Best Campgrounds near LaGrange, AR

Camping around LaGrange, Arkansas centers on the Mississippi River State Park system, where several established campgrounds offer varied accommodation options. Bear Creek Lake Recreation Area and Mississippi River State Park Campground provide developed sites for tents, RVs, and some cabin camping, with full hookup capabilities at many locations. Beech Point Campground features waterfront sites with views of Bear Creek Lake, while Lone Pine Campground offers more primitive tent camping experiences. The region includes both established campgrounds with modern amenities and more rustic options for those seeking a more natural experience.

Road access varies throughout the area, with most developed campgrounds accessible via paved or maintained gravel roads. Full-service RV sites typically require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months. "The campground was very nice with footpaths to the nearby lake and little hoppin' toads everywhere. A little pricey for a primitive site in my opinion. No showers, but a stinky bathroom nearby," noted one visitor to Lone Pine Campground. Weather conditions remain relatively consistent year-round, though summer humidity can be significant. Most campgrounds operate year-round, but certain amenities like swimming beaches may close seasonally. Cell service can be limited in some areas, particularly at more remote sites.

Waterfront access represents the primary draw for most campers in the region. Several visitors highlight the scenic lake views available from nearly all sites at Beech Point Campground. According to one camper, "This was a huge campsite with lots of room for our two large tents. It was set back on its own point out into the lake, so our tents were surrounded on three sides by water." The camping areas provide excellent fishing opportunities, with boat rentals available at some locations. Wildlife viewing is frequently mentioned in reviews, with multiple campers reporting woodpecker sightings and abundant small amphibians. Tent campers particularly appreciate the designated tent pads at many sites, while RV campers benefit from level, spacious sites with full hookups. The park system maintains clean facilities, with several campgrounds featuring private bathroom suites rather than traditional communal facilities.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Quiet and Relaxing

    This place is very beautiful and DEEP into to woods. The sites are very spread out with privacy though and we loved that!

    We arrived after hours and our site had a pamphlet with our name and some basic information for our stay.

    In the morning, the spot was very beautiful and tucked away in the woods with visibility to the lake down the hill.

    It rained briefly and our spot was down a slight hill so there was a bit of concern with puddling, but there was proper drainage and the site didn’t puddle as much as we would’ve thought! The site was very leveled!

    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!

    When we left we stopped by the visitor center that had a pretty wide range of things to do with a gift store. The staff and rangers were very nice!

    We would visit again!

    Delta Ridge RV Park

    Perfect for a single overnight

    Small, tight campground that has no amenities at all, but is priced accordingly. This campground has full hookups at every site, the sites are tight enough together that opposing slides wouldn’t fit, there are no bathrooms, laundry facilities, etc. It is conveniently located very close to I40 and is minutes from shopping and restaurants.

    Added bonus……the WiFi is rock solid. I didn’t bother using my Starlink as I was able to stream from the campgrounds wifi.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Really nice, quiet CG

    We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 50 for 1 night in mid September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, as are the sites. The sites themselves all seemed pretty level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful and about half full while we were there. Our site, 50, was a pull-through, as were several, but most were back in. There is some shade depending on the site. The bathhouses are showing their age a bit. 

    AT&T coverage was basically nonexistent with 1 bar of 5GE service but 0 MB/s of throughput. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 13 MB/s.

    Good rest for weary travelers!

    Arrived after hours to Campsite area A (sites 1-41). Note: reservation app does was not allow same day reservations, so find "available" site and pay at kiosk at visitor center. Hard to see park at night but in the morning found clean restrooms and shower --a happy find. Park offers nice large sites for tent and RVs with power, water, picnic table & fire rings. Really nice campgrounds with golf and equestrian facilities near by.

    Mississippi River State Park Campground

    Beautiful and quiet

    This small campground is beautiful and kept very clean. Sites are full hookup. The bath house is very clean. There are four private toilet/shower rooms. All handicapped accessible. My favorite sites are 12, 13, and 14. My least favorite were 9, 10, and 11, but they are pull through sites.

    Total hookups close to I40

    Gary. Met me as I arrived in the park, guided me to my spot and even helped connect the water while I hooked up electric and waste. Stayed 2 nights , lucky that my Tmobile hotspot allowed me to work, stream, Zoom on my rest day.
