Cool Place in Arkansas

cool, as in moderate temperatures? NO

Queen Wilhelmina state park near Mena is in a mountain range.
They have full hook ups, large lodge ( to oPen in summer)

Always a good breeze, picnic tables. clean restrooms,antique
train to view. We enjoyed our stay there.

Thanks to all.

It will be hard to find a cool place in Arkansas in July or August.

Petit Jean State Park is great but the water hookup at our site could not be reached with a 25 foot hose. IMHO take a 50 footer with you.

We love Lake Ouachita State Park. Reasonable boat rentals right there in the park marina, beautiful clear, cool water, and you can go into Hot Springs for some entertainment if you get tired of the lake.

Petit Jean and Mt. Magazine.

I live within the Tri-Mount area (Nebo, Magazine & Petit Jean) in Yell County. For the summer the words cool and Arkansas would be an oxymoron sentence, like jumbo shrimp, short wait, big baby. It isn't going to happen. It does not cool down at night. That includes the temperature AND humidity. If you come prepared for that there are many places for relaxation and enjoyment.

Arkansas is hot in the summer. Coolest place could be the Dam Park at Bull Shoals Lake in the northern part of the state. Great trout fishing there year round due to cold water being released from the dam. That also cools the valley where the campground is located.
