Long Pool Recreation Area
Park
👍👍 Love this campground! Honestly so stunning. Went once as a teen and again recently for a birthday trip and just...wow! We went before the season really kicked off, so our area felt really secluded and everything was in bloom for spring. There are outhouse style bathrooms by the campgrounds, but if y...

Jackson Falls
Hiking area
👍👍 Awesome area to explore, the hiking trails aren't too well marked but if you have common sense you should be able to follow them. Best time to arrive is early spring after rain to see the falls flowing. During the week these trails are not busy in the slightest.

Dixon Springs State Park
State park
👍 Yes, the campground has pit toilets. If you can handle those, it's a great place to relax and observe nature. We saw an owl hunting at dusk, three deer wandering in the morning, weird moths. There's a swimming pool open in the summer daytime hours and the bathrooms near there have running water. The...

Lake Dardanelle
Park
👍 This review is for those interested in the mountain bike trail. It has some roots, some rocks but nothing compared to a lot of the trails in Arkansas. Lots of small ups and downs with only one section of short bigger hills. Nothing that I would call technical. Mostly twisty fast track. That said I a...

Millstone Bluff Archaeological Area
Historical landmark
👍👍 Definitely one of my favorite places to go. Place is pretty well kept. If you know what you're looking for you will see Native American writings/drawings, shelter, places of worship, petroglyphs and petraglyphs. This place has more than most even know about. Even the locals are being shown new disc...

The road is all dirt / gravel road and there is a auto closing gate each night. There is a small office you can stop in and ask questions and get all the info neede...
