Best Campgrounds near Wynne, AR

Camping options near Wynne, Arkansas center around Village Creek State Park, which provides a range of accommodation types including tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins. Located approximately 5 miles north of Wynne, this 7,000-acre park sits on Crowley's Ridge, a unique geological formation that creates distinct ecosystems not found elsewhere in the Mississippi Delta region. The park features nearly 100 campsites spread across multiple camping areas, with both primitive tent sites and developed RV sites with electric and water hookups. Several campgrounds within a 30-mile radius offer additional options, including Delta Ridge RV Park in Forrest City and Lake Poinsett State Park near Harrisburg.

Seasonal considerations affect camping experiences throughout the region, with summer humidity and mosquitoes being notable factors. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, though spring and fall typically provide the most comfortable camping conditions. Village Creek State Park's campground is divided into loops, with Loop B offering full hookup sites that accommodate larger RVs. Many sites require advance reservations, particularly during weekends and holidays when the park's proximity to Memphis makes it a popular destination. Road access throughout the area is generally good, with paved roads leading to most established campgrounds. Cell service can be spotty in some areas, particularly in the more remote sections of Village Creek State Park. As one camper noted, "No cell service. No public phone in park. Parks signage states WiFi at park visitor center could be used to make phone calls. We found this not true with our T-MOBILE service."

The camping experience in this region features distinctive natural surroundings on Crowley's Ridge, with hiking trails that showcase unique plant species and geological formations. Several visitors highlight wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly deer sightings, as a highlight of staying at Village Creek State Park. "Many deer walking freely at night. Water and electric hookups, bathrooms and a museum too," shared one reviewer. Campsites at Village Creek vary in privacy and shade, with some offering lake views while others are more secluded in wooded areas. The park's two small lakes provide fishing opportunities, though swimming areas are described as somewhat muddy. Bathroom facilities at most established campgrounds in the region are well-maintained, with Village Creek and Lake Poinsett both receiving positive reviews for their clean shower houses and restrooms.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Great family vacation campground

    One of the largest campgrounds in the state. weekends fill up fast with local families, enjoying the campground with their kids and dogs. Lots of bike riding trails as well as trails for people that bring their horses for the horse camp section. Sites are fairly close together. Camp is well maintained and has a great visitors center with friendly staff.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Quiet and Relaxing

    This place is very beautiful and DEEP into to woods. The sites are very spread out with privacy though and we loved that!

    We arrived after hours and our site had a pamphlet with our name and some basic information for our stay.

    In the morning, the spot was very beautiful and tucked away in the woods with visibility to the lake down the hill.

    It rained briefly and our spot was down a slight hill so there was a bit of concern with puddling, but there was proper drainage and the site didn’t puddle as much as we would’ve thought! The site was very leveled!

    We lost service about 5/10 minutes out from the park with Verizon so if there are things you need to search before do that!

    When we left we stopped by the visitor center that had a pretty wide range of things to do with a gift store. The staff and rangers were very nice!

    We would visit again!

    Delta Ridge RV Park

    Perfect for a single overnight

    Small, tight campground that has no amenities at all, but is priced accordingly. This campground has full hookups at every site, the sites are tight enough together that opposing slides wouldn’t fit, there are no bathrooms, laundry facilities, etc. It is conveniently located very close to I40 and is minutes from shopping and restaurants.

    Added bonus……the WiFi is rock solid. I didn’t bother using my Starlink as I was able to stream from the campgrounds wifi.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Really nice, quiet CG

    We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 50 for 1 night in mid September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, as are the sites. The sites themselves all seemed pretty level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful and about half full while we were there. Our site, 50, was a pull-through, as were several, but most were back in. There is some shade depending on the site. The bathhouses are showing their age a bit. 

    AT&T coverage was basically nonexistent with 1 bar of 5GE service but 0 MB/s of throughput. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 13 MB/s.

    Good rest for weary travelers!

