Caddo River Access RV Park

Caddo River Access RV Park sits directly on the Caddo River in Glenwood, Arkansas, managed as a state park facility with electric and water hookups available at rates ranging from $12 to $40 per night. Sites are small and close together, with shade from surrounding trees and grills, fire rings, and picnic tables at each spot. The campground is positioned right off a highway bridge, which means road noise and traffic are a consistent presence, day and night.

River access is the main draw here. Canoe, kayak, and tube rentals are available through an on-site outfitter, and the current does most of the work on floats, making the river accessible to a range of skill levels. The outfitter drop spot is within walking distance of the sites. Firewood, ice, and small stores are also nearby. As Melissa B. notes, "you have to travel if you plan to hike any trails," so paddlers and tubers will get the most out of a stay here.

Campers have flagged a few practical concerns worth knowing before arrival. One reviewer found a wasp nest inside an electric hookup box. The bathhouse is not close to all sites, and during busy summer weekends the campground fills up. Pets are welcome, and reservations are available. Nearby alternatives worth considering include River Run Resort and Recreation Area about 1.8 miles east, or Lucky's Campground Canoe & Kayak Rental to the northwest, both along the same stretch of river. This campground works best for paddlers who want quick water access and don't need much beyond a hookup site and a launch point.

Many visitors appreciated the river access and basic amenities, though noise from highway traffic and construction was commonly noted. Sites are small but maintained, with some facility concerns reported.

Riverside/Roadside/Farmers Market

The campsite is closer to the river/bridge construction than the map says, and was currently blocked by construction vehicles, but it looked like a nice spot with hookups. Pretty noisy with the bridge work going on

Great for insect lovers

Got the popup all setup, then discovered there was a large wasp nest in the electric hookup box. Had to break down and move to another spot in the dark. Not a great night. Bath house was little shop of horrors, pic attached.

Very Busy

If you are planning to kayak, canoe or tube, then you may not mind how busy the campgrounds are. The bath/showers are not terribly close, unless you're staying near the bunk houses. Pretty scenery and the river activities are fun, orherwise there's not much to do here. You have to travel if you plan to hike any trails.

Caddo River Access

Campsites are small and close together but very well kept. Grills, fire Rings, and picnic tables available. Nice shaded area for tent camping. They are very close to the outfitter drop spot. Right on the river. Bathroom facilities are very nice and well kept. Outfitter has very nice quality boats for rent as well. Pleasant first experience with staff. Be warned that the campsite is right off a highway bridge so a decent amount of traffic through at all times. Stores located close by.

Great weekend getaway!

This is an awesome place to camp and get away without going too far! It is located a little south of central Arkansas so it’s easily accessible to the whole state. It’s also very affordable and has great amenities. The camp sites have good shade and are all close to the water. You can start fires, keep your vehicle right by, and bring your furry friend along too! The float is also so much fun and accessible for all ages! There’s so much to see and the water actually moves instead of you having to paddle the whole way. All the staff is friendly and there’s little stores, ice, and firewood available nearby.
