Peace

The campground Does not have dispersed camping. Rates are $22 - 26 and if you have the correct park pass it will cost $10 per night.

I hate to sing the praises of this COE campground but I believe the word is out. If you are checking out the COE website this can be a bit confusing. The COE Book list this park as Murray Lock and Dam. If you are coming to the park you will see signs for Maumelle Park. By looking at the Arkansas River you would think the east side of the river would all be considered North Little Rock or Little Rock. Maumelle is on the west side of the Arkansas. Actually Maumelle continue across the river so the campground is considered to be Maumelle thereby making the park Maumelle Park.

The amazing thing about Maumelle Park is the beauty. You can sit on the banks of the Arkansas and dream of all the adventures past and present.

The park is very active for the community. The roads in the park are great for walking biking or just checking out all the campers with their friendly waves and hi’s. Count yourself lucky to get a space during the summer. Sites can be reserved and I do suggest you reserve. The 95 sites have water and electricity with some pull through sites. There is a dump station as you leave the park and each section of the park has a dump station. Flush toilets and showers typically COE units but clean.

It is truly a park setting with amazing mature trees. Most sites have shade. Several sites on the river but these sites are hard to come by. RESERVE RESERVE RESERVE.

There is a boat ramp and great playground for the children.

This park has a Medical section. It is affiliated with Baptist Hospital for their cancer patients. This is like a home away from home. Such a great idea.

This park is minutes away from shopping, dining, movies or Pinnacle Mountain. Check out the Big Dam Bridge, Three Rivers Park. So much to explore or just watch the fish jumping, birds flying or the children playing. This is a location where you will find as much or as little to do as you wish.

Fireworks are not allowed. If you do launch a boat or kayak and float towards downtown Little Rock there is a lock that you can go through to reach the downtown area. You will need a rope and if there are boats waiting you will have to wait your turn. In order to do this you will need to be able to shuttle your kayaks or boats back to the campground. That will be your responsibility. It is a neat float and an awesome experience. Check out the River Market and Clinton Library along with Heifer International. Remember LNT. Leave No Trace.
