      Little Rock AFB FamCamp

      Not a bad little RV park, bathrooms were close and there were plenty of spots available. We got a back in spot at the front of the campground, but there were quite a few pull through as well. The entrance area parking lot was huge. So there was plenty of room to disconnect our TOAD before backing in.

      Little Rock North KOA

      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.

      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!!

      Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

      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!

      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.

      Crystal Ridge RV Park at Ron Coleman Mine

      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.

      Hot Springs National Park KOA

      Great KOA, Friendly Staff

      Here for an overnight and it was a great night at this KOA. Pool, trails, lake were fantastic. In a camper B RV so no issues navigating to the camp using the Google Maps way. If you are in a big rig RV, it’ll be tight.

    Guide to Morrilton

    Morrilton, Arkansas sits at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains with an elevation of approximately 380 feet above sea level. The area experiences all four seasons with hot, humid summers where temperatures average 90°F and mild winters with occasional freezing temperatures. During spring and fall camping seasons, nighttime temperatures often drop 20-30 degrees below daytime highs, requiring campers to pack accordingly.

    What to do

    Hiking trails for all skill levels: At Lake Ouachita State Park, trails accommodate various experience levels with scenic lake views. "We hiked down to Cedar Falls. It was absolutely incredible, but you should be somewhat in decent shape for this hike as it was not easy," notes Shana D., who recommends proper preparation for the moderate terrain.

    Wildlife observation: The forests around Mount Nebo State Park offer excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. According to Jackie F., "We were able to listen to a Barred Owl before going to sleep," while other campers report frequent deer sightings throughout the camping areas.

    Fishing opportunities: Stephens Park Campground provides bank fishing access without needing a boat. "The river is beautiful with clear, cold water. There is a day use area with access to be able to fish from the bank," reports Shana D., highlighting the accessibility for casual anglers.

    What campers like

    Cooler mountain temperatures: Mount Nebo State Park sits at 1,800 feet elevation, providing relief from summer heat. Dave V. notes, "Being on an 1800 ft elevation summit, surrounded by valley...its quiet and enjoys a constant breeze," making this a preferred option during hot Arkansas summers.

    Water activities: Cove Lake Complex offers multiple water recreation options. "Boat rentals right onsite, concessions, even a small beach area!" writes Taryn S., adding that the facilities are "extremely spacious and well spaced from each other," providing both privacy and lakeside convenience.

    Crystal hunting: A unique activity near Morrilton is digging for crystals at Crystal Ridge RV Park. Trevor B. explains, "If you travel to the area to specifically go mining for crystals then it is definitely a win because the crystal mines are only a rock throw away from the park." Some campers even find crystals within their campsite.

    What you should know

    Road access limitations: Some campgrounds have restricted access for larger vehicles. At Mount Nebo, signs warn "Crooked and Steep, no trailers over 24 ft," with Dave V. confirming, "I have driven up a lot of steep and twisty mountain roads, and these warnings are to be heeded. Grades are up to 18%."

    Reservation requirements: Popular sites fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. "Book your trip!" advises Ryan S. about Petit Jean State Park, noting that A Loop "stays booked 93% of the year according to the Park Office. It's really hard to get a reservation if you don't book at least a year out."

    Seasonal conditions: Spring offers optimal glamping close to Morrilton, Arkansas. Andrew S. recommends, "If in Arkansas, Petit Jean State Park is a must. Go Spring or Fall for the view," when wildflowers bloom and temperatures remain moderate.

    Tips for camping with families

    Loop selection matters: At Petit Jean State Park, different camping areas offer varying experiences. "RESERVE EARLY to get a spot in Loop A or Loop B. We stayed in Loop C and I felt a little too secluded," advises Shana D., who found the more central loops better suited for families.

    Educational opportunities: Cove Lake Complex offers learning experiences alongside recreation. "Great place to camp, been coming here my entire life... Boating, fishing, swimming, cabins available, lots of trails to hike," James N. notes, with many families appreciating the mix of activities.

    Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer specific facilities for children. Hot Springs National Park KOA features "a dog play area and kids playground," according to Rachael H., making it suitable for families with both children and pets.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling considerations: Many Arkansas campgrounds require equipment for leveling. Fred S. notes at Petit Jean State Park, "Not all sites are level. Areas A and B can accommodate large rigs and towables," while recommending specific loops for different RV sizes.

    Full hookup availability: Little Rock North KOA offers complete services for overnight travelers. Amy H. describes "Nice level, cement, pull through spots," making it convenient for RVers looking for glamping options near Morrilton without the full rustic experience.

    Loop-specific RV recommendations: At Petit Jean State Park, Ryan S. details: "A Loop pros: it's new, 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," though he cautions "very little shade. would be rough in summer months without shade tents, awnings, etc."
