Toney Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 We are leaving 27 Feb. going on a leisure trip to the Escapade (weather permitting). Our first stop will be, after a 5hr drive, to just south of Little Rock, Ark. Our rig is just shy of 39ft with a 4door Jeep Wrangler toad so we would like to find a pull through to fit. I have searched everywhere I can think of and have found only a KOA in Hot Springs. Hot Springs is about 30 miles off our I-30 route. I'm still searching but if anyone has any suggestions I am all ears. We are looking for a level, FHU site and nothing more than that. So a park off I-30 south of Little Rock 20-30 miles would be great. Thanks everyone.

Bill Joyce Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 A few years ago we stayed at I-30 Travel Park in Benton, http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/arkansas/benton, and had no trouble driving up to Little Rock. We have also stayed at Downtown Riverside RV Park in North Little Rock, which was much more convenient.

Rick & Alana Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 If Hot Springs isn't too far from where you want to be. We like Catherine's Landing.

bigjim Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Where are you starting from and what is your expected route if you don't mind sharing? Near Little Rock but just E. is Burns Park. I don't know about pull throughs but perhaps you can get info by googling it. I stayed there a couple of times but used back ins. As Bill stated there are some out near Benton but I have no personal experience. I think one of them is a JellyStone Park. If you have to go farther there is a park just off the interstate at Hope,Arkansas. And not much farther if you have to go that far there is a park a little east of Texarkana and another at stateline blvd. on the Texas side.

docj Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 A few years ago we stayed at I-30 Travel Park in Benton, http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/arkansas/benton, and had no trouble driving up to Little Rock. We have also stayed at Downtown Riverside RV Park in North Little Rock, which was much more convenient. We are 40' and both worked. I-30 Travel Park won't win awards for attractiveness (it's mostly gravel) but the pull through sites for travelers are long and easy to get in and out of. The office people are friendly and the highway noise is less than we expected. It was an easy drive into Little Rock to go to the Clinton Library. Coming from the north pay close attention to the directions since the freeway/service road setup there can be a bit confusing. We spent longer there than we had planned while we waited for storms to clear last fall.

Barbaraok Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 We stayed at COE campgrounds at Williow Creek Recreational Area off of US Highway 165. Nice, quite, large spaces, not to far from the Interstate 440 loop.

We are starting out from TN going south. With so many responses I feel we will have a good chance for a site around Benton.

bigjim Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I don't know if you have been through West Memphis lately there is serious construction on the interstate there with narrow lanes, etc. Last year when I left the Memhis I went south on hwy51 (DannyThomasBlvd) to Crump Blvd turned right which put me across the "old" bridge then I exited to the main street of Wmemphis. A lot of lights but not bad to time especially on Sun. AM. At the far west end of town I turned right just past the college to get back to I40. I don't know if this is how you planned but thought it might be good to throw out the information in case it would be helpful. What docj said about the service roads out around Benton is correct but do able. Also I believe the advice about the one at Arkadelphia is also correct. If you go as far as Texarkana the first park is Sunrise RV park and it would be easy in and out and it is near a FlyingJ truckstop if that is useful, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