    Arrived after hours to Campsite area A (sites 1-41). Note: reservation app does was not allow same day reservations, so find "available" site and pay at kiosk at visitor center. Hard to see park at night but in the morning found clean restrooms and shower --a happy find. Park offers nice large sites for tent and RVs with power, water, picnic table & fire rings. Really nice campgrounds with golf and equestrian facilities near by.

    Mississippi River State Park Campground

    Beautiful and quiet

    This small campground is beautiful and kept very clean. Sites are full hookup. The bath house is very clean. There are four private toilet/shower rooms. All handicapped accessible. My favorite sites are 12, 13, and 14. My least favorite were 9, 10, and 11, but they are pull through sites.

    Dagmar Wildlife Management Area Campsites

    Awesome and Free!!

    You definitely could hear the interstate but was still very secluded, clean, a little swampy (only in the water), but I place for us to stay the night. Bug spray was needed, but what do you expect it's the woods. I'm pretty sure Bigfoot might hang out, lol.

What to do

Boating on two lakes: Village Creek State Park features two lakes where visitors can rent boats or bring their own. "Lots of trails and activities to do around the area. Wish we weren't staying in a tent and would have come at a cooler part of the year. Was too hot to do anything at the beginning of July," notes Kali D. about Village Creek State Park.

Golf at championship course: The park offers a 27-hole golf course that draws visitors year-round. One camper at Village Creek describes it as "a gorgeous 27 hole golf course. It is always well kept, the staff is pleasant and they have a small store at the visitor center."

Kayak through cypress forest: At Mississippi River State Park, about 45 miles from Wynne, visitors can explore unique ecosystems. "The kayak tour of Cypress forest was the highlight of the trip. We could see water from every side of our camper," shares Chad L.

Hike the Trail of Tears: The region contains well-preserved sections of the historic Trail of Tears. "There is a particularly stunning trail that includes one of the most well-preserved sections of the Trail of Tears. This made for both a lovely hike and a history lesson for our seven year old."

What campers like

Lakeside views: Many campsites offer direct access to water views and fishing opportunities. At Lake Poinsett State Park, about 30 miles from Wynne, "Sites were not the fartherest apart, but each was very spacious. Large level gravel sites with water, but no sewer. Free, but spotty wifi throughout the campground," according to Gary P.

Wildlife viewing: The varied ecosystems support diverse wildlife populations. At Village Creek, one camper noted, "This place was very beautiful and DEEP into to woods. The sites are very spread out with privacy though and we loved that! In the morning, the spot was very beautiful and tucked away in the woods with visibility to the lake down the hill."

What you should know

Weather considerations: Summer heat and humidity require preparation. "Was too hot to do anything at the beginning of July. Ended up leaving early," reports one Village Creek camper about summer conditions.

Mosquito protection: Insects can be problematic during warmer months. At Meeman-Shelby State Park, about 45 miles from Wynne, a camper advises, "Bring citronella candles for your table when camping and try to put a dryer sheet in your pocket to ward off mosquitoes."

Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies widely between campgrounds. "We lost service about 5/10 minutes out from the park with Verizon so if there are things you need to search before do that!" notes Brittany R.

Lake conditions: Some lakes in the area undergo periodic maintenance. At Lake Poinsett, "The lake has finally been repaired and they have begun the refill process after is has been dry for several years," explains Shana D.

Campsite selection: Sites vary significantly in quality and amenities. "We stayed in the B loop FHU area. The sites there are large, and spaced out pretty well. Bathrooms were clean, park staff was great," notes Bob M. about Village Creek State Park.

Playground access: Several parks feature updated play areas for children. Craighead Forest Park offers "several different playgrounds and walking trails! Great fishing and even a splash pad for the kids to enjoy!" according to Donna M.

Swimming options: During summer months, designated swimming areas provide relief from heat. "There is a really nice day use area," at Mississippi River State Park, with one camper noting the "Swimming beach is nearby."

Loop selection: At Village Creek, different camping loops offer varied experiences. "If you stay in the B loop, you're about a two mile hike to the hiking trails. The A loop is much closer to that," advises Bob M.
