About

Maple Flat Group Campground is a primitive camping facility situated within Mississippi River State Park's Bear Creek Lake Recreational Area near Marianna, Arkansas. This rustic campground caters specifically to groups looking for a secluded outdoor experience where the Mississippi River, Crowley's Ridge, and the Arkansas Delta converge. The campground provides basic amenities including a group grill, picnic tables, and a vault toilet. There is no water or electricity available on-site, so campers must come prepared with their own water supply and be self-sufficient. The primitive nature of Maple Flat makes it perfect for organized groups, scouts, or families who want to disconnect and enjoy the natural surroundings without modern conveniences. As part of Mississippi River State Park, campers at Maple Flat have access to the park's broader amenities and activities, including Bear Creek Lake, hiking trails, the Bear Creek Nature Trail, and the nearby swim beach at Beaver Point Day-Use Area. The park's location offers endless adventures through hardwood forests and access to the St. Francis National Forest.
