Campsite: Maumelle Park

Our fifth time camping here and it never disappoints. Sites are large and well spaced. Some on river, some in the trees. Near a large marina if that’s important to you, and a boat launch in the park. May pavilions and day use areas are available. Water is good. Restrooms and showers old but adequate. No hot water in the sinks tho. Several dump stations throughout the park. But it seems like the dumpsters are ALWAYS overflowing with bags and litter on the ground — they’re just not dumped often enough.

Campsite: Samuel W. Wahl Rec Area

This place was convenient for our overnight camping stop but way overpriced for a one-nighter. $30 a night for camping is doable but another $30 for daily entry fees is piracy. The campsites themselves are oddly configured. You’ll scratch your head to figure out how to get your RV level and close to the power box. The water equally bizarre. Maybe that’s why we’re the only campers here? We won’t be back in any case.

Campsite: Sandy Ridge Camping

We discovered this campground 4 years while staying at neighboring Martin Dias State Park. We have just come back and stayed here for a couple nights. It’s a great place with spacious and generously-spaced campsites. There are 75+ campsites all with power and water. Many are waterfront. Loops are separated by up to one mile so check them all out. We’re now camped in a loop of 10 or so campsites and we’re the only campers in it. We like that you can hike to Martin Dias State Park and hike trails there. Wildlife sightings — white egrets, blue herons but no gators yet. It’s been a long time since I’ve been a fisherman but this place looks fishy to me and it looks like you tie up your boat right at your campsite for half of these sites. Only downside — this is a National Public Radio desert — there is not an NPR station to be found on the radio dial.

Campsite: Sanford-Yake Campground — Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

There are 10 reservable campsites and 51 non reservable campsites in this campground perched on a bluff over Lake Meredith. The reservables have electricity and water and are nearer to the toilet/showers. The first-come sites have much more charm and are free! I’m thinking that anytime you camp here, tho, you have to reconcile yourself to wind and there’s no escape. Another quirk — most of the sites have giant fire rings.
