Camping options in the North Little Rock, Arkansas area range from urban riverside sites to more remote wooded settings. Downtown Riverside RV Park provides full hookups directly on the Arkansas River with easy access to the Clinton Presidential Library via a pedestrian bridge. Little Rock North KOA offers tent, RV, cabin and glamping accommodations just north of the city, while Camp Robinson Dispersed Site provides primitive free camping for those seeking a more rustic experience. Burns Park campground, though temporarily closed due to tornado damage, has historically been a popular option within city limits.
Most campgrounds in the region are open year-round with Arkansas's relatively mild climate making camping accessible in all seasons. Concrete pads are common at the more developed sites, providing level surfaces for recreational vehicles. "Great location, walkable to downtown. Good WiFi, great reception," reported one visitor about Downtown Riverside RV Park, highlighting the urban convenience many sites offer. Some facilities maintain gated access for security, particularly those in urban settings. Reservations are recommended for most developed campgrounds, especially during spring and fall when weather conditions are most favorable. While some dispersed camping is available, it generally offers minimal amenities and may require visitors to be fully self-contained.
Several visitors emphasize the riverfront views and access as key highlights of camping in this region. The Arkansas River serves as a focal point for many campgrounds, offering scenic views particularly at night when the downtown lights reflect on the water. Campers note the convenience of being able to walk to downtown attractions from Riverside RV Park. One reviewer described it as "a great central location for visiting attractions on both sides of the river by car, bike or on foot." Urban camping predominates in the immediate North Little Rock area, with more natural settings available as you travel farther from the city center. While most developed campgrounds provide full hookups for RVs, tent campers have fewer options directly in the city but can find accommodations at facilities like the KOA or by venturing to more distant state parks and public lands.

GuideHere 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.

Absolutely would recommend & stay again if Hots Springs NP was ever worth going to twice! (The Sign when you drive in will say NO SHOWER FACILITIES, it is a trick to prevent Gen Pop from trying to sneak a shower & slurp up the greatest temperature controlled bathroom on the planet)
GuideSecond time staying there. Even better than the first time. The dog park is fabulous, enough room for 2 German Shepherds to run. We were able to pick blackberries, walking trails are so well maintained.
TravelerA quiet, beautiful campground with lots of riverside spots. Bathrooms and showers are just fine but be aware that the F loop is a bit of a hike to the nearest one.
ScoutWe had a lot of fun are teenage yrs going to cox creek it got the board walk fishing deck cabins trails adventure some much fun stores are close by
GuideThis was our second time at this campground. The sites are very large and spacious. Trees for shade. It has a nice playground and also a boat ramp. The bathrooms are ok, but what I really like about them, is you get the complete room. Shower, sink, toilet. Not a little hot stall. Water on both sides of the campground for fishing. And the water hyacinths are beautiful!!
