FYI
The site we were in had the water on the opposite side than what you normally find and since we only carried a 25 foot hose we could not hookup to the water.

We toured Arkansas for a month last fall, state parks only. You won't go wrong with any of them. Best I have seen.

Around Lake Ouachita are COE CG's plus the SP. The COE does have some sites with elec. and water but no sewer hookups. Dump stations though. Nice settings right on the water. I don't if you're looking for mountain bike trails, but the LOViT trail is really fun with segments from very easy to pretty stiff climbs. If you camp at Tomkins Bends, you can ride right from the CG with a variety of options. trail map

Lake Catherine State Park in Hot Springs. Our favorite.

Our favorite is Lake Ouchita State Park outside Hot Springs, AR. Nice full hook up in one loop with sites on the largest and cleanest lake in the state. Reservations are required. You are approximately 20 minutes outside of town.

Eureka Springs or Hot Springs are both small but quaint towns in Arkansas that are fun to visit and have lots of campgrounds close. Eureka Springs has COE campground - Hot Springs has Lake Catherine State Park or Lake Ouachita State Park are both very nice parks. I like to visit Eureka Springs better but you cant beat Arkansas State Parks where ever you go.

Check out Petit Jean State Park. Some full hookups on the lake. Very pretty park.

Stayed once at Crater of Diamonds SP and it was interesting. You can dig for diamonds and it is close to a very quaint town.
