Stay in a cabin if you can. Very nice with fireplace and nice porch swing. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Clean, pleasant place with nice staff. Prepare to hike. You can't take a bad picture there. Since the main town is 20 miles from the park, make sure to get your food provisions before you go there. Book... more

We camped in a premium site in a motorhome in Oct. The fall colors were beautiful, although not at peak. It was wonderful to have full hook ups. A lot of rain kept us from doing much hiking, but we made some beautiful drives. If you don't want to pull the steep hill (1 mile) up, be sure to ask... more

I stayed overnight at Petit Jean State Park as part of a 10-day road trip and it was nothing short of amazing. I chose a room in the rustic lodge and it was very clean and comfortable. It's even wheelchair accessible. The lodge is situated on top of a mountain and the views are beautiful. But the best part is... more

We loved the rock cave, and looking for American Indian 'glyphs; and bear cave trail, winding among... more

We made reservations for Area A after hearing this was a premium spot for camping in this park. I'm so happy that we did because these were some of the best camping spots I have ever seen. Area A offers full hook ups. The camp sites are nestled around the lake and well planned out and spaced out from your... more

Lovely Petit Jean State Park is the oldest state park in Arkansas, completed in 1941 by the CCC. I particularly enjoyed its combination of natural beauty and historical interest. The Cedar Creek Trail, a 1-1/4 mile walk, hits the best of both, from the calming creekside trail and Leaning Rock, to stone bridges, to a one-room pioneer cabin that housed... more
