If you are up for an adventure and life on the open road, you have probably discovered the joy of RVing. When you are looking for a weekend getaway, an extended vacation, or you are interested in “full-timing,” RVs can provide many of the comforts of home.
Arkansas has nearly 250 public camping areas scattered throughout our state parks, Corp of Engineers parks, national parks, national forests, wildlife refuges, wildlife management areas and municipal parks. Accommodations range from primitive camping with no drive-in access to premium sites designed with RVs in mind that offer water, electrical and sewer hookups. Most of our state’s public camping areas limit your stay to 14 consecutive days, making them a less than ideal choice for full-time families looking for a place to settle for weeks or months at a time.
If you are looking for friendly service, great perks and all the bells and whistles, stay at one of Arkansas’s privately-owned RV parks. Scattered across the state, you can find parks that offer riverfront sites, swimming pools, laundry facilities, organized activities and more. Stay a night or two or enjoy long-term living with monthly and long-term rates.
