“Explore the unique beauty of Arkansas”

Here you can explore the unique geology, topography, and unusual plant communities of Crowley's Ridge, a landform of rolling hills in eastern Arkansas's Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Crowley's Ridge is a geologic anomaly, the most unusual of Arkansas's six major physiographic provinces, or natural divisions. It is covered with a lush, mixed hardwood forest including oak and hickory and uncommon hardwood trees such as American Beech, Sugar Maple, Butternut, Basswood, Cucumbertree, Kentucky Coffeetree, and the Tuliptree or Yellow Poplar. Village Creek State Park is one of five Arkansas state parks located on Crowley's Ridge. At 6,911 acres, Village Creek is Arkansas's largest state park in acreage. Park interpretive programs and exhibits share the story of the natural and cultural heritage of Crowley's Ridge. Five park trails totaling seven miles allow hikers the opportunity to explore this forest on their own, or on a guided trail walk with a park interpreter. Anglers can fish for bass, bream, catfish, and crappie at the park's two lakes, Lake Austell and Lake Dunn. Launch ramps, boat docks, bait, fishing boats, electric motors, and pedal boats are available late-spring through Labor Day. The park campground includes 96 campsites [24 Class AAA, five Class A, and 67 Class B sites (for RVs, tents, and horse campers)] around Lake Dunn. Nestled on a nearby ridge are the park's 10 fully-equipped cabins that feature kitchens and wood-burning fireplaces. At Lake Austell, picnic sites are situated near a sandy beach and sun deck. The park also includes four standard pavilions (one is enclosed), playgrounds, baseball and multi-use fields, and a driving range.

Nice State Park with 3 areas to Camp. Loop-A with Elect-Water, Loop-B Full Hookup and Equestrian Camp Elect-Water

We stayed in the Equestrian Camp as the others were booked. A beautiful area with Horse Campers with lots of large outdoor Stables. The Sites are Asphalt and many of them have the sides crumbled from erosion. We stayed in Site 87 which is very deep, but it was so narrow that we had to pull 30ft forward to be able to open our Door Steps without a huge drop-off. Being so far forward, we could not reach the 30amp or Water hookups which are actually 10 Ft behind the back of the pad, and water is on the front side of the RV. Good thing we were 2/3 full and we just used extension cords to plug into 15-Amp. It was cool so we didn't need AC. We ended up in the wrong site as signpost, as quoted by the Ranger, are very confusing and not setup normal. They're planning to redo Pads and Posts next year as well as upgrade their Booking Site to show more Site info (Length, Width, Slideouts etc)

The Park itself is beautiful. Lots of Multi-use trails for Hiking, Biking and Horseback, bit you need to get the Trailmap from the office as some trails have restrictions on usage (ie. No Horses or Bikes)

Two Lakes that folks were catching lots of Bass and Catfish in. Electric Trolling motors only. One lake has a Sand Beach for swimming.

Also a 27-Hole Championship Golf Course which we didn't use.

We would stay again but pay more attention to the Site that we book

Beautiful park with vast areas to explore. Splurge for the $30 beach side spots if available ;). Calm warm lake for great paddle boarding!! Beautiful wild deer walking about. Nice fire pits too so pick up some wood when you check in.
