Pecan Grove Campground

105 RV Sites

Pecan Grove Campground in Lake Village, Arkansas, offers 105 full-hookup RV sites on Lake Chicot with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 46 feet. Categories are sized by rig length — Economy for 1 to 18 feet, Traditional 19 to 27, Large 28 to 36, and King 37 and up — alongside a deluxe tier, boat ramp, and boat docks. One hundred five sites run in Economy, Traditional, Large, King, and Deluxe categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 46 feet. Pricing by rig length is genuinely fair — a small trailer is not paying for space it cannot use, and a 40-foot coach knows exactly where it fits. Accessible sites are available. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A boat ramp and boat docks give direct lake access for boating and fishing, with a dog park on the grounds and productive birding along the shoreline. The amenity set is focused rather than broad — this is a fishing and lake campground first. Pets are welcome. Lake Chicot is Arkansas's largest natural lake and the largest oxbow lake in North America, a 21-mile crescent of still water cut off from the Mississippi in Chicot County's Arkansas Delta. The largemouth bass, crappie, bream, and catfish fishing is the reason most guests come. Spring and fall bring the best fishing and the most comfortable Delta weather. Reserve ahead for those windows and for summer weekends.

Rivertown Rose Campground

166 RV Sites

Rivertown Rose Campground in Vicksburg, Mississippi, offers 166 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Standard back-in and pull-through categories join an outdoor pool, clubhouse, and dog park at the confluence of the Yazoo and Mississippi Rivers. One hundred sixty-six sites run in standard back-in and standard pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet, with picnic tables. The 100-foot capacity handles any coach with a tow. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. If you arrive after hours, an envelope with a map and check-in details will be waiting in the late arrival mailbox. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with sports courts, volleyball, corn hole, a playground, and a dog park across the grounds. Boating and a creek are nearby. Pets are welcome. Vicksburg occupies one of the most historically significant geographic positions in the American South. The 1863 siege turned on control of this bluff, and the Vicksburg National Military Park, the Mississippi River waterfront, and a genuinely revived downtown give the city a cultural depth that rewards more than an overnight — an extended stay here is substantially more interesting than the interstate would suggest. The campground operates year-round. Spring and fall deliver the most comfortable conditions along the river. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Askew's Landing RV Campground

79 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 20 Tent Sites

Askew's Landing RV Campground in Edwards, Mississippi, offers 79 full-hookup RV sites, a cabin, and 20 tent sites across 40 acres, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Named categories — Lakefront, Lakeview, Horseshoe Bend, Magnolia Flats, The Field, The Hill, and The Pines — join an outdoor pool, lake, and kayak rentals. Seventy-nine sites span Horseshoe Bend, Lakefront, Lakeview, Magnolia Flats A, Magnolia Flats B, The Field, The Hill, and The Pines categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 80 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming every section rather than numbering tiers makes the property easy to picture, and Lakefront is the one to request. Eighty feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. A cabin and 20 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and RV storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a lake, pond, and kayak rentals supporting boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. Gem mining, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, a playground, pavilion, community fire pit, and dog park fill the rest, with planned activities and productive birding. The property operates as a wedding venue. Forty acres of former plantation land sits two and a half miles west of I-20 Exit 19 in Hinds County, with Vicksburg close and the Mississippi Petrified Forest 28 miles north. Spring and fall are most comfortable. Reserve ahead.

Grand Ecore RV Park

59 RV Sites

A boat ramp gives river access, with a recreation center, pavilion, walking trails, community fire pit, and dog park filling the grounds. Pets are welcome. The riverside setting above the bluffs is the property's defining feature, and the position is unusually convenient — minutes from I-49 without the noise and asphalt of an interstate park. Natchitoches is the oldest permanently settled community in the Louisiana Purchase territory, with a National Historic Landmark district along Cane River Lake, the Creole plantation corridor south of town, and one of the most layered cultural landscapes in the state. The Christmas Festival of Lights draws visitors from across the South. Spring and fall deliver the most comfortable conditions in northwest Louisiana. Reserve well ahead for the Christmas Festival season and for Northwestern State event weekends.

50 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites, 1 House, 4 Wagons, 1 Lodge

God's Country Resort in Shreveport, Louisiana, offers 85 full-hookup RV sites, 10 cabin, house, and lodge units, 11 tent sites, and five tipis and wagons inside the Soda Lake Wildlife Management Area, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 105 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout.

Catherine's Landing

81 RV Sites, 18 Cottages

Catherine's Landing in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers 78 RV sites and 18 cottages across 400 acres with a mile of Lake Catherine shoreline, five minutes from downtown Hot Springs. Sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service and cable TV, take rigs to 65 feet, and include waterfront back-in categories, with a zip line, splash pad, and boat ramp on the property. Seventy-eight sites run in premium back-in and waterfront back-in configurations, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 65 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighteen cottages serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. Two policies to note: the resort enforces a ten-year age restriction on RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval if you send a photo in advance, and all holiday weekends require a three-night minimum. The 400 acres carry the recreation. A zip line runs the property, a splash pad and outdoor pool cover the swimming season, and a boat ramp and fishing pier give direct access to Lake Catherine's clear, Ouachita-fed water. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and fishing all run from camp, with bike rentals, a dog park, playground, clubhouse, pavilion, and pond besides. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs National Park is the smallest in the system and the most historically layered thermal spring community in North America, with Bathhouse Row, Oaklawn racing, and the Mountain Valley Spring heritage all five minutes away. The resort operates through the Arkansas season, with summer lake recreation and the Oaklawn racing calendar driving demand. Book holiday weekends well ahead, and confirm RV age approval before arrival if your coach is over ten years old.

