Leashed pets are welcome throughout the park's camping areas, which include waterfront sites with views of cypress trees along the shoreline. The park maintains clean facilities and offers water and electric hookups for campers traveling with animals. Warfield Point Park Washington County Park also permits pets, with campsites positioned directly on the Mississippi River providing spectacular views.

The park's fishing pier and boat access points allow anglers to bring along their dogs while enjoying water recreation. At Pecan Grove RV Park, concrete pads in pull-through spots provide stable footing for dogs and their owners. Most campgrounds in the region provide basic amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and access to drinking water essential for pet comfort.

Mills campground, may close seasonally while showers at certain locations operate with limited temperature control.

RangerPecan Grove is a nice place to stay overnight. They have several cabins (even a couple on the lake) and RV campsites. We stayed in the same pull through site this year. Dog park fenced in with a dog bag/trash station. Bathrooms were clean - not a single spiderweb or bug on the wall/floor.
GuideI stopped here for one night with a travel trailer and was in site B-01 for $16. The sites are spacious. For example, the water hookups are half way between the sites to be shared, and my 50ft hose just barely could reach. It is pet friendly and we had fun sitting on a dock and watching the cargo boats. There is absolutely no cell phone signal and no WiFi, so have physical directions on you. The park is only a couple miles from Arkansas Post National Memorial which was very beautiful and worth a visit.

This site is right beside the highway so it might be noisy. Gravel pad with a little bit of seperation between. There is a bayou behind the sites so there might be some fishing. This area is in the Mississippi delta farmland.
ScoutThis park is a hidden gem right on the Mississippi River. Tons of rv spots and tent camping areas. There wasn't a lot of campers here so we were able to pick a spot away from others. Be aware their site says 52 full service sites, that's a lie! They only have 5 sites that are FULL hookups. All other sites have electricity and city water ONLY! Also, payment is CASH ONLY.
LegendGreat little park ,Mississippi's first state park,nice small park very clean and well maintained beautiful big trees along the waters edge ,quiet and relaxing open year round with full hook-ups including sewer
RangerWe visited Cane Creek over Memorial Day weekend. The sites were level. We did have several fire ant hills that we had to deal with and quite a few red wasps. We were able to watch numerous birds (pileated woodpeckers) and even saw a swamp rat swimming in the lake (resembles a beaver with a skinny tail). You have to walk through thick brush on a slope to reach the water. My husband mostly chose to walk down to the fishing pier and docks. It was about a two minute walk away from our site. We stayed in site 17 I believe.
There are water and electricity hookups with a bathroom close by. We rode bikes so it didn’t take long to get the the restroom. Our neighbors had issues with their electricity because they were trying to run an air fryer, and it kept throwing the breaker. We ran our box fan without any issues.
You can rent kayaks for very reasonable. Do it! The water trail is unlike any I have seen. Don’t miss out on the hiking trails, but watch out for ticks!
You can rent an RV here as well. It’s set up at the entrance of the campground. It seemed like a nice setup. We rode past it several times on our explorations of the park.
GuideThis is a beautiful campground on Lake Chicot in Arkansas. The lakeside sites on so nice. You can watch the sun sets on the lake. There are cypress trees at the lake's edge all around the lake. The nearby town is small, but does have groceries and a few good restaurants.
Staff in the office are very helpful and pleasant. We have stayed here twice now and there are generally sites available to choose from. There are some maintenance issues but they are working on upgrades in the campground.
TravelerDecent park on the Mississippi. Park is maintained although needs more attention. Awesome location and should be busier. About 5 full timers and a few overnighters. We got a site right on the water. Nice viewing tower, launch ramp. Very nice park host, Joel.
