Looking for good campgrounds in NE Arkansas or SE Missouri

Not exactly NE Arkansas, but we love Heber Springs COE park on Greers Ferry Lake. Just a little over 3 hours from Memphis.

In SE MO there is are some really nice state parks like Sam A Baker, Hawn SP, and Meramec SP. There are also other great parks that don't allow camping such as Elephant Rock, Johnson Shut-Ins, and Castlewood. But if your camping near them, do yourself a favor and check them out.

Yes LBTL is very nice - Piney is our favorite, but getting a nice waterfront site can be hard due to the semi-permanent crowd the move from non reservable site to site mid week at the max intervals - they've got the system figured out. Paris Landing is nice too.

Thanks all for the tips, gives me a lot too look up!

Columbus Belmont SP in Kentucky is on the Mississippi River on a high bluff. Very interesting civil war site. I think they have some FHU sites. I have not stayed there but have driven thru the CG. Petit Jean Mountain SP in Arkansas is very nice. It is not that far west of Little Rock and not far off I 40. We have stayed there and want to go back. The fall would be very nice time but think you will have to reserve early. Hot Springs area in Arkansas has several nice CGs. We stayed at Katherine's Landing and really enjoyed it. Had a site on the river. I assume you have visited Land Between the Lakes on the Tennessee/Kentucky border. Several campgrounds both state, COE and private.

Dub Patton Recreation Area is about 35 or 40 miles South of Memphis. We have not camped there but most C. O. E. parks are nice.