Leisure Landing RV Park

33 RV Sites

Leisure Landing RV Park in Hot Springs, AR, offers 33 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 62 feet. Sites come in three sizes — small, medium, and large back-ins — all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi. Choosing your size at booking removes the guesswork. One charge to know about in advance: 50-amp rigs are billed an additional $4 per night on arrival, and that fee is not included in your online booking. The park is rated big rig friendly, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a clubhouse, a fitness center, a dump station, and RV storage. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Boat docks give guests direct access to Lake Hamilton for fishing and boating — this is one of the few genuinely lakeside RV parks in the city. Hot Springs combines thermal spring history, national park designation, horse racing, and an unexpectedly good food and art scene. Rates by site size are on the booking page. Budget the 50-amp surcharge separately when you compare rates.

Hot Springs Campground & RV Park

5 RV Sites

Hot Springs Campground in Hot Springs, AR, offers 5 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 32 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric. The 32-foot maximum is worth checking against your rig before you book — this campground suits smaller trailers and van conversions rather than coaches. Laundry, a clubhouse, a bathhouse, and WiFi cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. At five sites there's no recreation program, and none is needed: the campground sits beside the national park boundary, and guests spend their days in it. Hot Springs National Park is one of the oldest federally protected reserves in the country, established in 1832 as the Hot Springs Reservation — four decades before Yellowstone. Downtown Hot Springs and Bathhouse Row are five minutes away, with boating nearby. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Confirm your rig fits the 32-foot limit before reserving.

Treasure Isle RV Park

14 RV Sites, 1 Cabin

Treasure Isle RV Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers 14 RV sites and a cabin on Lake Hamilton, with 30 and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Four categories cover concrete back-ins and pull-throughs, gravel pull-throughs, and lakefront back-ins, with boat docks, a boat ramp, kayak rentals, and an outdoor pool on site. Fourteen sites run in concrete 30/50-amp back-in, concrete 30/50-amp pull-through, gravel 30/50-amp pull-through, and lakefront 30/50-amp back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lakefront category is worth requesting early. A cabin serves guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. A multi-night discount applies automatically — 10% off stays of 7 to 21 nights, excluding cabins and kayak rentals. Lake access is the draw. Boat docks, a boat ramp, boat storage, boat rentals, and kayak rentals put guests on Lake Hamilton directly, with fishing, boating, and swimming from the property and an outdoor pool as the managed alternative. A playground, gaga ball, and corn hole fill the rest. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs sits in Garland County on the Ouachita reservoir chain. Hot Springs National Park's Bathhouse Row, the Oaklawn racing calendar, and the city's arts scene are all close, and the thermal springs have made this a resort destination since the early twentieth century. Summer lake season and the Oaklawn meet drive demand. With 14 sites, reserve well ahead.

River Run Resort and Recreation

River Run Resort and Recreation sits along the Caddo River in Glenwood, Arkansas—a small resort of 15 full hookup RV sites in Pike County, 30 minutes southwest of Hot Springs, where the Caddo River's spring-fed current, clear water, and accessible float corridor have made it a destination for the Ouachita Mountain float trip tradition that defines Arkansas river camping at its most authentic. The Caddo's character — cold, relatively clear, spring-fed water in a corridor of mixed hardwood and pine — distinguishes it from the more turbid river systems of the Arkansas lowlands and gives float trips here the clarity and coolness that make them genuinely refreshing in the Arkansas summer. Fifteen sites with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer hookups provide the full hookup RV camping infrastructure, with WiFi connectivity supporting guests who maintain work or communication needs during their stay. River Run operates as a river outfitter alongside the campground, offering canoe, kayak, and tube rentals for Caddo River float trips — the combination of camping and outfitter services in a single property is the defining operational characteristic that makes River Run a functional all-in-one river camping destination rather than a campground where guests need to arrange float equipment separately. Paintball adds an on-property recreation option beyond the river activities, and dining options are accessible nearby in Glenwood. The Caddo River above DeGray Lake is recognized among Arkansas fly fishing and light tackle anglers as one of the more productive streams in the Ouachita Mountain region for smallmouth bass, spotted bass, and — during the March and April spawning run — white bass and hybrid striped bass that move up from the reservoir in concentrations that can make fishing exceptionally productive. The Caddo's pool-and-riffle structure in the middle reaches above Glenwood provides both float fishing access for anglers covering water by canoe or kayak and wade fishing opportunities at the gravel bars and deeper pools that structure the smallmouth population through the summer season. Lake Ouachita, north of the resort via Arkansas 84 and Arkansas 88, is the primary large-lake recreation resource within day-trip range — a 40,000-acre reservoir in the Ouachita National Forest with exceptionally clear water resulting from the low-nutrient geology of the Ouachita Mountains that sustains it, providing bass and trout fishing, scuba diving visibility rare for an Arkansas reservoir, and the surrounding Ouachita National Forest recreation infrastructure of camping, hiking, and ATV trails. Albert Pike Recreation Area in the Ouachita National Forest south of Glenwood on the Little Missouri River provides the whitewater canoe and kayak experience on the Little Missouri Falls Scenic Area in a National Forest setting. River Run Resort and Recreation operates through the Arkansas river recreation season, with the Caddo float trip peak from April through September when water temperatures are comfortable and flow conditions typically allow tubing and canoe navigation. The spring period from March through May provides the best combination of water conditions, comfortable temperatures, and productive fishing — particularly the white bass run in March and April. Hot Springs National Park, 30 minutes northeast, provides the historic bathhouse architecture of Bathhouse Row, the thermal springs that give the city its name and its original character as a nineteenth-century resort destination, and the Ouachita Trail's trailhead access for day hikes in the Zig Zag Mountains.

