The park's glamping campsites include picnic tables and fire rings at each site, with full hookups and water access suitable for extended stays, while the natural setting offers privacy among the trees. According to a visitor, "The sites were level. We did have several fire ant hills that we had to deal with and quite a few red wasps. We were able to watch numerous birds (pileated woodpeckers) and even saw a swamp rat swimming in the lake."
Merrisach Lake and Chemin-A-Haut State Park provide additional eco-friendly glamping campsites within driving distance of Lake Village. These locations feature water-based activities including kayaking, canoeing, and fishing directly accessible from glamping sites.

The parks maintain playgrounds, pavilions, and swimming facilities for family enjoyment. Seasonal considerations include potential mosquito activity during warmer months. One guest shared, "We visited Cane Creek over Memorial Day weekend. You can rent kayaks for very reasonable. Do it! The water trail is unlike any I have seen. Don't miss out on the hiking trails, but watch out for ticks!"
"Was ready to be away from people, quiet here during the time I came."
"Mosquitoes caused us to eat dinner inside our trailer, although it was otherwise nice enough to eat outside. The bathrooms were old, but mostly clean."

"Bathrooms are hands down the best I’ve ever seen. Campsites aren’t on top of each other but are pretty close. My tent wouldn’t fit on the tent pad but was able to find a level spot to set up anyways."
"Nice small fishing lake and swimming pool modern bath houses really nice cabins."
"It is not a breathtaking place, but it accurately portrays the nature of south Arkansas. I have seen ducks, deer armadillos and eagles live here as well. The playgrounds are good."
"We were able to watch numerous birds (pileated woodpeckers) and even saw a swamp rat swimming in the lake (resembles a beaver with a skinny tail)."
"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."
"It's a pretty spot by a lake. Clean restrooms with showers."

GuideQuiet small campground in Mississippi Delta. Pretty lake for fishing and easy 18 hole disc golf course. Sites are well spaced. Full hookups. We stayed in site 1. Pretty view of lake. Next to dump but all sites are full hookups ups so no one used it. But could have been an issue.
GuideWas ready to be away from people, quiet here during the time I came.
RangerBathrooms are hands down the best I’ve ever seen. Campsites aren’t on top of each other but are pretty close. My tent wouldn’t fit on the tent pad but was able to find a level spot to set up anyways. The lake was pretty busy with people fishing or paddling. Two room cabins looked pretty great and are on the water. Had two playgrounds and kids trail. Went to go to kayak out to Castle Tree and found out the water was too high to really see the base of it and it’s a two hr paddle upstream on the way there. So plan on calling ahead if you’re going to do that since the water can also be too low.
GuideMy family and I had a nice little getaway to Cane Creek State park. The sites are all asphalted and have electric and water. The dump station is on the way out of the park. The boat dock is really nice and the bait shop has minnows, worms, and crickets. Also, the bathrooms are located in the middle of the park and are clean. There are also a few concreted walking trails. The only bad part of the weekend was the bugs were really bad after dark so we had to go inside early. I would recommend this place to anyone and we will be back.
ScoutQuiet shady campsite. Not very full at all so it was peaceful. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Decent WIFI. Booster is close to site 14 and 15. If you like to be level in every direction, there are only about half of the sites that are easy to get that way. 4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14. All the rest slope a great deal. The ones on the inner loop slope from back to front. The ones on the outer loop slope front to back pretty dramatically. Inner loop sites are short. There were many campers unlevel it looked to me and jacks all the way out. I had the right side on 3 blocks to get it up to level.
If it rains its muddy in the site. They look to be clearing some trees as the area close to #12 where we camped had some leaning dead trees that were a bit concerning. Especially considering we had severe storms one night. Tree hit the bathroom building and also fell across the access road.
2nd picture hope you can tell how downhill the outside sites are after 14.
TravelerI stayed a few days during the week. It's a pretty spot by a lake. Clean restrooms with showers.
GuideLeroy Percy State Park is a small, but pretty state park with 16 full hookup campsites, 4 cabins and a nice disc golf course. Most of the campsites are shaded, at least for part of the day. Other than one other camper who appeared to have been there awhile, we were the only occupied campsite. Mosquitoes caused us to eat dinner inside our trailer, although it was otherwise nice enough to eat outside. The bathrooms were old, but mostly clean. The only exception being the handicapped men's shower which was a mess.
TravelerNice campsites, amazing staff, kids love it! Only downfall is during the fall/summer/spring when the mosquitoes take over the campsite.
GuideNice RV spots with full hookups. Cellular service isn’t great but they do have Wi-Fi. The RV camping area has a nice, new, and clean restroom and shower facility with coin-operated laundry.

Ancient cypress exploration: Chemin-A-Haut State Park offers rare access to thousand-year-old cypress trees via water trails.

Seasonal insect considerations: Multiple reviews mention significant insect activity during warmer months. Kathy E. describes a particularly challenging time at Cane Creek: "The bugs were so thick that you could not even go outside your camper without getting a mouth full, nose full, eyes full, and ears full of these bugs. It was like a plague!"

Water level fluctuations: Merrisach Lake and other water-based recreation areas experience significant seasonal water level changes that affect both boat launches and visibility of natural features. One reviewer at Chemin-A-Haut notes, "Water has been high for a few months so its ugly and not so useable."
