  Pocahontas City Park

  Beautiful park & fishing

  This park is in the city of Pocahontas, Arkansas. It has 7 full service concrete parking pads. A very nice boat launch & plenty of parking for trucks with boat trailers. Park has a bath house, but it's very old and not too clean. Bath house needs to be replaced. Park also has a nice basketball court & playground. It has a very peaceful vibe.

  Bad experience

  Was extremely dissatisfied with the whole experience.   Bad service with staff and dirty accommodations.  Noisey at night.  Never going back.  Also overpriced.

  Crowley's Ridge State Park Campground

  Great little campground near Paragould

  This campground was perfect for our little family reunion near Paragould. We booked three sites together and they were close enough that it was easy to visit each other. It was also a very nice little campground with lots of shade and the bathrooms were very clean and had showers. We also enjoyed the little lake and playground for the kids. The only downside were the mosquitoes, but one of us had a screened canopy that went over the picnic table, which worked great. We were very impressed with the staff and the campground and will likely return.

  Nice State Park & Campground

  Camped here during Thanksgiving 2023. Camped in our campervan in Loop A of the camnpground. Backed into site 35; not quite level, but okay. It looks like the sites inside of the loop are more level. The park is in a wooded area, although no privacy between sites. Sites were clean and very well maintained. Table, fire ring & grill included. Water & 30amp electric hookups. Restroom/showers very clean. The park and lake are beautiful. Enjoyed fishing at the fishing pier which was a short walk on a paved path from the campsite.

  Nice clean sites

  Sites are easy to get into and the camp area is kept very clean. Hiking trails right out of the campground for short daily adventures.

  Craighead Forest Park

  Nice place to stay

  Beautiful relaxing place. I’m a fan of dispersed camping yet this was still private even for a campground. Nice bathhouses with laundry. Individual campsite trash cans. They provided free wood! Nice flat paved sites with water and electric for only $25

  Nice quiet place and friendly

  Beautiful place to camp. Everyone running the park was super nice and accommodating. The only drawback that I can think of was the mosquitos. Shower house/bathroom cleaned and well maintained.

  Craighead Forest Park

  Very Nice

  It's a small camping area but very nice! There's a lake that allows canoeing, walking trail with exercise equipment. huge playground, huge parking areas with pavilions, bathrooms with hot water, water fountains throughput. They have a movie theater type to teach you about the land & heritage with mist that sprays on you to give live effects. $25.per night whether RV, Pull along, or tent camping. Bath house with toilets, showers, hot water. All camping spots have water, electric, sewage, and personal trash cans. Cons- were one area to camp The tenants were very stand off-ish and a bit rude. The folks caring for the property were nice at first then became judgemental, had the law constantly come through plus the park rangers/co-workers would sit and watch our every move, and be very nosey. I felt safe but also felt luke I was walking on eggshells the whole time. Tent camping here is not recommended but acceptable. We were visiting from out of state to get away from a hurricane in our home state and our visit was quite disappointing to say the least as far as what I've mentioned but enjoyed the park.

  What a Gem!!

  We LOVED our stay here. Playgrounds and a splash pad our kids loved. Norm, the site host, was SO helpful. We were having battery issues and he helped us diagnose and fix it.

  Jacksonport State Park Campground

  Very nice, small campground

  This a very small campsite, only 20 sites I believe, but he sites are quite large and level. About half the sites back up to the White River. 

  The campsite is somewhat off the beaten path, and there isn't necessarily a ton to do in the area, but if you're looking for quiet, and low-key stop, this is the place. 

  The grounds are very well maintained, about half the sites back up to the White River, and there is a very nice beach/swimming area as well as a boat launch. Added bonus, the bathrooms were incredibly clean!

  The visitor's center is a must see. Lots of great exhibits detailing the history of the area.

  Newport is about 15 minutes away and provides a variety of shopping and dining options. If you find yourself over that way I highly recommend stopping at Blue Bridge Brews and Bakery (tons of great coffee and pastry options).

  We Love Crowleys Ridge

  Everything 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.

  Lake Charles State Park Campground

  Cute Little Camoground

  We loved this little campground. Some sites have water, 50 amp electricity and sewer hook up while the others have 30 camp electricity and water. The sites next to the lake seem to have the best views, but they’re all nice. We stayed during spring break 2023 and the campground was about 3/4 full. The bathhouses were clean and the staff was super friendly. Park rangers drove around the campground a lot and made it very safe.

  Craighead Forest Park

  Like a state park but without the state park price

  Very nice. Clean restrooms, hot showers, reasonable laundry. Lovely lake with a 2 mile trail that goes around. It has several pavilions and playgrounds. The only downside is lots of looky-loos come through the campground and the sounds from the various playgrounds travel over the lakes and can seem quite loud.

  One nighter off the interstate

  This campground offers monthly rentals but also a place to hook up for a night or two. This is good for a one night rental when passing through. Expect noise from the interstate. This is not a typical “campground” but gets the job done for an overnight stay.

  Davidsonville Historic State Park Campground

  Beautiful Small Campground

  Beautiful, peaceful, smaller campground with a small lake, a river, hiking trails and historic sites with interpretive signage. We had a 50amp FHU site and were able to get our 44' 5th wheel in site #2, which allowed us a lovely view of the lake. It would be easier to back rigs into the sites if they didn't have the wooden signs at the entrance to each site with the site#, but we got in with lots of back and forthing. Larger sites, beautiful trees and surrounded by the changing colors of the leaves in mid-October.

  Great Park

  Pulled in after hours and they had left our space number written on the door of the office. No issues at all at the park. The dump station was easy to use. The park has nice trails along the campsites. Our spot was #30 and was pretty level, paved, and was equipped with a picnic table and a fire pit.

  Ridge sites at their best,

  They did a stellar job of putting in sites on this ridge. They're pretty level although pretty close together. Water & electric and reasoonably priced. Both ATT & Verizon worked well. The wifi info listed above must be at the office only, as there was not signal near us, we use a hot spotor  our phones.

  Nice small park

  The park was great. The tent sites were very close together but still enough room (just no privacy.) There were a significant amount of mosquitoes. I was not expecting this 🤣 we are from Southern part of the state so we didn't think it would be any worse. IT WAS. We toughed it out, I would definitely say make sure to bring firewood to keep a fire going. It seemed to help. We loved the fact that there were 4 easy/short trails that we enjoyed with our kids and the swimming area was very refreshing after a morning of hiking.

  Beautiful Park

  We stayed over Memorial Day weekend. Every site was booked but not crowded. Had a wonderful time fishing and hiking the 1.3 mile trail. This was our first stay, but will return. No Cell service for ATT. There is WiFi at the bathhouse, but was very sketchy due to the busy weekend. No swimming at the park. It is not allowed. Fishing is catch and release only except for Catfish and Brim due to recently reopening the lake.

  Nice park with surprising level sites

  With the word RIDGE in it's name you pretty much know what to expect. These folks made it work. All sites are pretty level. if not level. Water & electric at all sites with picnic table, fire rine and stand up BBQ grill. Nice tree lined road, albeit very tight with on comming trafic, as are their interior roads. ATT & Verizon cell services were both useable just not the strongest..

  Got here Sunday afternoon there wereo only3 others. With my disability pass the one night was only $12.79, tax & all.

  This was a great nightover for us and would stay here again, but not as destination park.

  Good Day Hiking

  Stayed one night tent camping. We enjoyed that the park had several different short hiking trails of various length. Only downside was I wish the tent camping spots were spread out a little further, you can hear eachother's conversations because they are all side by side, maybe 15 yards a part.
