About

Crowleys Ridge State Park Campground occupies 291 acres atop a distinctive erosional remnant that rises 100 to 200 feet above the fertile Delta plains of eastern Arkansas. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933 as one of Arkansas's six original state parks, the campground retains its rustic character through preserved native log and stone structures. The campground offers 26 sites total: 18 Class B sites with 30-amp electric and water hookups suitable for RVs, and 8 tent-only sites with shared water spigots. All campers have access to a centralized bathhouse with restrooms and hot showers, plus a dump station. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings. One site is ADA accessible. Recreation centers on spring-fed lakes, including a 31-acre fishing lake and a 3.5-acre swimming beach open Memorial Day through Labor Day (Wednesday-Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., lifeguarded). The park rents solo and tandem kayaks. Five hiking trails explore the unique hardwood and pine forests of Crowleys Ridge, including the 1.25-mile Dancing Rabbit Trail and interpretive nature trails. The park also features picnic areas, pavilions for group gatherings, and interpretive programs available year-round.
