Just returned from a short trip to Petit Jean SP in Arkansas. It is a beautiful place. The hiking trails were wonderful. Camp sites were clean and spacious. I would like to make another trip there someday. It was also the first time I was used my inverter to power my outside fridge while on the road and it worked great.

I am in total agreement with you. It is a very beautiful park with great camping facilities.

X2 on Petit Jean State Park near Morrilton... Been there a few times myself.... Love the Arkansas River area along that stretch or the country side south of I40... Many camping location here...Was stationed at LRAFB back in the 60s and ran the Missle sites all North of I40 doing Radio Maintenance. We all found out real quick you could find a new fishing spot within 30 minutes of any direction you wanted to look haha... All of us Air Force Radio Maintenance types carried fishing gear and always took the long way back to the base when done with our maintenance at the Missle Silos haha...Roy Ken

X3. Was there for the first time last year and loved it. Planning to go back. And the antique auto museum just down the road was a great extra.
