131 Reviews

Camping options near McNeil, Arkansas range from developed campgrounds to dispersed sites within approximately 30 miles. Logoly State Park Campground offers tent camping in a heavily wooded setting with drinking water and showers, while Magnolia RV Park LLC provides full hookups for RVs with electric, water, sewer, and sanitary dump services. The region also includes Lake Columbia RV Park, which features waterfront camping with both tent and RV accommodation options, and the more remote Bois D'Arce Lake Peninsula for dispersed camping.

Many campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, with moderate temperatures allowing for comfortable camping in multiple seasons. "White Oak Lake is packed with well-maintained sites to camp at various levels of comfort. Tent sites provide opportunities to rough it while RV sites allow comfort at the edge of a great deep-wood experience," noted one visitor about White Oak Lake State Park, located approximately 30 miles from McNeil. Most developed campgrounds feature drinking water and toilet facilities, while dispersed sites generally require self-sufficiency. Cell service can be spotty in more remote areas, particularly around lake peninsulas and wooded camping areas.

Several campgrounds with waterfront settings receive consistently positive reviews from campers seeking fishing opportunities and lake views. Bois D'Arce Lake Peninsula offers free dispersed camping with direct lake access, described by one camper as "easy to get to and great spots on the lake." The surrounding terrain is mostly flat with some wooded areas, making most camping locations accessible without specialized vehicles. White Oak Lake State Park Campground receives high ratings for its quiet atmosphere and well-maintained facilities, with visitors noting its excellent fishing opportunities and hiking trails. Campground density varies significantly throughout the region, with some locations offering more privacy than others, particularly during off-peak seasons when fewer sites are occupied.

    Crow Lake Primitive Sites

    No annoying insects, just a place to park

    This is just the one campsite, but it's quite large and there's a turnaround which could be used for a second campsite if you have a vehicle that can handle it. The one at the top of the slope is better for larger vehicles though.

    I'm not sure if my bus would easily be able to handle going down that slope, but someone drove around it very easily in a Jeep with no trailer.

    When you enter the area, you'll see a split in the road. Take the right side and that's where this USACE campground is at.

    Ivan Lake Recreation Area

    Permit required, and check in and out.

    The first thing I saw was the board. I usually check that just to make sure I know what's going on and it says you need a permit in order to stay here and you also need to check in and out every single time you leave the campground which is just stupid. There's no reason for this aside from they just want to track you.

    Beard's Bluff Park

    Peaceful, Easy and suitable for kids!

    We got here by chance, not knowing we would stop here for the night and just fell in love with the beauty of the trees and lake! 

    Easy connection for electric and water and very close by (2 min drive) is a place to dump. 

    There is a sweet park for little kids to play which is great!

    Camp site does cost money and some are pricier than others (hence 4 stars) but overall loved it here.

    Moro Bay State Park Campground

    Perfect Overnight

    I needed a place to come in late that was safe and quiet. This spot is perfect. Expensive but worth it for the cleanliness and safety.

    Moro Bay State Park Campground

    Great little place

    Quiet if you get a stop in the back area. Drove the other side and was close to highway so not sure on noise. Have a spot to rent boats and bikes and a few nice trails. Spot we had was perfectly level.

    Beard's Bluff Park

    Nice smaller campground on large lake

    Campground has well spaced sites. All with some lake view or on the lake. Many sites are pull thru. Concrete pads with very nice picnic table, fire pit, and separate grill. Some have shelters/roofs over the picnic table. Bathouse available with showers. Only downside is it is close to a moderately used road.

    Corney Lake South Shore Campground

    Wooded, Lake Views

    Old campground along pretty lake in a national forest. Clean; the grounds are well maintained. The campground is confusing. Campsites are not marked. Looks like it was initially developed as a tent campground. There are shared vehicle parking pads; sites are not actually next to these - need to walkin a little. RV campers can probably park on the parking pads and walk to nearby picnic tables. Some sites have metal fire rings and lantern poles near picnic tables. Otherwise, it appears that previous campers had open campfires. Hammock camping is possible in a few areas. Clean his/hers vault toilet with tp and hand sanitizer. Water pumps scattered throughout campground; water was turned on duirng my stay. Sites in the middle of the campground are level; others slope down a little toward the lake. Sites are grass surfaces. No tent pads. No RV driveways to individual sites. Quiet, peaceful. No fee. Day Use area with fishing pier nearby. Partial shade; solar charging and Starlink access may be a challenge. Sporadic AT&T and T-Mobile service. Overall, this is a nice campground. I was the only camper during the nights I camped hare. A local resident stopped by to check up on me.
