At first entrance it appears as if you are entering a large parking lot. There is a large pavilion to picnic and pet area by the water. Each site requires a 50 amp but the office will offer one for purchase if you need a 50 to 30 amp connections. The center lot is for pull through sites the other site areas non-pull through by water and fence. The fence area is close to the bridge but could be limited with views since it is far away from the water and Class A frequent area.

Two things I love:

1. The unique downtown riverside views
2. The ease of getting to this RV park even though it is downtown Little Rock.

Stayed four nights. The slots were dispersed well and wooded. All the trees make it hard to back in. Also, my slot was on a hill, and we arrived after dark so I had to back a 30 foot trailer up a hill in the dark avoiding trees but if three 21 year old girls can do it it’s possible. The other sites weren’t as bad, it’s hit or miss really. There were three areas, A B and C. They are divided by class, one is for bigger rigs and is right on the water near the dump station. All the slots are near the lake. There are wonderful trails and waterfalls to find. Pet friendly, good variety of trails with varying levels of accessibility, one even accommodates wheelchairs. There are two shower houses on each end of the park. There are hookups with or without sewage.

I like this park. When we arrived with a reserved pull through site, they asked if we would consider a back in site, which we accepted. There were some park closures due to gov’t shutdown that shifted guests plans. The back on site was really nice against the walking path. The site has full hookups including sewer and cable. The Wi-Fi is pretty good for streaming. I had a little trouble working on a team call but I switched to cellular and it was fine. Both AT&T and Verizon have full bars. We didn’t visit the baths, showers, laundry now coffee shop. The park is quiet and we even got a very friendly visit from the resident black cat, Moses. The sites are level. Be careful on the road in. It’s a little bumpy but it evident they do try to maintain it. It also has two turns that you want to take wide.
