Great memory - I went here with my dad when I was about 12 and it was an adventure- we had a great time- no diamonds but plenty of other amazing stones. A dirty, muddy, fantastic good time! Kids will love it.

4/3/2012 10:47:57 AM Lost Valley State Park

Need to rebuild bridge at park entrance - I have visited this park in the past and it is an amazingly beautiful place. Unfortunatley, the bridge over the creek at the entrance was washed out in 2011 and not rebuilt. My family and I were unable to cross the creek due to high water in mid-March of 2012.

1/17/2012 Saint Francis National Forest

Now Mississippi River State Park - Arkansas State Parks began management of Bear Creek Lake Rec Area in St Francis National Forest, and it is now called Mississippi River State Park. 14 class AAA lake front campsites with water, 50 amp electric and sewer are located on this beautiful lake south of Marianna, surrounded by the National Forest. Primitive camping is also near by. Great staff, great location. They really take care of you.

12/14/2011 Arkansas Post National Memorial by j. carter watts

Where Ghosts of the Past Still Live - The park is beautiful and very well kept. The staff are helpful and talkative. Easy to approach. The battlefield only shows part of where the battle of Fort Hindman was fought. The river has claimed the fort and it has changed course so it is difficult to really get a grasp of what happened inside the fort. The battle for the rifle pits is easier to understand as it still exists. I would like to see more signs like those as Vicksburg that show where the different units were located and a description of what happened in the pits. I have been at the post at night and even during the day you can still feel the people who lived there. Winter is the best time to go because being in woods ticks can latch onto you and have me. It still is wonderful place and very peaceful.

10/24/2011 Withrow Springs State Park by Warrior53 from Texas

Fantastic facilities - Clean, modern, superior RV sites! Level, paved pads, with additional finished tent pads. Bath house is clean, modern, in excellent condition.

6/6/2011 Wapanocca National Wildlife Refuge by bigred150

Great Fishing Lake - I have been fishing this Lake ever since I was a Kid. I am 47 now and the lake has seen its down falls. I will say that the lake is coming back. I went this past weekend and caught some nice bream. I am really impressed by the size of the bream. This lake is coming back. My hat is off to those who have worked so hard to bring this lake back for family enjoyment. On hot days you can get into the Cypress trees in the shade and stay out of the sun. Nice cool breeze blows through the Cypress Trees to make fishing comfortable. Bring plenty of crickets because you will need them.

5/9/2011 Lost Valley State Park

3/24/2011 Pinnacle Mountain State Park by Jerry Meeks

Come back to nature - Marvelous trails from rocky peaks to wetland strolls, magnificent vista, great interpretive programs - PMSP has it all except for overnight facilities - but it is just outside Little Rock

3/24/2011 Buffalo River State Wildlife Management Area by Jerry Meeks

MAGNIFICENT TIME - Visited to see the Elk and we were not disappointed. Even saw some trumpeter swans as an added benefit - The Education Center in Boxley run by AGFC is outstanding

8/23/2010 Bull Shoals State Park by David Harrington

Heaven in Arkansas - I have been camping at Bull Shoals State Park each year for past 17 yrs. Without question, it is the nicest State Park in Arkansas, and for trout fishing,excellent camp grounds, with a Park Staff second to none, one of the top spots in all the US!

8/21/2010 Arkansas Post National Memorial by Michael Simons

It was GREAT! - I grew up the Road at Clarendon and this was the first visit with my wife. The State and National parks staff are very friendly and the park is beautiful.

7/13/2010 Lake Ouachita State Park

Smell your neighbor! - The campsites at Lake Ouachita State Park are too close to each other. Expect side by side campsites if you visit. When reserving make sure you check which side of your camper has the power cable and specify that you need a site that has the power to match your camper. The lake is great but their campsites are not worth the price. And there are plenty of other places nearby to stay.

7/6/2010 Village Creek State Park by One Camper

Family Campground - Great staff, lot of outdoor activities - swimming, hiking, tennis, basketball, boating etc.. watch for the mosquitos.

6/27/2010 White River National Wildlife Refuge

6/16/2010 Lake Ouachita State Park by Dondean

One of our favorite lakes - Miles and miles of clean water, almost 1,000 miles shoreline and 200 islands are undeveloped. Either you stop your boat in middle of the lake for swimming, or on shore for picnic, they are all great.

6/16/2010 Bull Shoals State Park by Dawn in Arkansas

The best showers/restrooms and very clean. Hard to beat this beautiful place. My grandchildren never want to leave.

