TravelerStopped here while passing through Missouri on a Saturday on 4th of July weekend and there were only 3 other campers when we arrived late afternoon. The sites are nice and big with picnic tables and fire rings, even a few “doubles” that would fit two big rigs side by side. The trail around the lake makes for a nice short walk with the dogs and it was surprisingly not terribly buggy for July. No hook-ups, which was the only downside since it was so hot and my Husky demands AC in the summer!
TravelerNice quiet RV Park with tall shade trees and in a good location. Full hook-ups. Level sites. Nice owner. Good prices.
TravelerThis is a great park with many things to do. Splash pad, multiple playgrounds for all ages of kids. a new walking and biking path. hiking trails. a lake that is great for fishing. very family friendly park.
TravelerEverything about this park is amazing. They recently redid the swimming area and cleaned and refilled with better water. They have paddle boats you can rent from Memorial Day through Labor Day. We have stayed many trips in this park. Site 1 is our favorite. Features pull through with a large area including tent pad and nice gathering area. We glamp camp and we’re able to set up a 16x20 tent, but the tent did go over the size of the pad. All sites have water and electricity, except for a few primitive sites. There is a nice campground and walking area. Also a great hiking trail which isn’t too hard. The park is close to Paragould with a Walmart and a dollar general is a couple miles away. The only site I wouldn’t recommend is site 9. It has a very steep hill and would only be good for very small campers or tent camping.
LegendExcellent weekend camping at Craighead Forest State Park outside Jonesboro, Ar.
The park offers four trails, one gravel pedestrian only, one paved multi-use with excercise equipment, a forest trail and one dirt trail for bikers and runners. Three large playgrounds, pavilions and several small playgrounds. A dog park/beach access area and dog dock. Fishing and watercraft access. Camping and a nature center.
When we arrived at the campground we had the choice of several primitive campsites. There is limited parking in the small gravel lot. There are three sites near the lot and then several others about 200 to 300 ft down the gravel trail.
This is the same gravel trail, approximately 3 miles long, that circles the lake. Needless to say there is a lot of foot traffic on it.
There was plenty of room at the site. We set up two tents and a hammock plus had the picnic table, fire pit and gravel pad which is right on the lake. If you bring your fishing gear or water craft it’s easy to tie off right at your campsite.
Directly across from primitive camping are two very large , active playgrounds a pavilion and restroom. There’s a snow cone vendor with loud music who frequents that parking area too. In addition the park is not closed during the night so we got to listen to several loud conversation, music blaring from a car stereo until about 1:30am and a rather colorful argument at one point.
You drive through the RV area on your way in to the primitive area. There is a nice new bathroom facility with uncomfortably warm cranking heat, the metal fixtures were warm to the touch. One drawback to there being only one restroom about 1/4 mile from the primitive area, you know people aren’t walking that far at night when the need to go…, just saying.
So Pros: centrally located, water access, nice trails, good size sites, a lot to do
Cons: foot traffic, noise, no privacy, noise, not limited access
LegendCraighead Forest Park was conceived in 1937 when the Young Mens' Civic Club began work on the lake. It is now a city owned park that is located in the rolling hills of Crowley's Ridge. The park encompasses 692 acres and should be the pride and joy of Jonesboro. A residential area has grown around the park which will ensure the peacefulness of the area. Basketball, bike and running trails, bird watching, camping, disc golf, fishing, horseshoes, playgrounds, softball, volleyball. There is a great splash pad for the kids. This place has it all rolled into one great package. The grass and wooded areas are well maintained to make for a wonderful stay.
This is a small, compact campground on a one lane road with a nice turn around at the bottom at the lake. Some sites are called water sites but I consider them sites with a view of the water. Most sites are level, some not, so when you reserve ask for one of the sites that has the new concrete pads. The campground is located away from the ball areas so it is very quiet and not being on a thru street the only traffic is to be the campground traffic. Sites are wooded and there was a nice breeze coming off the lake. My first thought when I booked was MOSQUITOES you can't be from that area with out thinking of them. For the two days we were there not a mosquito and almost no flies. This is a wonderful surprise for anyone coming through Jonesboro. We will be back. Being in the south we all know how hot and humid it can be and a trip to the bathroom/shower facility is often not the most pleasant. Loved the shower/bathroom facilities. Air Conditioned, it was amazing with the temps reaching 100 and more while we were there.. This campground had set the bar high and I am sure they will always attain excellence.
The park has approximately 15 miles of mountain bike trails intertwined in the forest, there is a 2.4 mile chat trail that winds around the lake and a 2.9 miles if nicely paved road that circles the park. There is an area for ATV riders and many trails can accommodate horses. Check out the three trails that lead to the Forrest L. Wood Crowley's Ridge Nature Center.
The Forest L. Wood Crowley's Ridge Nature Center gives the visitor a chance to see the story of a very special ridge that runs along the top of the Mississippi Delta. They have a 17,033 square foot facility that features an education, exhibit and meeting facility that is on 160 acre prairie. There is a 2.5 acre pond and about 100 acres of woodlands. the Nature Center is the perfect accessory to your stay at the Craighead Forest Park.
Jonesboro offers plenty of entertainment not nature related. Arkansas State University, a great college town, all types of restaurants, chain and local, movie theatre, grocery stores, shopping mall. There is the Arkansas State University Museum that features a 21,000 square feet of historic, archaeological and natural history exhibits. It mainly focuses on the history and cultural heritage of Northeast Arkansas and the Mississippi River Delta.
Jonesboro might not be quite the draw of many other areas but I think you might be surprised.
Jonesboro is the fifth largest city in Arkansas weighing in at over 67,000 people
GuideWe did a 1 night stay passing through to St. Louis. All sites we saw were full hookups and our site was nice and level. Close to town so everything you could need is convenient and easy to access. Would stay again.
LegendThis resort is located right alongside Interstate 555 just as you enter Jonesboro. It just changed ownership and is an RV park in it's infancy. It needs a great deal of work and is being upgraded. At this time they have 49 sites with monthly rates from less than $500 per month. Different rates for 50 and 30 amp service. As stated in the description this location is selective in what type of RV is allowed. There is a shower house nearing completion along with laundry facilities. Landscaping is needed and if you have solar panels you will have more than enough sun to keep your batteries charged. Lack of trees might be an issue for some along with the noise from the interstate. Another rv park is needed in Jonesboro and this one will fill that void.
Direction are needed to get to the campground. From Jonesboro on I 555 take exit 39 onto King Drive. Turn right onto Dalton Farmer Road. You will see a Dead End sign but continue on to the end of the road and you will see the campground. I would classify the lake mentioned as a pond. During the summer as long as the mosquitoes were not bad it would make a nice trail around it.
