Mount Magazine State Park Campground

If I can name several of the most amazing views in Arkansas it would go Mount magazine, whitney mountain, white rock, pinnacle mountain, mount nebo. So if you are into views where you can see forever go here! We Love renting there luxury cabins with hot tubes on the porches. There are so many hikes to go to with varying levels. If you love butterflies you should plan to come to the butterfly festival it is one of the biggest in the nation and is a big deal!

We had our family reunion here last year and had an amazing time. The staffs are very nice and approachable. The rooms are clean and the view from the terrace is fantastic! The food is also great.

The view from here is worth the middle of nowhere drive to this park, especially given the fact its in Arkansas and one would not expect much from Arkansas. But one would be wrong. Arkansas is awesome.
Sites were not ritzy or level. Bathrooms were clean but meh. The lodge was grand and completely surprising- stake out a rocking chair on the massive stone veranda and watch the sun go down from the top of the mountain.
Mountain biking, hiking, hang gliding, bird watching, geocaching... something for everyone. There is no nearby town to speak of so stock up before coming.

The temperature really is 10-15 degrees cooler on the mountain. We had deer coming up right outside the camper to eat mushrooms and hickory nuts. Nice level sites with full hookups. There are 18 sites they all have a full hookup, tent area, lantern hook, fire ring, picnic table and grill. The lodge was gorgeous and dog friendly on the patio. The restaurant served good food, not fancy but well prepared. You did have to fill out a form for private membership to get a cocktail, but it was easy and didn't cost. Bring all your booze as Paris only sells local wine and has limited beer selection. No liquor stores in Paris. There was a Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Sonic, and Taco Bell. Havana didn't have any stores other than a small gas station. Lots of hiking trails and the Cameron Bluff overlook was beautiful. All the park and lodge employees seemed very nice and friendly. AT&T cell phone coverage was almost non-existent until you drove up to the lodge.

Really nice, no pull throughs, but still easy access to back in, with long deep sites for RV’s. Very clean with several hiking trails in the park, and a very nice lodge on the south rim of the mountain. We visited in October and the park was full.

We spent 4 nights here during Spring Break in 2018. Sites are spacious and well laid out. The pads are level asphalt with gravel around the picnic table and fire pit. The restrooms were clean and well kept and there were a couple of trails that left from the campground.The overlooks on the Mossback Ridge and Benefield Loop trails were beautiful. No, it's not the Rockies but Mount Magazine is the highest point in Arkansas and worth the trip. Some switchbacks on the road up the mountain but take your time and even the big rigs shouldn't have any problems.

Stayed here two nights and had a great time. The mountain has some switchbacks but nothing too tricky. The sites are mostly level and paved. The lodge is beautiful, I would recommend checking it out. The trails leading to the highest point in Arkansas were clear and well maintained, but some of the other trails were a bit overgrown. If you’re traveling with dogs make sure you bring tick repellent!

Loved this state park, we had a very private site with beautiful forest, wildflowers and fireflies to look at. Site 15. Lodge was gorgeous and the views from driving around were great. Did lots of hikes. Tons of ticks in the summer though so be careful.

The area is hardwood forests mixed with Pine and Cedar. We were here the middle of April and the trees are just beginning to bud out. Lower on the mountain trees are in full foliage. Campground is nice, facilities are fairly new and clean, sites are not to close together, probably 50 feet to our neighbor's site. Lodge is luxurious and has free wifi. We got wireless internet at our site with a hotspot and portable antenna. Lot's of nice trails. Be sure to bring your tick and chigger repellent! Our rate reflects senior discount. Regular rate is $32. Our site has full hookups.

Probably the quietest campground we’ve ever stayed in! Super nice folks. Very accommodating. Large clean spaces. Fairly level pavement plus tent area. Lodge is spectacular to visit for the views.
