RV Camping near Glenwood, Arkansas

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.

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.

Sites come in three categories — standard 20/30/50-amp, pull-through 20/30/50-amp, and pondside 20/30/50-amp — plus ADA-accessible sites, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a fire pit. Every site takes all three amp services, so there's no adapter guesswork, and at 75 feet the pull-throughs handle long coaches without unhitching. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a general store cover the basics, and pets are welcome with a dog park on the grounds. The pond is the centerpiece for fishing, with walking trails through the property and horseshoes and corn hole for the evening. Hiking, biking, birding, golf, and wine tasting are all close by. Broken Bow sits in the Ouachita Mountain pine forest of McCurtain County, near Broken Bow Lake's 14,000 acres, Beavers Bend State Park, and the Hochatown district.

Little Rock RV Park

24 RV Sites

Little Rock RV Park in North Little Rock, AR, offers 24 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 78 feet. Sites come in two overnight categories, perimeter and pull-through, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. The park is rated big rig friendly and the 78-foot maximum means a long coach with a toad fits on a pull-through without unhitching — the whole design here is built around getting in late, plugging in, and getting out early. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. There's no recreation program, and the park doesn't pretend otherwise. What it offers is a clean, level, full-hookup site with easy access, which is exactly what a travel night calls for. North Little Rock sits across the Arkansas River from Little Rock, putting the state capital, the river trail system, and the interstate corridor all within a few minutes of the gate. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Because the park runs on overnight traffic, calling ahead on a busy travel weekend is worth the minute.

The park is new, rated big rig friendly, and the 73-foot maximum with sites sized and leveled for modern coaches is the whole pitch — pull in, hook up, stay level. Laundry, a clubhouse, and a dump station are on the property, and pets are welcome. There's no recreation program, but the surrounding country carries its weight: Bill J. Barber Park, Cedar Lake Recreation Area, two golf courses, and Cavanal Hill — billed as the world's highest hill — are all close by. Poteau sits in Le Flore County in the Ouachita Mountain foothills, just off Highway 112, within easy reach of the town's restaurants and services. Rates and availability are on the booking page.

27 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.

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.

Rollin Oaks Park

20 RV Sites, 226 Tent Sites

Rollin Oaks Park in Center Ridge, Arkansas, offers back-in RV sites and extensive primitive tent camping in the wooded river valley country of Conway County, with rigs accepted to 30 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. This is a nature-first, 55-plus community that prioritizes the Arkansas woodland setting over amenity infrastructure — and prices accordingly. Back-in sites accommodate rigs to 30 feet, which suits smaller trailers and vans rather than large coaches. Primitive tent camping makes up the bulk of the property's capacity. A dump station and firewood are available on site. Guests should arrive largely self-contained; the infrastructure here is deliberately minimal. On-site programming is simple and traditional — a playground, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, and seasonal special events, which is what family primitive camping has always been built around. Hiking runs from the property, and the dark rural sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. Pets are welcome. Supplies require a short drive, so stock up before arrival. Center Ridge Grocery and Quick Stop are each 6.7 miles out with food, drink, gas, and ice, the Dollar General in Center Ridge is 6.2 miles, and Birdtown Grocery is 7.4 miles. Conway County sits where the Ouachita foothills roll north toward the Arkansas River valley, in the rural interior that has kept the unhurried character larger campgrounds systematically remove. Petit Jean Mountain — among the most scenically spectacular and historically significant sites in Arkansas — is within practical range. The park serves the Arkansas camping season, with spring and fall delivering the most comfortable conditions for primitive camping. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

The Barn RV Park

36 RV Sites

The Barn RV Park in El Dorado, AR, offers 36 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet.

The park is rated big rig friendly, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a barn on the property. Pets are welcome. It's owned and operated by longtime El Dorado residents, and the maintenance standard reflects that. Picnicking and genuinely dark south Arkansas sky for stargazing are the on-site recreation. El Dorado sits in the oil country of Union County, with restaurants and shopping a short distance away, three golf courses nearby, and the Murphy Arts District downtown hosting concerts and events through the year. Rates and availability are on the booking page. MAD event weekends fill the park — reserve ahead when something's on the calendar.

Lost Lake RV Park - Atlanta, TX

32 RV Sites

Lost Lake RV Park in Atlanta, TX, offers 32 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 48 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric — a simple, clean setup with no categories to decipher. A bathhouse with showers and a clubhouse are on the property, and pets are welcome. The pull-thrus mean a travel night doesn't require unhitching. The park's lake is its centerpiece, and the setting is quiet piney-woods country rather than a resort with a schedule. Atlanta sits in Cass County in the Piney Woods of East Texas, in the upper Sabine River watershed where longleaf and loblolly pine define the landscape and Lake o' the Pines and Wright Patman Lake draw anglers. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Ask about weekly and monthly rates if you're staying on.

Yoder Outpost RV Campground

5 RV Sites

Yoder Outpost RV Campground in Stuttgart, AR, offers 5 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a fire pit. Pets are welcome. Five sites with full hookups and all three amp services is a small, well-equipped operation rather than a resort. Picnicking is the on-site recreation, and the surrounding country supplies the rest. Stuttgart sits at 803 South Yoder Road on the edge of a city that calls itself the Duck and Rice Capital of the World and means it. The Arkansas Grand Prairie around it is one of the most intensively farmed rice landscapes in North America — and, in winter, one of the great waterfowl destinations anywhere. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Duck season fills these five sites completely, so book far ahead if you're coming to hunt.
