Arkansas Parks

[galee78]

Hello All,
We are planning a trip to Arkansas for a few days and wondered if anyone has experience with Ouachita State Park near Little Rock?
Or if there are other areas we should consider.
We are looking for woods with full hook ups (if possible).

Thanks in advance!

Hey Guys,

I only have experience with Lake DeGray which is south of Little Rock. It was beautiful. However, I would be surprised if you could find any full hookups in a state park. DeGray had electric and maybe water (it's been a while). Certainly no sewer.

Good luck,

Pete

Check out Mt. Magazine. It is a little west of Little Rock outside of Paris. They have heavy woods, full hook-ups ( E,W,and S), and 50 amp at two of their sites. Highest point in Arkansas, lots of hiking trails, bicycling, over looks, hang gliding, and a lodge that overlooks the valley. We camp there often in our Landmark, lots of room to get in the sites.

This is one we really like. Maumelle is a COE park. Has good water and electric and great sites with lots of room. No sewer but you can dump as you leave. Great price if you have a Golden Passport.

We stayed at Ouachita State Park near Hot Springs, a year ago. Same one? Arkansas State parks are among the nicest we have ever seen. Can't go wrong staying there. Very clean, roomy sites, well managed. Paved patios, we had a view of the lake. Lots of big trees. Almost a perfect setting. There's plenty to do in Hot Springs. We'll go back in a heartbeat....Only drawback, secondary roads in Arkansas can be challenging when towing a trailer. Some tight turns, big hills, narrow roads with little or no shoulders. We stayed at another in the Northeast part of the State. Might be called Rolling Rapids, not sure. Just as nice but hard to get into if you have a larger rig. Prices are good too....Don

That is great park, as well as Maumelle (coe), which is near Little Rock. E and w at all sites, sewer at a few sites.

Mt. Petit Jean state park is another great one. Great campsites and beautiful vistas. Be sure to do the sunset hike with ranger. Make sure your brakes are working when you depart.

We stayed at Petit Jean state park a long time ago in our popup camper. Memories....!

We loved Petit Jean! Great sites, but as alluded to above, the road up the mountain is a little steep with some interesting switchbacks. The climb is well worth it though!

We camped in DeGray Lake a couple of years ago...as I recall it was electric and water.
