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.

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.

Nice and quiet
We stopped to camp here on a Sunday night because it was convenient to where we were headed. It is off the beaten path so it was nice and quiet. There were only a few campers but although there is a beach that had families playing and swimming, it cleared out by 7PM. Our campsite was nice but the ground was hard and full of rocks, which made tent stakes useless, but our tent will function without them. The facilities were old and dated but they were clean and neat and the family who owns the campground were really nice and friendly. All in all, a good experience and a restful nights sleep for $30 a night.

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!!

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!

Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park
Arkansas's first state park
Well maintained state park especially for its age. All sites have a picnic table, ground grill, and tent pad. Roads and campsites are paved. Nicely spaced sites. Clean bathhouse.

Nicest people
We stayed in the tini cabin because it was 98* out, and we were sun burnt from digging crystals. It had an AC, shower, full bathroom, kitchen, TV, a charcoal grill with charcoal, and the camp host brought over fire wood with no charge.
Guide to Little Rock
Cabin accommodations near Little Rock offer diverse experiences from lakeside retreats to mountain getaways. The region sits where the Ouachita Mountains meet the Arkansas River Valley, creating varied terrain for cabin campers at elevations ranging from 300-1,200 feet. Cabins provide shelter from Arkansas's humid subtropical climate, which brings hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters when overnight temperatures can drop below freezing.
What to do
Hiking accessible trails: Lake Catherine State Park features the Falls Branch Trail leading to a waterfall. "We really enjoyed hiking the Falls Branch Trail with my nieces (8 and 10 years old). I would highly recommend this trail," notes Alison C. from Lake Catherine State Park Campground.
Fishing from cabin sites: Many lakefront cabins offer direct water access for fishing. "Indian Lakes Resort is the most beautiful well kept camping resort I have ever been to. The staff are all friendly and keep the grounds beautiful. There is something for everyone here," shares Janel P. from Indian Lakes Resort.
Boating and kayaking: Rent watercraft to explore the lakes near cabin properties. "It's a great lake for kayaking as the water was calm and there were only a couple of boats on the water," reports Alison C. about Lake Catherine State Park.
Stargazing from cabin porches: The rural setting of many cabin properties offers excellent night sky viewing away from city lights. Sites in more wooded areas provide natural shade during the day but may limit star visibility.
Winter activities: Many cabins remain open year-round, allowing for off-season visits with fewer crowds. Winter rates at most properties are significantly lower than summer pricing.
What campers like
Privacy between units: At Petit Jean State Park, cabin sites offer more seclusion than typical campgrounds. "It's laid out ideally, full hook up sites with sewer, and plenty of gravel and concrete to keep from dealing with too much dirt, mud, sand," explains Ryan S. from Petit Jean State Park.
Clean facilities: Catherine's Landing maintains excellent bathrooms. "Bathrooms and showers are very clean and at $1.50 per load the laundromat was one of the least expensive I've seen (and the dryers were great!)" reports Lori C. from Catherine's Landing.
Natural settings: Cabin sites often feature natural surroundings. "The park is set on 400 acres with one mile bordering Lake Catherine and about eight or nine miles from downtown Hot Springs," notes Nancy W. about Catherine's Landing.
Swimming options: Many cabin locations include swimming access. "Pool was well used by our kids. There is also a nice zip line course on the campground," shares Charles S. about Catherine's Landing.
Digital connectivity: Despite natural settings, many cabin sites maintain connectivity. "Wifi was good during the week and we were able to stream movies, except on the busy weekend evening when it bogged down," says Lori C. about Catherine's Landing.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Summer brings higher occupancy and prices. "This SP will fill up quickly in the spring and fall, reservations are recommend," advises Chad K. about Lake Ouachita State Park.
Cabin sizes vary significantly: Smaller units accommodate couples while larger options sleep families. "We stayed in a basic one room cabin. Had a double bed and bunk bed. Heat/air and cable tv," reports Rachael H. from Hot Springs National Park KOA.
Terrain challenges: Some cabin sites require preparation for uneven terrain. "Many sites were on an incline, so there was a lot of terracing w great use of railroad timbers and crushed rock," notes Amanda H. about Lake Ouachita State Park.
Booking windows: For popular locations, advance planning is essential. "It's really hard to get a reservation if you don't book at least a year out in A loop," warns Ryan S. about Petit Jean State Park.
Supply availability: Many cabin sites are distant from major shopping. "Make sure you come in with all of your supplies otherwise you will be driving back out a ways for groceries, supplies, etc," cautions Roxy V. about Hot Springs National Park KOA.
Tips for camping with families
Unique accommodations: Consider specialty options for memorable stays. "A paradise for everyone! The property is so peaceful and quiet. We came with little kids and they explored their hearts out," shares Lauren N. about Catherine's Landing.
Kid-friendly amenities: Look for locations with facilities designed for children. "Kid friendly. Great upkeep and sites that are easily accessible. Playground, splash pad, and pool," notes Bridget C. about Hot Springs National Park KOA.
Safety considerations: Some cabin sites offer better security features than others. "Good safe place to stop for night, far enough away from highway to be peaceful but not so far that you are going out of your way," comments Daniel about Little Rock North KOA.
Nature programming: Several parks offer educational activities. "The rangers were great and offered a variety of informational classes and hikes," mentions Josh H. about Lake Ouachita State Park.
Cabin spacing: Family groups may prefer sites with more room between units. "The campsite was a great size and well spaced out from our neighbors. There were trees to hang our hammocks," reports Alison C. about Lake Catherine State Park.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Prepare for varied terrain at cabin sites. "Sites are poor, at best. Concrete is broken and gravel is used to fix problem. Gravel was new and not packed...almost got my rig stuck," warns James M. about Trails End RV Park.
Hookup locations: Some cabin areas have unusual utility placements. "Some sites have water and the picnic table on the opposite sides of the camper. It's purely inconvenient and I'm not sure why this is this way," notes Ryan S. about Petit Jean State Park.
Access considerations: Not all cabin areas accommodate larger vehicles. "We have a cyclone 4270 (44' triple axel 5th wheel) which is pushing it for most KOA's. We landed a pull through just behind the office and on way out of curve in road so we slide right in," shares Daniel about Little Rock North KOA.
Site selection tips: Research specific site characteristics before booking. "We had site 204 which is a back in site with FHU on driver's side. We loved this site because it was on the back side of the campground, near the dog park and lots of open space behind us," recommends Jennifer H. about Catherine's Landing.
