Great stay
First time visiting little rock & this campground was perfect. Water & power hookup for each lot. Beautiful view as we were winding down for the night. Lots of geese wandering around & still chatty late at night- but kinda cute to hear. The campsites are pretty spacious for Tents with their own fire rings too. Definitely would stay again !
Great COE campground near Little Rock
Stayed 6 nights at Maumelle COE campground next to Arkansas River. Nice and quiet especially after the weekend crowd left. Nice walking trails and still close to major conveniences. We stayed in site E7 which was great for our needs with good privacy.
First Time Here / Very Quiet Park
First time here and the sites are amazing. Well spaced out. Not right beside your neighbor. Each site has water and electricity with 110, 30 and 50 amp hookups. Noticed dump stations throughout the park. There are several small campgrounds and the bath houses although dated are very clean and even heated which helps on cold nights. We met several nice people, even some who follow our Facebook page Outdoor More Family and it was nice to meet so many nice families. Plenty of wood can be obtained at a large wood pile near the entrance. Bring your own saw or bucket. Will be back for sure.

Camping review
Great park, plenty of spots with a nice area for camping. Some have picnic sheds at them. Beautiful view of the river unless you infront of the boat docks. Overall great experience. You can hear some road noise.
Nice stop!
Nice big park and inexpensive. Especially if you have a National Park Pass. Stayed one night backed in to a site right on the lake. Huge park to walk our dog and let her run. Definitely would stop again. Easy access of I40. Water/electric hookup only. Bathrooms old but clean.
Wonderful park
Lake front campsites. Showers are great if you like really hot water with good pressure
Nice clean and roomy park
Great spacing between campgrounds. Power and water are good. So far. Seems to be clean with a great view of the water
Great park
We stayed at site 30. The park is very, VERY nice. Lots of shade and uts so peaceful here. Even though the campground is quite full, it is still very peaceful. Restrooms and bathhouse is available. There are beautiful sites on the water but really anywhere you stay is quite beautiful. Sites are $22 per night. The ONLY reason we give it 4 stars is because of the horrific traffic getting here. It's a but insane.

Maumelle Park
This place is amazing. I am on the river side and absolutely loving it. I have 5G on my phone and there is high speed internet for about $20 a week. The sites along the river are huge I don’t feel crowded at all. Pads are level with water and electric. I am definitely coming back here again.

Great place
Right on the river
Beautiful Maumelle
Love this state camping ground. Beautiful, quiet, refreshing. Right on the river.
Amazing!
We absolutely love Maumelle park. It’s very well kept and the spots are spacious with plenty of room between sites. Not to mention, it’s beautiful!! We prefer Loops A and B bc they have waterfront sites. Every site has water and electric and there are plenty of dump locations throughout!

