  Little Rock AFB FamCamp

  Utilitarian

  19th Airlift Wing is the host for the base and supports the largest C-130 fleet in the world.  The wing supplies humanitarian airlift relief to victims of disaster in both supplies and troops.  They also provide C-130 training to over 40 allied nations.

  The C-130's are the work horse of the Air Force and hero's in and of themselves.  The flight crews are amazing and will fly anywhere.  The C-130 is recognized all across Arkansas and a pleasure to watch lift off and touch down at the base.  Lumbering giants flying the skies over Arkansas they can be seen flying as far north as Mountain View in the Ozarks.

  Building began in 1953 and opened on 24 January 1955.  Landowners donated 6,100 acres worth over one million dollars. Back in the day the base was responsible for 18 Titan II Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles located throughout the state.  

  To me the jewel in the crown of the Little Rock Air Force Base is the C-130 you will find next to the entrance of the base alongside in the interstate.  The majestic C-130.  On A day in 1975 you would find this C-130 touched down in Saigon during the drawdown of the Viet Nam war/conflict. The payload, Humans.  Brave locals that were fleeing the Viet Cong.  The load on that last C-130 out of Saigon was more than the mighty C-130 could handle but with a fine flight crew at the helm it lifted off and numerous lives were saved.  I have flown on a C-130 and I feel honored to have done so.

  While in North Little Rock check out the "Old Mill".  Drive toward Little Rock and get off at the McCain exit, go right, pass through residential area and follow signs for the "Old Mill".  The Old Mill is located in a small beautiful park and during the spring is ablaze with color.  The Mill is a recreation of an 1880's water powered gristmill.  It is famous for its part in the opening scenes of "Gone With The Wind".  It was built in 1933 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.  One thing that is so fascinating is to see what was used to create toadstools, stumps and tree branches on the mill and in the park.

  The base has an outstanding golf course, equestrian trails to include boarding facilities, hunting, fishing, bowling, great gym facilities, ITW, library and more.  In Little Rock you will find the Clinton Presidential Library, Little Rock Zoo and so much more.

  The campground is very open, as you can see by the pictures, and can be considered an oasis for military personnel and retirees.  There are some sites that I would love to spend a month in but there are more sites that are good for a night or two. Some sites are very nicely shaded but others little to none. The sites are nicely spaced. Bath house with flush toilets and showers with a laundry. Doors have a key pad entry which is nice since the camp is open to base traffic. Lots of trails and entertainment watching the planes overhead. Pretty pond with a nicely shaded children’s play area. No WiFi. NOTE the main exit out of the base is closed (repair work on the road not sure how long it will be closed) so you have to leave the base following a detour. Ever time we went out there was a very long line but it moves fairly well.

  Happy camping and stay safe.

  Crystal Ridge RV Park at Ron Coleman Mine

  I’m all about value and experience and this place serves both.

  $12 a night, full hookup potential AND you are walking distance to the mine!!! For $20 you can go spend the day diggin through dirt and finding crystals. I don’t think everyone has the luck we had but we came after a rain and cleaned up. Hundred bucks in gems. Ok bathrooms and laundry... serves the purpose you’d expect from a $12 a night place. The REAL draw here is the mine and we had a blast! I do recommend. We took the spot up top the hill [upper left corner] and found crystals in our campsite around the fire pit :)))

  Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

  So much to do!

  This was our first time at Petit Jean and definitely won’t be the last! My 1st suggestion: RESERVE EARLY to get a spot in Loop A or Loop B. We stayed in Loop C and I felt a little too secluded. The sites in C & D appeared to be a little smaller. I noticed several sites in B & C were uneven from roots pushing the asphalt up. Beware! Loop A is full hookup while B-D have electricity & water only. We stayed on Site 64 in a pop up style camper. It was fairly level and there were a couple good places for tents. Everyone around us was tent camping. My main complaint was the bathroom. The showers are not very private other than a nasty mildewed shower curtain, but there is no where to dry off or dress that is private. The showers were nasty on the weekend that we went, but it was also a revolving door of a massive group of 30+ tent campers that was using the showers. They were a lot cleaner on Sunday thankfully. The park itself is absolutely breathtaking! We went to the Cedar Falls Overlook, Palisades Overlook and Stout Point Overlook. We also made the hike down to Cedar Falls. It was absolutely incredible, but you should be somewhat in decent shape for this hike as it was not easy! We also hiked Bear Cave. It was nice with lots of exploring around the cave. We ate dinner at Mather Lodge one night. I had the Catfish Platter and it was excellent. I’m already ready to plan another trip here during the summer so we can utilize the boat house and a few other amenities that are closed during the off season. Well worth a fall visit though!

  Lake Catherine State Park Campground

  Wonderful experience!

  Lake Catherine is a popular spot that’s on a first come first serve basis so arrive early. Most campsite have fire pits and grills. Nice space in between campsites.

  This campground is also home to some very intelligent raccoons who have adapted to campers being around. Be smart, they are not scared!! If you leave your food out they will get it.

  There is total shade over the swimming area after 2pm which makes for very enjoyable swimming.

  Hot Springs National Park KOA

  Pleasant

  Stayed 2 nights in a basic one room cabin. Had a double bed and bunk bed. Heat /air and cable tv. They advertise WiFi but we didn’t get good reception even though our cabin was very near the office/pool/bathroom. Clean and well kept. Porch swing, fire ring and water at the site. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Pool is small. Dog play area and kids playground. Good location for exploring hot springs area.

  Catherine's Landing

  Very Nice, Lots of Amenities

  Catherine’s Landing is a great RV park with lots of amenities and things happening. This park is an RVC Outdoor Destination property which is known for their “resort” amenities. The park is set on 400 acres with one mile bordering Lake Catherine and about eight or nine miles from downtown Hot Springs. 

  All roads, sites and patios are paved and this is definitely a big rig-friendly park. Every site has water, 50/30 amp, sewer, cable, and wifi. Fire pits and picnic tables accompany all sites. There are a variety of sites ranging from waterfront back-in, pull-thrus, or interior back-in. Waterfront sites have a nice view of the lake from the back of the site and access for fishing. The park also has yurts and cottages (some of which are pet-friendly). Adjacent to the yurts is a nice, large covered picnic area with grills, a dish washing station. 

  Lots and lots of amenities here. Hiking trails, swimming pool, fitness center, lounge, playground, dog park, zip-line, boat rental, boat launch, store, and disc golf. Some amenities (boat rentals and zip-line) are an extra charge. 

  Hot Springs is a nice little town nestled in the Ouachita Mountains with interesting history and natural beauty. We found plenty to do from hiking the National Park to learning about the bathhouse history to discovering the gangster influence. We spent four nights and could have stayed longer with all that the town offers. Most people come here to bathe in the soothing warm mineral waters but there is also a horse racetrack, science museum, off road track, water/theme park, alligator farm, and a few museums. Hot Springs National Park has miles and miles of great hiking trails and a great place to spend an afternoon. The town of Hot Springs is very dog-friendly and we found many places that would allow them in and on the patio for lunch.

  Pros:

  • Very nice, clean, well-manicured
  • Lots of amenities
  •  Paved level sites with paved patios 
  • The dog park was a decent size for running and mingling with other dogs
  • The hiking trail(about 3 miles) was a big plus and got used a lot. 

  Cons:

  • Price. We booked late and didn’t have too many sites to choose from we had to pay for a waterfront site
