Very spacious sites. Excellent lakeside locations. There are no sewer connections on the lakefront. 30 amp electrical service can be a problem in very hot weather. Reported problems with electrical service seem to have been repaired. There are a number of year-round residents here who actually build their own fishing and boat docks out into the lake. At $270/month, it makes for a very inexpensive "second home" for many Arkansans, We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very well maintained park on the banks of Lake Chicot. It is owned and operated by Chicot County and the staff is very friendly and helpful. A number of the sites have sewer connection, but the lakeside ones do not. There are some long-term residents since they do not have a limit on length of stay. The park is usually full in the springtime fishing season, but they do take reservations (only a week or so in advance). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A terrific park right on Lake Chicot with large level sites with fire rings, picnic tables, upright barbecues all situated on a large grassy area dotted with huge old pecan trees. Very quiet park. RV sites are widely separated so you're not right on top of anyone else. Has boat launch, pier, laundry and picnic pavilion. This park is undoubtedly packed in the summer, but in November we ad it nearly to ourselves. Camp hosts are wonderful thoughtful people, very helpful. For people over 55, prices are halved, so a full hookup lake front site is only $10.50; monthly rate for same site is $270. Propane truck happily makes deliveries, and charges very reasonable prices. All in all, a really terrific camping experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Last review well stated. We were in Area A, Site 21 with 50 amp, tent area with fire pit, patio with table, grill and lantern hook. The site is paved, long with separate car parking area, and level. Full hookups. The park is very nice and well kept. Lake is right here. We parked here in a motorhome. We would return even though it is more expensive than the County Park.

We stopped off here while returning from a trip to AR. This is a very nice clean park that is on a lake, but out in the middle of nowhere. It is about 8 miles from the major Hwy going through town. The park is very quiet and sits right on the lake. The pool was decent and clean, although part of it was closed due to only having one life guard on duty. The scenery here is very nice. The paved sites are level and have a picnic table and fire ring. The full hook-up sites on the water are not as private as other sites. However, they are pretty well spaced. This park is in a pecan grove, so the sites are all exposed. On the way out of town, we passed by Pecan Grove RV Park. I was very glad that we opted to stay at Lake Chicot as Pecan Grove was right on a major road and did not look as quiet or secure. However, Pecan Grove is definitely closer to town. We would stay at Lake Chicot again if visiting the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park was very clean. Sites were paved, but narrow. Some of the pavement needed to be repaved. Trees were well trimmed. Personnel was friendly. Had boat launch and many sites overlooked lake. Playgrounds for kids. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Level gravel sites with 50 amp service and easy access sewer and water. Cable available for an additional $1.00. We stayed in site #19, which allowed for satellite TV usage. The buildings and picnic tables are in need of repair and maintenance. There are several driveways to route 65 and if you enter from one of these with a 40 footer it will be difficult to maneuver. The entrance is the southern most driveway. The sign to this entrance is on the opposite side of the road. If you have cat allergies, as I do, use caution since they have multiple cats in the office. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites were large enough to put up a screened-in room next to your motorhome/5th wheel. If you're smart, you'll have one. The gnats/bugs were awful! Couldn't sit on my chair outside until I had swept the dead gnats onto the ground. The pecan trees offered a good amount of shade, but the leaf clusters that dropped from the trees coated my awning and had to be washed and swept before putting away. Park had a rec room/group kitchen area, but looked like no one had been in there to clean in years. A good play ground for kids. Far too many dogs on the loose without leashes. One small child whose free running dog was barking at my dogs told me "he just doesn't get along well with other dogs." There was a large group there for Memorial Day and some have been going there for eight years. To be fair, one long-time visitor said that the gnats have never been this bad. Management was very friendly. Satellite TV reception was good, but had trouble getting a good satellite internet signal through the trees. Because of problems I have mentioned, we probably won't be going back there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice little park, only reason for 7 and not higher was mud, but it had poured rain from huricane for days so what would you expect. Excellent fishing lake just across road, sites are not lake side, but only 50 yard walk. Launching ramp and fishing pier for use only by campers. I plan on taking boat and going back for longer stay. Large trees everywhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
