Tips from RVers
Width constraints: Several parks have limited space between sites that can affect large rigs. "We drove in this time with a longer rental unit with a trailer attached and found ourselves in a couple of tough turns trying to get to our spot. Wider lanes and intersections would be appreciated," advises a repeat visitor to Texarkana RV Park & Event Center.
Site selection considerations: Checking slide-out clearance before setup prevents problems. "Beware of your slide placement before parking, as site poles may be in the way of a slide fully opening," recommends an RVer about Texarkana RV Park & Event Center.

I was able to call ahead, reserve a spot, and have an automatic check in upon arrival. We are traveling cross country and didn't arrive until 2 AM.
