it.

    Beautiful Park - Friendly Staff

     I called ahead and arrived after hours. It was as easy as it gets. They said to just pick an open site and register in the am. I had a lake front site, with a nice fire pit and picnic table and grill setup. 

     The next morning I registered / paid $44.00 for the night. Super friendly staff. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Huge park

    Lots of spaces, tons of trails, nice and flexible staff and very affordable. I was clear I had to have connectivity to stay and they let me come out and pick my spot before staying and gave me my.best options.

    I'm up in the horse campground which is fine and. The only camper here. The bathroom is warm, water hot and all clean so frankly, with 33 miles of trails, we are staying and working for the week. I had to reply my starlink to get online and it took a few tries to find a workable direction but I did and plugged in to the bathroom which they said was fine. Spent Sunday exploring this huge place.

    Nice place to stay

    Beautiful relaxing place. I’m a fan of dispersed camping yet this was still private even for a campground. Nice bathhouses with laundry. Individual campsite trash cans. They provided free wood! Nice flat paved sites with water and electric for only $25

    Good Camp ground 20 minutes from Memphis

    First time at a KOA, and it was a good experience. Our stay was for 3 nights. Easy check-in and staff were very helpful. They also have a cafe that serves breakfast from Thursday - to Sunday ( due to staffing shortage). Enjoyed Beale Street and of course, toured Elvis's house and complex.

    Sites were close together, our pad was part concrete and part gravel, but we were able to level our 5th wheel just fine.

    Nice quiet place and friendly

    Beautiful place to camp. Everyone running the park was super nice and accommodating. The only drawback that I can think of was the mosquitos. Shower house/bathroom cleaned and well maintained.

    Very Nice

    It's a small camping area but very nice! There's a lake that allows canoeing, walking trail with exercise equipment. huge playground, huge parking areas with pavilions, bathrooms with hot water, water fountains throughput. They have a movie theater type to teach you about the land & heritage with mist that sprays on you to give live effects. $25.per night whether RV, Pull along, or tent camping. Bath house with toilets, showers, hot water. All camping spots have water, electric, sewage, and personal trash cans. Cons- were one area to camp The tenants were very stand off-ish and a bit rude. The folks caring for the property were nice at first then became judgemental, had the law constantly come through plus the park rangers/co-workers would sit and watch our every move, and be very nosey. I felt safe but also felt luke I was walking on eggshells the whole time. Tent camping here is not recommended but acceptable. We were visiting from out of state to get away from a hurricane in our home state and our visit was quite disappointing to say the least as far as what I've mentioned but enjoyed the park.

    What a Gem!!

    We LOVED our stay here. Playgrounds and a splash pad our kids loved. Norm, the site host, was SO helpful. We were having battery issues and he helped us diagnose and fix it.

    Perfect for a weekend hideout ♥️

    We live close and love being able to break away and isolate ourselves from the world. There is no cell reception really at campsites and that just makes it better. Quiet and clean spot for a weekend away.

    Amazing

    From the moment we arrived, we had an amazing experience. The staff greeted us and our pups with smiles, cozies, and treats for the dogs. The site is well taken care of. The laundry and camper kitchen were great amenities. The pool was clean and a great way to cool off. They have a Cafe that serves breakfast and dinner. Dinner is delivered to your site. We will definitely be staying here again.

    Very nice, small campground

    This a very small campsite, only 20 sites I believe, but he sites are quite large and level. About half the sites back up to the White River. 

    The campsite is somewhat off the beaten path, and there isn't necessarily a ton to do in the area, but if you're looking for quiet, and low-key stop, this is the place. 

    The grounds are very well maintained, about half the sites back up to the White River, and there is a very nice beach/swimming area as well as a boat launch. Added bonus, the bathrooms were incredibly clean!

    The visitor's center is a must see. Lots of great exhibits detailing the history of the area.

    Newport is about 15 minutes away and provides a variety of shopping and dining options. If you find yourself over that way I highly recommend stopping at Blue Bridge Brews and Bakery (tons of great coffee and pastry options).
