  Storm Creek Lake Campground

  Mixed Feelings

  I have stayed at this campground twice.  The first time (2022) was a rainy day and I didn't feel like setting up a tent in my reserved space, so I upgraded to one of the very nice, and at the time quite new cabins for about $75 total.  I loved the winding drive down to Helena-West Helena. It was beautiful, the rain was not too bad.  The cabin was wonderful.  I had such a happy experience that time, I returned to car camp last year (2023) on my way west. I did not bother setting up a tent, but rented an RV space. It was fine. . . lots of mosquitos in the evening (mid-September) and a construction crew was renting out an RV spot across from me.  There were no other campers, but I felt safe.  The bathrooms (unisex) were not nearly as clean as the first visit, but were ok.  The guys across the way were quiet and respectful.  The whole thing was ok. . . but I did have the thought expressed in another comment that there is just too much concrete and asphalt in this place.  Maybe they are concerned about keeping the jungle at bay, so they paved it . . . but consequently it feels like a parking lot with a beautiful periphery. Is also was pretty expensive for what I needed ($42), since I sleep on a cot in my SUV and don't need electricity, water, dumping, etc.  But that is my fault for not asking for a tent site.

  I decided to head there at the last minute, and called the office right before closing to rent via telephone (should have asked for a tent site, cheaper).  I did not have to make the 14 mile drive to Marianna to check in. 

  The crew staying in the RV across the way, left vert early in the morning.  It was cool and shady in my spot, so I moved my vehicle to sunny spot (tent area!) and had a nice leisurely breakfast before heading out.  It was mid-week, and nobody else was there.  A ranger (?) drove through pretty early (before I moved my car) and said hi. She knew i had rented a spot.  Very friendly, just as the folks in Marianna had been when I went there in 2022. 

  All in all it is a good spot. Quiet and safe.

  Delta Ridge RV Park

  Great place for spur of the moment stop

  We had reservations for another place further down the road but decided to leave a day early and see if we could find something on the road. This place fit the bill! It’s convenient to the highway and while we have our food, there are places to eat close by. The owner was polite and met us at the gate and showed us to our site. There are few big trees and it’s more suitable for RV camping than tent camping but this was exactly what we needed this trip. Thanks so much!

  Great spot

  Really cool spot we parked next to the gator swamp and it was a really cool area. We saw some big splashes from the pond but no gators. Great spot for the night. Free camping

  Beautiful But Without a Comfortable Bathroom

  My family uses a pop up camper to explore many of the Arkansas parks, after this trip we are considering a change! 

   Let me tell you about their bathroom/showers situation…. Do they have flushing toilets, yes! Sadly only slightly better than a hole in the ground with a seat. They thankfully have provided toilet paper, that’s a step up from tree bark, but no place to put any sanitary items…. Was there a place at one time to dispose such things? YES! Is there one any more? NO! Just a slot with a lid where the metal box once was. Granted I am at a camp that for the majority of the time only houses manly hunters, keeping that in mind I assume they do still sometimes bring their wives/girlfriends who would appreciate maybe having another small box installed for these womanly things. Moving on I don’t consider myself vain in anyway but the mirror situation is comparable to trying to see your reflection in crinkled aluminum foil, at best! While staring into what may or may not be my reflection, I start to question where is the hand soap? Absolutely nowhere, there is none. I feel they expect us to grab a pine cone and pray we don’t get pink eye because that is all your working with, pinecones and prayers! While releasing a irritated sigh I noticed I could see my breath! It’s currently 30 degrees outside and guess what these bathrooms do not have a heater!! Now to the showers, I’m only able to compare it to a prison scene from a movie… Longest yard…? The Rock…? Maybe…I’m not sure but it falls somewhere between comical and terrifying. Curtains you ask? No we don’t need those! Being able to adjust water temperatures? No! Luke warm Is what you have Luke warm is what you are happy with(said in best Russian accent) Somewhere to place your shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lufa and razor? Unheard of! You are in the wild girl…. You should have held on to that pinecone! A large button on the wall you have to push every(no exageration) ten seconds to keep the spit temperature trickle of water running?? Yes ma’am! The over head lights on a timer that goes off five minutes into your lovely prison shower experience reminding you to not drop the soap or close your eyes? WE GOT YOU BOO! Need less to say my time here, although brief, feels like purgatory, making me want to lay down in front of the passing Corps of Engineers truck as a martyr for bathroom improvements! (**US Army Corps of Engineers please reference ANY State ran park bathroom for your example!)

  Cane Creek State park

  Nice Weekend Getaway

  My family and I had a nice little getaway to Cane Creek State park. The sites are all asphalted and have electric and water. The dump station is on the way out of the park. The boat dock is really nice and the bait shop has minnows, worms, and crickets. Also, the bathrooms are located in the middle of the park and are clean. There are also a few concreted walking trails. The only bad part of the weekend was the bugs were really bad after dark so we had to go inside early. I would recommend this place to anyone and we will be back.