Ohana Celebration Park

9 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 5 Tent Sites

Ohana Celebration Park in Vilonia, Arkansas, offers nine RV sites, a cabin, and five tent sites on a lake in the central Arkansas countryside, with 30 and 50-amp full hookups on a big-rig-friendly layout. Premium lake-front and lake view pull-throughs join group RV sites, with a beach, boat and kayak rentals, and on-site dining. Nine sites run in group RV, lake view pull-through, and premium lake front pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lake front and lake view categories are worth requesting early. A cabin and five tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, personal mailboxes, restrooms, and a pavilion handle the practical side, and the group sites suit families or clubs traveling together. The lake carries the recreation. A beach gives swimming access, with boat and kayak rentals on site and fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats from the shoreline, plus inflatable water toys in season. Walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, community fire pit, and on-site dining fill the rest, with planned activities through the season and strong stargazing over the water. Pets are welcome. The park has been reborn since 2021 under the Mize family's stewardship from the historic Lester Flatt Memorial Park site, welcoming both short and extended stays. Vilonia sits in Faulkner County between Conway and Little Rock, with the Central Arkansas Karting Complex and Precision Paintball nearby. Summer lake season drives demand. With nine sites, reserve well ahead.

Wildwood Resort

Toledo Bend Reservoir straddles the Louisiana-Texas border for 185,000 acres of water that consistently ranks among the top bass fisheries in the United States, producing largemouth bass of a size and frequency that keeps professional anglers and recreational fishers returning season after season. Wildwood Resort occupies 40 acres of waterfront on the Louisiana side, offering lodging from full-hookup RV sites to cabins and multi-room lodges positioned to take full advantage of the reservoir's remarkable fishery and the dramatic piney-woods setting of Sabine County. The resort accommodates guests in two main configurations: 16 full-hookup RV sites with 30- and 50-amp electric service on back-in, 40-foot-friendly pads with security lighting, and 31 cabins and lodges ranging from intimate two-person retreats to large group units sleeping up to 24. The lodge options run from simple cabin accommodations to resort-style suites with full kitchens, making Wildwood a practical destination for fishing groups of any size. Three swimming pools serve guests during the warmer months, and a gift and tackle shop on the property handles last-minute gear and bait without requiring a drive to town. The fishing infrastructure at Wildwood is among the property's strongest attributes. A 300-foot fishing pier, lighted for night fishing and partially covered, extends from the shoreline into Toledo Bend's productive near-shore waters — an excellent option for guests who want consistent access without launching a boat. A private boat launch gives those with their own craft direct reservoir access, while three separate stocked ponds on the property provide catch-and-release fishing that doesn't require a Louisiana fishing license. Paddle boards, kayaks, and paddle bikes are available to all resort guests at no additional charge, making casual water exploration accessible regardless of whether guests brought a boat. Toledo Bend Family Adventure Park, directly across the road from the resort, adds a land-based entertainment component to the trip that extends the property's appeal well beyond fishing. The park includes water attractions, zip lines, and family activities that serve as natural afternoon programming after a morning on the water. Zwolle, the nearest town, is best known for the Tamale Fiesta, an annual October celebration of the area's Spanish and Adaes Indian heritage that has grown into one of the most distinctive local festivals in Louisiana, with tamale preparation competitions, music, and cultural programming. Bald eagles work the reservoir's edge in winter months, and the surrounding Sabine River country offers additional wildlife viewing throughout the year. Toledo Bend's bass fishing season never truly closes, but peak periods run February through May for pre-spawn and spawn activity and October through November in the fall feeding period. Summer fishing is productive in the early morning hours before heat sets in, and the resort's pools provide afternoon relief during the hottest weeks of July and August. The Tamale Fiesta weekend in October fills area lodging well in advance — book early if that event is on the itinerary. Winter is the season for bald eagle watching and quieter reservoir conditions, with cabin rates at their most accessible and fewer boats competing for the best water.
