Each site is beautifully designed

This is one of my VERY favorite parks to park our RV at and call home for a couple of weeks. We travel full time so I spend lots of time in parks from coast to coast. The view of the river is spectacular, especially if you are lucky enough to get a front row space. The well maintained roads allow for lots of opportunity to walk or ride bikes. The bathrooms are a bit aged but always clean. And talk about a great location. It's tucked far away from road noise but close enough to find anything you want or need within a short drive. We never miss Whole Hog BBQ while in town and shop at the Kroger store just a few miles away. It's too bad there is the typical 14 day limitation or I would just stay here longer and more often. Guess this is the part where I should be happy to share with others - but who Really likes to share their favorite things :)

The energy here is very conflicted and confused. The nature scenery is gorgeous, relaxing and uplifting but the park staff customer services are atrocious. I showed up around 8:40pm and They said there were no fees for camping and staying there at night. Then the next day I have a park ranger wake me up just to tell me I have to get up and pay 24$ A DAY FOR CAMPING IN A TENT WITH NO AMENITIES!! Wtf. Heck no! I tried to argue the injustice only to be told to call a park boss that wasn't helpful at all. I left angry that I had spent 35$ on a taxi cab just to be rushed out of the park the next day. I feel bad for the energy here, it's not treated horribly but it could be treated better. I feel like a Catholic priest and a shaman nature lover need to bring peace and harmony back to the wildlife here. And the park staff needs to get fired.

Our site with River in background.

Wonderful campground near Little Rock. We always stay here when visiting family. Clean, spacious sites make this one of our favorites anywhere. The only drawback is sites do not have sewer. This makes for a little hassle on an extended stay, but the conveniently located dump stations help alleviate that issue. Highly recommend.

If you look close you can see the river...now we know to book a site on the river!

We took our 3 kids on a 2 week road trip across the country in July and stayed here while passing through. This was easily one of the most beautiful campgrounds we visited! We only stayed a night but were able to plug in and cool off, cook dinner, take a walk down by the river, let the kids play in the grass with a friendly cat (?) and just enjoy being outdoors. We were on a small loop all by ourselves so it was very quiet. Site was only water and electric hook-up, but they let you dump grey water in the grass/woods if you have a hose. There are also several dump stations that we saw. Easy in, easy out with a pull through spot, but after seeing the view we now wish we'd picked a site on the water! Grab a riverside spot...it's beautiful!

Margaret Clark Adventure Park is the smaller of the two playground areas that my girls discovered…read moreinside Riverfront Park in Little Rock, AR. This was a bit smaller compared to the other one. In fact it didn't interest my big kids all that much. There wasn't a "can we go back to the other park?" It was, "we're going back to the other one. Bye, Mom." Lol. Just a reminder parents, please teach your kids to pick up their trash right before you leave. It's good for them and helps us all enjoy the park much more. Plus the Arkansas River is just a few yards away.

This is a neat like sub-park/play area located in Riverfront Park, just off of the main section of…read morethe Vogel Schwartz Sculpture Garden. It is named after Margaret Clark in appreciation of her longtime commitment to children and her interest in Riverfront Park. Her husband William E. Clark, has a wetlands park, down the street from this one by the Clinton Library, that is dedicated to him as well. It is very nice and welcoming. You know you have found the park when you see the twin sheep sculptures, Bliss and Glee, which are the work of Giuseppe Palumb. The park also has a hippopotamus sculpture named Roundbottom, that serves double duty as a bench. It is the work of Tim Cherry. The park opened in 2018 and still looks relatively new. It was designed for children ages 2-5 and is on artificial grass and mud free rubber surface. The park appears to have a nature theme and has a bank of traditional/toddler swings, rocks to climb, percussion instruments, bridges, slides, stand and spin, and a spinning cone climber. The slides are small and there is not much there as far as equipment goes, so I do not see the park entertaining kids much older than 5. It is a nice park though and well maintained. I have no issue with them catering to pre-school kids because sometimes the littles get over run over and pushed to the side by the big kids at other parks. This is not a destination park, but it is nice spot to visit if you are in the area with little kids and some time to kill.

Peabody Park - 7.22.2025

Peabody Park is a playground area inside Riverfront Park in Little Rock, AR…read more This was the first area my 12 and 10-year-olds wanted to navigate. They loved it. Admittedly we were all bummed the splash pad in this particular area was still inoperable (according the Tank G.'s 6.20.2023 review). However, walk a bit further to the east and there is another one. The inclusion of the splash pad in this flatter area was quite the boffo decision on city official's part as the July 2025 heat proved to be highly intense. I didn't allow my dog to run through it as there were many other kids including my daughters enjoying the splashes of cold water, but she acted like she wanted to. She's normally little Miss "Oh No the neighbor's sprinklers are going to spray me." Lol. I didn't take photos of this park because there were so many kids there. The humidity mixed with the Arkansas heat was a bit more bearable with the trees and shade structures nearby. I appreciate the tube slides (since they're enclosed) so the kids don't burn their bums sliding down... Lol. And thank goodness I had our dog with me because otherwise I might have needed rescuing much like this recent News Nation headline: "Connecticut man, 43, rescued after 'wedged' in playground slide." Knocked off a star due to many areas such as the playground surface being worn out and being quite the salient eyesores.

This park, billed as "An Adventure Playground" is located in Riverfront Park just off of the…read moreJunction Bridge. The play area was designed by children and opened in the Summer of 2008. The park features an awesome splash pad, large outdoor and underground tunnels, a spider pyramid, giant rocks for climbing, a bridge and a slide. A large portion of the play area's ground (lower level) is lined with the mud free rubber surface. It has a kind of unique setup where it is kind of like two levels. An upper level and a lower level, with the two being separated by a steep incline. One cool part about this is that you can take the slide from the upper to lower level. On a side note, the splash pad was not operating while I was there, but it was just the beginning of Summer, so I cannot really speak much about it. It does look nice though You will also find a pavilion, Ozark Pavilion, that is elevated and overlooks the splash pad and play area, n the area that allows parents to sit and relax, while supervising their littles. The park is very well maintained and still looks relatively new. There is metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance to/from the park and the meters run from 8AM to 6PM, Monday through Friday. This is a very nice park to visit and spend some time at. It is spacious and picturesque. I highly recommend checking this place out if you get the chance.

I spent a few hours hiking on one of the more difficult hiking trails and it was a great experience! The trail was clean and well labeled, but the only difficult part was locating the same trail markers going down the mountain, especially since there are so many rocks and boulders throughout the entire terrain so it was very easy to miss several trail markers on the way down. I love that the state park offers a variety of trails and difficulty levels, so whether you are a beginner hiker or a more experienced hiker, you are bound to have a good time. I enjoyed the trail and the experience of doing some rock climbing, and if I'm ever in the area again I will definitely come back!

Love the free AR state park "passports" you can get as well - so many high-quality details!! 2. This was a challenging but well-marked hiking path. For context, we were told there is a "hard" side or an "extra hard" side to hike LOL. We chose the "hard" side. You do need some moderate physical fitness - a good portion of the "trail" was just spray-painted yellow marks on large rocks and boulders you have to climb. But we did it all in under 2 hours? Great views from the top, and there is a wonderful playground in the middle of the parking lot too! What a unique and fun experience. Honorable mention: we saw a raccoon in a Christmas sweater.
