About

Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area is Arkansas' largest state park, spanning 12,170 acres of Ozark landscape along Beaver Lake's southern shore. The park offers 11 primitive backcountry campsites divided between two trail systems. The Pigeon Roost Trail sites (5 campsites) require a 4-mile hike and are set in heavily wooded terrain, with sites 1, 3, 4, and 5 offering lake views when leaves are off the trees. The Monument Trail Karst Loop sites (6 campsites) are accessible by mountain bike or hiking approximately 3.5 miles from the trailhead near the visitor center, featuring unique metal structures for hammock hanging and easy access to Beaver Lake. All campsites are primitive and remote, equipped with tent pads (ranging from single 8x8 pads to multiple pads per site), fire rings with grills, and lantern hooks. Campsites can accommodate up to 8 people maximum. The Karst Loop area provides one shared toilet for all six sites, while Pigeon Roost campsites have no toilet facilities. Campers must pack out all trash and practice Leave No Trace principles. The park features 54 miles of diverse trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, and is the only Arkansas state park that allows regulated hunting.