  Great place to stay!

  Very nice campground. The camp hosts were wonderful people. The bathrooms were immaculate and the campground was very well maintained. The campsites were all sufficiently spaced. Occasionally a barge would go by. The Arkansas River is part of the McClellan-Kerr navigation system. Approximately 11 million tons of cargo is shipped from the Mississippi River to Tulsa every year through the McClellan-Kerr navigation system. The sunsets were taken from my chair on the bank of the Arkansas River.

  H&G RV campground

  Easy site for an overnight stop

  Although we were towing while having to stop here, Gary made it worth it to have to disconnect for the night. He answered a late night phone call, knew exactly where we were when trying to look for a spot for the night, sent us directions and met us at our spot to get us all set up. There are only a few pull through spots and the rest back in. It was a perfect little spot close enough to the highway but far enough not to even see it. Overall a very nice spot for an overnight stay.

  H&G RV campground

  We really liked it!

  An overnight stop on our route. Gary was great, most helpful and it was a pleasure talking with him. This is a rather small campsite and I recommend advanced reservations. Two pull through sites that do not have sewer hookups but there is a dump station if needed. Electrical hookups are 50 amp so have an adapter if you need 30 amp service. I’d certainly recommend it.

  Storm Creek Lake Campground

  Clean and tidy, a little frustrating

  We're traveling across the country and used our RV site as home base  for 2 days. Campsites and bath/showers were very clean. Very quiet. A bit too much pavement, with no trees or natural space between campsites. When you are leaving, the pump out station is located on the wrong side of the road without an easy way to turn around. Also the water hose at the pump out station wasn't working -- no water to rinse with but from our tank.

  While they don’t have much in way of amenities they make up for it in service.

  beautiful

  Beech Point Campground is an amazing lakeside spot. Our site came with a bench to view the lake and tent pad is in the perfect spot. It was peaceful and provided the perfect place to recharge our batteries! The bathrooms were very nice. Throughout the campground, sewer hook-ups are available.

  Mississippi River State Park

  amazing

  This park is absolutely fantastic! The ride through the park, on the Crowley's Ridge Parkway is breathtakingly beautiful. There is an abundance of wildlife and nature's beauty. This park travels along the Mississippi River and there are roads that take you right to the river to view. We traveled down to the St. Francis and Mississippi River confluence to see the historic lows. All along the way, the scenery is amazing. We never knew there was such a variety in landscape not only in this area, but the park as well. Everything is very well taken care of and the park overall keeps a smile on your face! The staff at the Visitor's Center is VERY friendly and knowledgeable. Take some time to view the exhibits and learn about the area. They offer quite a bit for nature lovers. Overall, there are 4 campgrounds in this park. While they may offer different amenities, they are all well kept with beautiful scenery. Beech Point Campground is an island you can drive to and camp, located on Bear Creek Lake. We stayed at Storm Creek Campground and loved every minute of it.

  Storm Creek Lake Campground

  awesome

  To check in, you must go to the Mississippi River State Park welcome center which is only 14 miles away but the gorgeous, twisty road makes the trek a little longer. And that's not necessarily a complaint. We saw 11 turkeys on the way. Wildlife and the beauty of nature (especially the leaves during this time of year) is incomparable. We had NO idea that this part of the state was so beautiful. Finding this place is truly a treasure. Pictures won't do it justice. Clean, quiet, and peaceful describe this little treasure. There are 4 bathroom and shower combos which are incredibly clean. There is even a little bicycle repair station by the bathhouse as there are many biking and hiking trails around! There are 5 little camper cabins as well and they are SUPER cute! To sum it up, this camp and this park are FANTASTIC!! Oh! And the people at the Welcome Center are some of the nicest we have encountered! They will even deliver firewood for you!

  Saracen Trace RV Park

  city rv park

  It is a lovely, well-kept park. Lots of wildlife-squirrels everywhere. It's $20 per night. Water and electricity available but no sewer although there is a dump station. There is no bathroom or bathhouse, however. It's located at the back of Regional Park. Close enough to Pine Bluff yet far enough away to enjoy nature and silence.

  Forrest City, Arkansas…Would return

  Lovely small campground. Well maintained. They meet you at the gate and show you to site then come to camper to collect your stay after your set up. Gentlemen was extremely kind and friendly. Perfect host and we felt that personal touch as they welcomed us and thanked us for staying with them. Spaces were perfectly spaced. No issues with amenities. They had Wi-Fi if we wanted it but we have it on board. No cable. Easy in and easy out. There’s a restaurant at the entrance that’s an easy walk. Highly recommend.
