    Crater of Diamonds State Park Campground

    5star campground 4star site

    I’ve reviewed the campground before, for other sites. Most are level and plenty of room/parking length. This site 30 is cramped and has a passenger side tilt to it. I have a 26’ (tip to tail) TT and a crew cab pickup… they will not fit in the campsite end to end, much less with some room to get in to the tailgate. Once unhooked, I had to angle the truck in to overlap the tongue of the TT. Ended up with a 3 inch riser to level the trailer side to side, which puts the first step about 17 inches up. To add to it, there is no level surface much further than the step before the site slopes off steeply with pine needles. The site just seems like the Park wanted to jam another spot in to make 45$ extra a night on busy times. I would not recommend site 30, to anyone. Tent campers would be even worse off, as the tent pad area is back closer to the road.

    Daisy State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Campground

    Very large state campground right on the lake. Clean bathrooms with showers. Would be fantastic for families.

    Big Fir Primitive Camping

    Super beautiful but packed

    We were excited to finally find a free camp area for our RV and drove into the wild for this one but when we arrived there were lots of people camping out with little space or privacy. Guess it depends on the season. But super beautiful forest and lake!!

    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.

    Clear Spring

    Rude guard at gate

    They made it kind of difficult to even get in the park you have to do everything online these days bathrooms were dirty in the coming and going it was kind of crazy didn't feel too safe how are doing work all the time and they charge too much even if you're just there for the day I thought that was kind of unfair

    Texarkana RV Park & Event Center

    Not impressed

    Made reservations for a back in site. Upon check in, nobody was in the office. Called the number on the door and was directed to park in the pull-through immediately at the entrance. Gate is broken and doesn’t close, nobody at the check in, RIGHT off the highway. Didn’t feel safe. Very loud. Playground area was very old and not maintained. “Dog park” was a 6ft x 6ft chain link square. Lots of permanent lots that are kind of gross. There is a new Love’s hookup & Sunrise RV parks nearby— will be using those in the future! Will not be back.
