Personal Comments:

This park is huge and has 103 sites. Almost all back up to Lake Greeson. The Lake itself is huge and rumored one of the best fishing lakes in the state. We stayed here for a few nights and used it at Base Camp for kayaking the nearby Caddo River and exploring the surrounding area. Glenwood is only a short drive down the road (40 miles) and it the nearest big town which is also home to Billy's House of Guitars.

Almost all the State Parks in Arkansas are beautiful, this one being one of them. Big timbers lined around the camp sites with nice mature trees shading the park. There is also a boat launch in the park and many surrounding ATV trails.
