Camping
Pitch Your Tent. Park Your RV. Camp Under the Arkansas Stars.
Camping in an Arkansas State Park brings you closer to the state’s most breathtaking landscapes. Watch the sunrise over the cliffs at Petit Jean State Park, hike through hardwood forests at Devil’s Den or fall asleep beside the quiet waters of Lake Ouachita. From the peaks of Mount Magazine to the clear streams of the Ozark National Forest, every park offers its own mix of scenery, recreation and relaxation.
Arkansas State Parks feature more than 2,000 campsites ranging from primitive tent areas to full-service RV pads with water, electric and sewer hookups. Many parks, like DeGray Lake Resort and Lake Catherine, offer lakeside camping with swimming and boating access, while Mount Nebo and Woolly Hollow provide scenic overlooks and shaded forest sites. Campgrounds include clean restrooms, hot showers, picnic tables and fire rings. Group camping areas are available at select parks, and most locations are pet-friendly.
