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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

from $48/night

Beaverfork Lake RV Resort

26 RV Sites

Beaverfork Lake RV Resort in Conway, AR, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites are described by where they sit, which is more useful than a tier name: back-in near lake, shorter back-in near lake, pull-through near lake, pull-through with lakeview, and pull-through in the upper section. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a snack bar, and a clubhouse cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park on the grounds. Boat docks and kayak rentals put guests on Beaverfork Lake for fishing, boating, and paddling, with pickleball on the property and cornhole golf — a resort original — running Wednesday through Friday afternoons into the evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, with extended summer hours. Conway sits about 30 minutes northwest of Little Rock, a growing college town, with the resort two miles off I-40 on the quiet side of the lake. Rates and availability are on the booking page. The lakeview pull-throughs go first on summer weekends.

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.

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.

Ouachita Campground at Edendell

15 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites, 2 Lodges

Ouachita Campground at Edendell in Oden, AR, offers 15 full-hookup back-in RV sites, 2 lodges, and 10 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet.

The campground is rated big rig friendly, open all year, and offers EV charging — rare in the Ouachitas. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, and kayak rentals cover the rest. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. Walk-ins are welcome but reservations are recommended, especially for the guest house. River and creek frontage, a pond, walking trails, hiking, swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, birding, and dark-sky stargazing fill the forested grounds, with off-roading and boating nearby. Oden sits between Mena and the Talimena Scenic Drive on one side and Mount Ida — the self-proclaimed Crystal Mining Capital of the World — on the other, in the geographic heart of the Ouachita Mountains. Rates for sites, lodges, and tent spots are on the booking page. Deluxe mountain view sites book first.

Mockingbird Mountain Resort

1 RV Site, 2 Cabins

Near Greers Ferry Lake in Edgemont, Arkansas—in Cleburne County in the Ozark Mountains where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Greers Ferry Lake impoundment of the Little Red River created the 31,000-acre reservoir and its clear, cold hypolimnetic release that established the Little Red River tailwater below Greers Ferry Dam as one of the premier trophy brown trout fisheries in North America—Mockingbird Mountain Resort provides 50 full hookup RV sites with six pull-through positions, three cabins sleeping up to four guests, and a Lodge sleeping eight to ten, with fully equipped kitchens, panoramic deck views of Greers Ferry Lake, free WiFi, self-serve laundry, and on-site staff support in the nature-focused mountain resort five minutes from the marinas, boat launches, swimming spots, and restaurants that Greers Ferry Lake's recreation infrastructure makes the defining amenity of the western shore. The cabins and Lodge with kitchen and lake-view decks, the five-minute marina proximity, and the Greers Ferry tailwater trout fishery within minutes define why Mockingbird Mountain is a destination resort rather than a highway overnight stop. Fifty full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections in a combination of pull-through and back-in configurations serve the RV camping market on the wooded Ozark Mountain property. Six pull-through sites specifically accommodate the longer RV configurations. Three cabins sleeping up to four guests each and a Lodge sleeping eight to ten provide the fully equipped enclosed accommodation for the non-RV visitor or the group that needs the cabin's communal kitchen, comfortable living space, and the covered deck with panoramic Greers Ferry Lake views that the Cleburne County hillside position provides. Fully equipped kitchens in both cabins and the Lodge give the extended-stay guest the self-catering option. Free WiFi, self-serve laundry, and the RV storage capability serve the practical amenity requirements. Long-term RV sites starting at $400 per month serve the seasonal and semi-permanent resident who chooses the Greers Ferry Lake address for the extended warm-season stay. Greers Ferry Lake's 775 miles of shoreline—one of the longest shoreline-to-surface-area ratios of any Ozark reservoir—provides the clear, cove-rich freshwater lake environment that watersports enthusiasts, bass anglers, and the scuba diving community that the lake's 100-foot visibility (among the clearest lakes in Arkansas) has developed as a dedicated user group. The lake's clarity results from the combination of the dolomite geology filtering the impounded water and the limited agricultural runoff from the Ozark Mountain watershed. The Little Red River tailwater immediately below Greers Ferry Dam is world-renowned among fly anglers for the trophy brown trout that the cold tailwater environment sustains year-round—the river holds the world record brown trout catch at 40 pounds, 4 ounces, and consistently produces fish in the 10-to-20-pound class that the local guide services target with streamers and midges in the specific water column that the cold bottom-release temperature creates year-round regardless of season. Mockingbird Mountain Resort is open year-round in the Ozark Mountain climate. The spring and fall represent the most temperate camping seasons, with summer bringing the lake recreation peak and winter providing the tailwater trout fishing that cold-water species specifically require. Reserve the Lodge for the family reunion, book the RV site early for lake-access summer weeks, and let Greers Ferry's world-record brown trout water and the Ozark hillside views earn the Arkansas mountain lake resort experience that the Little Red River below the dam makes uniquely significant.
