Best RV Parks & Resorts near Plainview, AR

RV parks near Plainview offer full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. Adventure RV provides 35 sites with 50/30-amp electric service, positioned within easy access to area lakes and highways. At Ivy's Cove RV Retreat in Russellville, sites feature level, well-packed aggregate surfaces suitable for larger recreational vehicles. "Nice level pull-through lots. Hot showers, laundry, small play area. Very quiet except for the birds that wake you in the morning. Close to town but feels like the country," noted one camper at Ivy's Cove. Crystal Ridge RV Park accommodates big rigs with 50-amp hookups and provides fire rings at most sites, while The Weekender Cabins & RV Retreat maintains 23 designated RV spots with both 30 and 50-amp service options.

Throughout the Ouachita Mountain region, advance reservations become essential during peak fall foliage and summer lake seasons. Many parks require prepayment and have specific cancellation policies. Cell service varies significantly by carrier, with visitors reporting strong Verizon coverage but spotty T-Mobile reception in some locations. Most RV parks in the area remain open year-round, though amenities like swimming pools typically close during winter months. Pet-friendly policies are common but may include breed restrictions or designated pet areas. Several parks provide on-site sanitary dump stations, though some older facilities may lack this convenience, requiring travel to nearby stations. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, leveling equipment is recommended for parks with gravel sites, as many visitors noted needing blocks or levelers for comfortable setup.

    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

    Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

    Fantastic State Park

    Camped here on May 1, 2025. This is one of my favorite state parks in the USA. Lots to do here. Fantastic hiking trails - rated from easy to difficult. Since I live only 45 minutes from this park, I normally come here for the day for hiking. This time, I got around to trying out the park's campground. This popular campround is divided into 4 areas - A through D. There are a total of 125 campsites, including 26 pull-through sites. Thirty-five of the sites are Class AAA sites which have 50 amp electrical, water, and sewer hookups. There are 90 Class B sites offering 30 amp electrical and water hookups. All sites are reservable. Tent and hammock camping is possible depending on the sites. I camped at site 103 in Area D. The staff at the office helped me pick this site for my campervan. The site had water and 30amp service. The restroom/shower house was clean and well maintained. The campsite itself was dated but clean. The site was large and had trees around it offering a little bit of privacy. The pull-thru drieway was close to the campground road. The site included a picnic table, tent pad, lantern pole, metal fire ring, and grill. Solar charging and Starlink connectivity may not be possible at this site; Area C has an open sky above it. There was some road noise from vehicles driving on Petit Jean Mountain Road which is behind the site. Received good AT&T 5G cell service, but little to no T-Mobile 2G service.  Areas C and D are in the woods. Most of the sites in these areas are on the small size but should easily accomodate a truck camper and smaller. Not all sites are level. Areas A and B can accomodate large rigs and towables.

    Leisure Landing RV Park

    Don't Bother

    Gravel parking lot with painted stripes, a patch of grass growing under the picnic table, and full hookups. Be sure to back in centered, others are complaining about hitting their slide outs. Watch your step. One of the long-term residents isn't picking up their dog waste. The nicest spot in the whole place is the little fenced-in dog spot overlooking the canal that makes its way out to the lake you can't see from here.

    Gulpha Gorge Campground — Hot Springs National Park

    Beautiful, clean, great location

    Beautiful, clean, great location. Camped here in Feb 2020, right on the river. Full hookups, mostly back-in but some pull throughs. Paved, level. Tent sites, too. Clean bathrooms, little camp store. Close to town. Would camp again.

    Hot Springs National Park KOA

    Clean with a dog park

    D26 Back-in full hook-ups, fire ring & picnic table. 2 nights - Memorial Day weekend. Good spot, close to bath rooms/shower house/cafe. Pretty level - just 1 leveling block was all we needed for our pop-up. Lots of amenities- cafe, fishing pond, small general store, playground and off leash dog area. Staff was very friendly. Escorted you to your spot and helped us back in. Shower house was always clean. Loved the dog park! We are just starting to travel with our 2 boxers and was so nice to have an area for them to run a bit. Cons - spots are very close, no privacy. Each spot has a very bright “porch” light that is on until Midnight

    Hot Springs Arkansas Finish Line RV Park Walk to Oaklawn and Bathhouse Row

    Nice little park

    This is a nice little gated park. Close to the national park in Hot Springs Arkansas. And right next door to the flat track/casino. It’s pretty new, but not really any extra amenities. 20/30/50 amp full hookups. Concrete pads, and paved streets. Laundry and bath house. Inexpensive. We’d definitely stay here again!

    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.

    Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

    Beautiful Park with great hiking trails

    Beautiful park with lots of space between spots and large green belt areas to enjoy. The hiking trails were fun and challenging with not many people and we hiked with our dogs. We stayed in a pull through site in Loop A, Spot 29 with full hookups. It had plenty of room for trailer and truck parking and was pretty level. There was no wifi or cell service for T-Mobile. We rode our bikes to the Visitor Center to access wifi and were able to get cell service at the Mather Lodge overlook. There is a really nice walking / bike trail from the campgrounds to the Mather Lodge. The park is well maintained with clean bathrooms and showers. Trash bins were located throughout the camping area. We will visit here again.


Guide to Plainview

RV parks near Plainview, Arkansas sit in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains where elevations range from 300 to 2,700 feet. The region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures often exceeding 90°F, while winters remain relatively mild with occasional snow. Campsites in this area frequently require advance booking during peak fall color seasons when the hardwood forests transition to vibrant reds and oranges.

What to do

Crystal mining adventures: At Crystal Ridge RV Park, visitors can spend a day digging for quartz crystals at the adjacent Ron Coleman 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," reports Justin M.

Wine tasting tours: Several RV parks sit near Arkansas wine country, with Grape Country RV Park positioned directly among vineyards. "Settled right in between grape fields, beautiful manacured grounds with lots of picnic tables and plenty of area to walk dogs or kids. Great wines right up the road," notes Jessica P.

Riverside activities: Caddo River Access provides direct river entry for water recreation. "The float is also so much fun and accessible for all ages! There's so much to see and the water actually moves instead of you having to paddle the whole way," says Jessica D.

What campers like

Peaceful waterfront settings: Adventure RV offers multiple fishing options on Lake Dardanelle. "Peaceful and quite. Not only is it right on the lake with multiple fishing docks plus a boat ramp, but there is a private fishing pond in the middle of the park as well," writes Bradley B.

Affordable crystal hunting: Budget-conscious travelers appreciate the value at Crystal Ridge. "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!!! We took the spot up top the hill [upper left corner] and found crystals in our campsite around the fire pit," says Justin M.

Convenient access to attractions: Finish Line RV Park provides quick access to Hot Springs. "Everything is awesome. Sites are in pristine condition. Managers are so friendly and helpful. Located in Hot Spring proper. Easy access to everything," reports Erich H.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer brings insect challenges at some parks. At Caddo River, one camper noted: "Got the popup all setup, then discovered there was a large wasp nest in the electric hookup box. Had to break down and move to another spot in the dark. Not a great night," warns Matthew T.

Maintenance varies by park: Some rv parks near Plainview, Arkansas require more realistic expectations. "We've been to this RV park a couple of times. Both times there is NOT a working dryer in the laundry facilities. It's frustrating when you pay for services that don't exist but is advertised as an amenity," reports Denise B. about Crystal Ridge.

Crowding during peak seasons: Caddo River Camping gets busy during water recreation months. "If you are planning to kayak, canoe or tube, then you may not mind how busy the campgrounds are. Pretty scenery and the river activities are fun, otherwise there's not much to do here," explains Melissa B.

Tips for camping with families

Wildlife encounters: J and J RV Park offers creek-side camping with natural attractions. "This park was very peaceful and quiet. You can hear the bullfrogs at night. It is right on a little creek, and there are turkeys somewhere nearby," shares Lynn G.

Pet-friendly options: Most RV sites welcome pets with designated walking areas. "Great value for the price, $48 cash/$53 card. Sites along the stream have a great view and a great place to sit and enjoy nature," notes Josh F. at J and J RV Park.

Playground accessibility: Some parks provide recreational areas for children. "Nice level pull-through lots. Hot showers, laundry, small play area. Very quiet except for the birds that wake you in the morning," observes a camper at Ivy's Cove RV Retreat.

Tips from RVers

Site selection priorities: At Treasure Isle RV Park, location matters significantly. "If you get a lakeside spot, they look lovely. But our spot was on gravel with little wiggle room. Low hanging wires were scary pulling into our site, scraping up against our ac units (13.5')," cautions Stacy W.

Leveling requirements: Many campsites in rv parks around Plainview, Arkansas require equipment. "We stayed one night at this cute little campground. Very cute little area lots of livestock and rolling hills would definitely stay here again. Most sites are back in and there is a fabulous laundry room," reports E.M. at Spencer's Landing RV Park.

Utility considerations: Water pressure varies between parks. "Recommend using a water pressure regulator, one of my pipes started leaking from the pressure," advises Josh F. from his stay at J and J RV Park.
