Best Campgrounds near McRae, AR

Dirt roads no electric nice little quiet excluded spot but it's be tough for an RV to get around there

It had rained and the road in was near a foot deep flowing water. Not a problem on our motorcycle but a car may have issues with water coming in. This was a, nice Campground BUT it does require a hunting/fishing permit and we were given a written warning. Apparently this is true of all Arkansas public property despite app saying otherwise.

Got in after dark and area was easily navigatable. Multiple large open camping areas. The one I stayed in had slight traffic noise from the highway, but wasn't an issue as I was van camping.

This seems like not would be great for group camping but I had the whole section to myself. Doesn't seem like this area is overwhelmed with campers. You're likely to find a good spot with some privacy.

I'm slightly paranoid about camping under trees. Was challenging to find a spot in the open.

No services.

This privately on campground has tons of history in the bluegrass and country music areas, many famous visitors campground in the past and present.

This couple who used to bring their kids here when they were younger now at retirement age decided to purchase the campground after it had become rundown, and the owners had passed away. They have rehab that amazingly and are still I’m sure a work in progress because they’re always working on new plans, but enjoying the present as well. They have festivals, And all sorts of activities. A true family owned very good vibes kindred spirit campground. I stayed there in 2022 and was blown away at how much progress they had made in just two years in 2024. They seemed like they were certainly not close to done yet, but always enjoying the present as well. This campground is outside of Conway, Arkansas about 15 or 20 minutes in Otto,AR, more easily found under Vallonia. When you pull up Leicester Flats Road windy as it is, you are rewarded by an outdoor chapel overlooking the lake and then when you come over the hill, you can see the full lake in the beginning of the campground area. The views are amazing, and the vibes are very good. I cannot recommend this campground enough. I saw they have lots of fun things on the lake for kids and it seemed from the office a full flyer worth of scheduled activities.

Hands down my favorite site. Will forever love the peace & tranquility here. Just a reminder to please leave the site now you’d hope it would be left for you. The most beautiful spot on the Arkansas river

Simple and spread out. There are some big spots. Most have a fire ring.

Small very tidy and spacious campground. Stayed in tent. Clean showers and restroom. $45 for tent site with electrical connection and water.

The site itself isn't bad. It is very well shaded with 8-10 concrete pads. There are a few concrete benches and a water spigot. There is a huge parking lot next to it for trucks with boats/trailers to park.

This site is normally used for hunting and fishing. There is a shooting range on the road before you get to the site.

I'm here I October and there are still quite a few mosquitoes. I imagine in the warmer months they would be unbearable. Also the cell signal is pretty spotty.

Overall, nice for a free spot but not the greatest.

Thank goodness there is a slight breeze. 90 degrees. Summer swampy area. Picked up a med bag of trash; cans, bottles, and paper. Looks better now. I definitely put on bug spray right away. Nice place to sleep and get back on 40East in the morning. Doing a cross country from San Francisco to Pennsylvania.

Not much too it. Basically just two relatively small parking lots in the woods, past some houses off the highway. Would only be good for a super quick over night.

Camp Conway is quiet with excellent bird-watching. Must have seen 12 bird varieties thriving in the park. Convenient to Conway and even Little Rock. Camp ground is friendly to monthly guests as well as nightly.