1/3/2010 Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge by Shenee Gilbert

If you love nature, this is a must see!! - My husband ans I went to photograph bald eagles and we were not disappointed! We seen so much wildlife! We will be putting Holla Bend on our go to list of places we love to go to. The restrooms provided were very clean and we felt safe using them. The entrance fee of $4 is very reasonable. The map is easy to use and the roads were well maintained. There are many trails to explore but due to a back injury my husband was unable to make the trek on this trip, so the drive-through ease of the park was perfect. And we spotted and photographed our eagle right from the car!! We will be back many times and highly recommend everyone of all ages and abilities to go to the park!!

11/1/2009 White Oak Lake State Park by Txcowgirl

Exceptional - We stayed in our RV with our grandkids and their parents, who tent camped on our site. The park staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The park was very clean and well maintained. It was peaceful and family friendly. The parents took a long ride on the bike trail, and really enjoyed it. This was one of my favorite spots.

5/27/2009 Ouachita National Forest by Sue Girl

Absolute heaven! - Of course I camp with less facilities and that means less people around... Most love their amenities. I grew up camping around here and I love it. The road is hard on tires though. Testimony to two flat tires in two years lol...

Totally wicked, dude!!! - cool

5/4/2009 Bull Shoals State Park by Kim Merryman

Our FAVORITE Park! - We live in west central Illinois and try to travel down to Bull Shoals state park for camping at least once every 2 years. With 4 children it is hard to find an inexpensive vacation that has something for everyone, Bull Shoals is the perfect camping/boating/fishing area with wonderfully friendly and helpful employees, (especially the Dock) exceptional public restrooms/shower houses - plus beautiful scenery with many sites and attractions close by that makes it a perfect vactation spot for us!

4/30/2009 Queen Wilhelmina State Park by Oakleyjim

2/24/2009 Lake Fort Smith State Park by Hall Family

Great Place for Family - We LOVE Lake Ft. Smith. The pool is wonderful, but it would be nice if guests staying in the park were given a discount. All of the park is extremely clean. Full hook-ups and paved sites are great. Lots to do.

2/18/2009 Old Davidsonville State Park by Anna Nichols

Very nice family park - Very quiet most of the time. It is a place you can bring your children and spend all day walking the trails, picknicking,fishing and observing the wild life. We used to visit often when my children were small and had many a great adventure It also provides a nice play area and a area to play basketball.

2/18/2009 Queen Wilhelmina State Park by Kathy

Fabulous!!! You have to go! - We have been here 4 times and loved each time. We stayed in the lodge and ate in the restaurant. The food was very good. If you are looking for a relaxing, fun atmosphere this is it.

2/4/2009 Toltec Mounds State Park by Rick

Worth a visit. - An interesting place to spend an hour or so. Not worth making a special trip for, but worth combining with other stops.

1/6/2009 Devils Den State Park by kmac

A Classic - Must See - They wont be making campgrounds like this any more. This is one of the great, originals. Clean, well maintained, lots to do and see for all ages. Outdoor pool, river-stream (not a full-blown, dangerous river), tons of great trails - and the caves-rocks are incredible! Paddle boats, awesome playground equipment, restaurant, store, cabins, multiple camping areas.

12/18/2008 Lost Valley State Park

11/28/2008 De Gray State Park by vicki jordan

Beautiful state park - We absolutely loved this park. We camped there for almost a week and enjoyed every minute of it. It is one of the most beautiful places I have seen.

Happy Trails my friends...

10/19/2008 Mount Nebo State Park by Megan

Good for day trips - This is a great park, we have small kids and we are able to spend the day there, If you hike this is a GREAT park... many trails to choose and the difficulty varys with each. But camping on the other hand I was disapointed. Perfect day time spot....

10/1/2008 Poison Springs State Park by SASSYBOOP

ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PARKS FOR HISTORY - IT IS STILL A VERY RUSTIC AREA. HAS NOT BEEN TAMPERED WITH. THE PROPERTY IS THE SAME AS IT WAS IN 1864.

9/13/2008 Lake Fort Smith State Park

Amazing - The state park @ Lake Ft Smith is absolutely amazing! Everyone who loves the outdoors should go. The only problem is the directions given on the website are terrible. Although all signs on I -540 say get off at Mountainburg, that is a waste of time. The best way to go is to take the Chester Exit, then go east about 1/2 mile to highway 71, then go north(left) about 2miles to the entrance of the park. This will save you 10-15 minutes.

6/22/2008 Lake Fort Smith State Park by M.Fisher

Not kid friendly - Park needs better play area and bicycle area. Area by pool needs shade. Not for groups with kids, it is as senic as the whole boston mtn. Area .

Love the caves - I have been going here since I was a child, and it is still my favorite place to go and just get away from it all.