Hot but nice!
This trip made us rethink camping in August. It was hot, but there was a good breeze coming from the water. Sites are well spaced. Very enjoyable campground.
On the river
Great park On the river close to pinnacle mt,bike trails
Great ACOE Park
One of the better ACOE campgrounds we’ve experienced. Our site A20 was spacious and private with 50amp and water. We wanted to explore the Little Rock area and this campground was perfect for doing so. Sits alongside the Arkansas River and the whole area is very well maintained. Excellent Verizon signal.
Lovely park
Maumelle was a beautiful park with great hookups (water/electric). We stayed in 3 different spots and they were all great. D02 gets pretty muddy if it rains. Wifi is only really available near the A loop but T-mobile and AT&T speeds were great for remote work. The park is extremely convenient and close to everything. Only downside is all the construction getting off the highway but that's not the parks fault!
Beautiful, close to all amenities & mountain biking
Made our reservations through Recreation.gov. Arrived on a Sunday afternoon and it was a very busy place. With its large river access I imagine it attracts all the local boaters. The playground attracts lots of children. Many large rigs arrived on Monday and the local traffic seemed to disappear.
It's a beautiful park by the AR River with lovely grounds to walk or bike. Shower was a bit moldy but usable (why I gave the cleanliness rating only 4 stars). Sites are very well spaced and you can take your chairs to the river or use the picnic benches ( some in pavilions) scattered along the river full of waterfowl and occasional boaters and huge barges.
We stayed in B2 which faced the river. If we return, I'd choose a river site but this was nice too except our 34 ft class A FDDS opened right onto a silty patch that forced us to navigate our entry into our motorhome and wipe our shih tzu's little feet really well before he came in. Despite us taking off our shoes, it was hard to avoid silt on our feet.
It is warm here but many still use their fire pits creating lots of smoke. We had to close our windows to avoid that.
As mountain bikers, we were able to visit Angry Dave's bike shop and get a few repairs and visit with the knowledgeable folks there who gave us a free AR trail book and repaired my front end suspension and added a new tire. Their two border collies are an added bonus sure to put a smile on your face. They were friendly to my little shih tzu who was welcomed. They have wonderful high-end bikes to check out. The Pinnacle Mountain Trail system was a shaded easy trail system that can be accessed right from this campground. If you like staying close to amenities, this is a great place.
Great campground 🙂
This is a clean, cute campground. All sites have water and electric hookups. It was quiet, safe, everyone was nice. Close to a large grocery store (maybe 10 minutes). Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
Campground right on the lake
Great place to camp they do not have sewer at sites but do have dump station in each section of park. Mostly shaded too and it’s hot right now so it’s perfect.
Very well maintained . Great views
Very pretty and well shaded. Boat launches are easy access. No store So come prepared. This is a very popular spot for RV camping. Roughly 100+ sites in 3 loops.
Maumelle RV Park
Very nice Park, it’s a C.O.E park, we have stayed here many times. Lots of pine trees in section E. 30/50 hookup with water. Dump stations in each section of park. You are allowed to run grey water off on ground. Medical spots have sewer but will need Dr. note. Section B is River location. Park is quiet, staff is nice. There are 3 shower areas, but keep in mind, anyone who drives in can use it. Park shares boat dock area. Just FYI E10 floods in the rain.
Peace
The campground Does not have dispersed camping. Rates are $22 - 26 and if you have the correct park pass it will cost $10 per night.
I hate to sing the praises of this COE campground but I believe the word is out. If you are checking out the COE website this can be a bit confusing. The COE Book list this park as Murray Lock and Dam. If you are coming to the park you will see signs for Maumelle Park. By looking at the Arkansas River you would think the east side of the river would all be considered North Little Rock or Little Rock. Maumelle is on the west side of the Arkansas. Actually Maumelle continue across the river so the campground is considered to be Maumelle thereby making the park Maumelle Park.
The amazing thing about Maumelle Park is the beauty. You can sit on the banks of the Arkansas and dream of all the adventures past and present.
The park is very active for the community. The roads in the park are great for walking biking or just checking out all the campers with their friendly waves and hi’s. Count yourself lucky to get a space during the summer. Sites can be reserved and I do suggest you reserve. The 95 sites have water and electricity with some pull through sites. There is a dump station as you leave the park and each section of the park has a dump station. Flush toilets and showers typically COE units but clean.
It is truly a park setting with amazing mature trees. Most sites have shade. Several sites on the river but these sites are hard to come by. RESERVE RESERVE RESERVE.
There is a boat ramp and great playground for the children.
This park has a Medical section. It is affiliated with Baptist Hospital for their cancer patients. This is like a home away from home. Such a great idea.
This park is minutes away from shopping, dining, movies or Pinnacle Mountain. Check out the Big Dam Bridge, Three Rivers Park. So much to explore or just watch the fish jumping, birds flying or the children playing. This is a location where you will find as much or as little to do as you wish.
Fireworks are not allowed. If you do launch a boat or kayak and float towards downtown Little Rock there is a lock that you can go through to reach the downtown area. You will need a rope and if there are boats waiting you will have to wait your turn. In order to do this you will need to be able to shuttle your kayaks or boats back to the campground. That will be your responsibility. It is a neat float and an awesome experience. Check out the River Market and Clinton Library along with Heifer International. Remember LNT. Leave No Trace.
Lots of Space
This camp site had lots of room with easy access. Met the nicest people!
Nice overnight +
Very well maintained park. Our spot was right beside the river. As we only stayed one night, we used our own showers. Seemed to be a good bit of traffic all through the night. Would have liked to have stayed another night and done some fishing.
Lots of Noise
Stayed in May, the geese made loud noises all night. It was loud if you are in a tent. Campers from the other end of the park put on a concert of loud music and singing into the early hours. No one on site to enforce any rules. Do not get the spot across from the bathrooms. People drive up to the bathroom all night slamming car doors and start back early around 5 am. I only saw three tents and the rest RV’s but the bathroom/shower was hopping all night. Tent sleeping is a little challenging here but it’s a nice place. With 180 camp sites it’s going to be busy.

Great park close to downtown
What’s not to love about this park. Check in was super easy. Bathrooms where always clean. Each loop has its own dump station.
This park is right on the Arkansas River so kayaking was super easy here.
All sites had plenty of outdoor space.

Beautiful campground
We loved the beauty of this campground. There are plenty of tall shade trees and it is right on the banks of the Arkansas River. Sites are well spaced with plenty of room in between.
Lovely!
I enjoyed this campground! Right on the river, the sites are a good distance away from eachother, and there are a lot of sites so it wasn’t hard to find an open spot! My site (C7) is shaded by two large trees. Picnic table and water and electric hookup. No sewer.
Beautiful views year round
Large open campgrounds, nice playgrounds and beautiful campsites. Close, short bike ride!, to Pinnacle mountain park and Two Rivers parks to explore. If you’re coming to Central AR then you have to stay Maumelle park
