If you are going across I-40 and need a stop on the west side of Memphis, this is the place. Spend a few minutes driving north of the freeway and enjoy this very quiet and pretty state park. The staff is friendly and courteous. All facilities are clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a big park away from towns and urban areas. It's set up for equestrian use with corrals and horse trails in one of the three camping areas. We have a big rig and stayed in the new loop. We found several nice sites that are level to choose from. We visited the other two camping areas to see what they are like. The equestrian loop had deep sites but many of them are sloping. The other older camping loop was set in a meadow with all the sites in the trees on the perimeter of the open area. It was more typical of the average less developed camping sites you usually find in state parks. It felt woodsy We hiked several trails including one that retraced part of the "Trail of Tears". Historical information boards near the trail head tell the story of the Indians that were forced to travel through the park on their way to Oklahoma. The bath house in our loop was clean and modern. We visited the lake at this campground but came away a bit surprised that they haven't done much trail work around it. This is a good big "get away from it all park". We camped here in a Motorhome.
A beautiful park. Closer to Wynn, Arkansas; than Forrest City. Staff was very accommodating. Restrooms were clean, but the showers could have used a few more hooks for towels and clothing. Rate was for a Water and Electric site in lower campground. All sites there were well spread out, although all were back in. Plenty of things for the outdoor lover including bike trails, hiking, fishing, and etc.I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
As with all the Arkansas State Parks we've visited, this park was beautiful. Facilities well kept and very clean with helpful staff. Campsites well laid and semi private with fire rings, pits and picnic tables. We will definitely be returning! We camped here in a Motorhome.
I camped here one night in a tent on my way to NC. I got in after 6PM and found the office still open. The staff was very helpful. I got a wonderful private site with lots of space. It was a Saturday night and I did not have reservations. The camping area I assigned was not lake view but it was one of the best campsites and prettiest parks I have seen. I wish I had time to check out the trails and other facilities. I highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Tent.
We stayed in the new, premium campground. Sites are good for big rigs, but as a tenter I didn't care for them. They were very spread out and There wasn't enough tree cover for me. You had to walk down steps to get to the pad. Playground was a very, very long walk from site. Next time I think we will stay at the older campground. The activites at the Ranger Station were nice and there were lots of great trails to hike. We loved the park, but not the new campground.. it just seemed kinda sterile. We camped here in a Tent.
Very nice state park. I stayed in the full hookup section which has very large sites with concrete pads. Many sites are pull through. The W/E only section of the park also looked nice. There are a lot of shade trees. The roads are all paved. The store has the usual necessities and gift items. The staff is friendly and helpful. A small beach and swimming area is available in one of the two lakes at the park. One of the things that makes this park unusual is its huge size. There are 3 distinct camping areas, two lakes, and thousands of acres of land. There are also hiking trails, and an amphitheater. It is about 13 miles North of I-40 on a 2 lane road. There were no problems with the road and the signs are easy to follow into the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground was very nice. Don't be scared away by bathroom comments on another review. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were great. The showers were very private. You have your own room with a small dressing room in each one. The campground was very close to many places. The staff was very accommodating. They only had two spaces left which they said were the worst in the campground so they gave us a discount because of this. The spaces weren't too bad, they were just on a hill. We would definitely stay there again. We stayed one night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What a beautiful park. We stayed in the full hookup loop but even that was great with all the trees and green grass. The only downside was it was so cold we weren't able to enjoy it as we were only here for one night. I would love to come back and spend more time in warmer weather. Our congratulations to the state of Arkansas for doing such a great job of having a park without losing the environment. We would definitely come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is wonderful. Very spacious sites. With all the trees, each site is very private. It was also very quiet, even considering that it was a holiday weekend. The bathrooms and showers are very clean. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful, quiet state park that is fairly close to I-40. Beautiful large trees with lots of birds and wildlife. It was a good alternative to staying in Memphis. We only stayed one night but plan on going back. No sewer hookups in the majority of the park. The upper equestrian area was much nicer with individual, private sites on newly constructed sites, overlooking a small lake...all with sewer connections. I would pay the extra money and stay here if possible. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed just overnight. The park is beautiful. About 15 miles north of Forrest City and 5 miles south of Wynne, and just 40 miles west of Memphis area. The sites were well planned with concrete pads, deck rails, full hookups and very level. Each site was spaced away from the next to provide privacy. We chose a pull thru and did not unhook the TOAD. Many activities in the park for family. Check out the website! This is 7000 acres of nature and one of Arkansas hidden treasures. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice and peacefull, site 42 thru 56 is the new loop and is close to the beach and playground this loop has 2 restrooms and shower buildings. Lots of trees and lots of space between sites. Some are small sites and some are pull thrus. We really liked the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park is located in a beautiful setting on Crowley's Ridge. We stayed in the full hookup loop where the sites are level and paved. The park staff were very friendly. There are several hiking trails, including one that has a swinging bridge. Fire pits, table and tent pads are at each full hookup site. The park is about an hours drive west of Memphis, TN. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an excellent campground. It has very large, open grassy areas for playing. The bathrooms are very nice and well maintained. During the peak season, they usually have lots of programs for the kids. There are a few hiking trails, a nice beach and tennis courts--there is even a driving range. We love the openness of the sites and have camped on 2 of the 3 loops. We have not camped on the middle loop that is actually on Lake Dunn by the playground because it is being renovated. I suspect it will not be a disappointment once finished! Highly recommended. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
