What campers like

Convenient access: Little Rock North KOA provides easy highway access for overnight stays. As one camper stated, "Easy access for a KOA, we have a cyclone 4270 (44' triple axel 5th wheel) which is pushing it for most KOA's.

Natural surroundings: The tree cover at campgrounds near Cabot creates comfortable camping environments even during summer. A visitor to Dam Site Campground reported, "We stayed 3 nights over a weekend in early September.

Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Check site conditions before booking when traveling with larger rigs. One Little Rock North KOA camper advised, "We stopped in for a quick overnight stay and the location was convenient- which is what we love about KOA- but it wouldn't be my top choice for a longer stay. The sites are definitely tight and amenities are very basic."
Highway noise consideration: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise due to proximity to interstates. A KOA visitor noted, "The only downside was the traffic noise from the interstate, but that was to be expected."
