Maple Flat Group Campground

Within St. Francis National Forest, Maple Flat Group Campground operates as a walk-in site designed for group camping. The US Forest Service maintains this former Boy Scout camp, which features scattered remnants of old tent pads throughout the wooded area and a central vault toilet.

Large trees provide overhead cover while moss growth indicates the moist conditions typical of this Arkansas bottomland. Picnic tables cluster near the front entrance, and campers report the sites offer direct water access. The campground fills quickly due to its proximity to Memphis and the Mississippi River. For additional options, see campgrounds around LaGrange, or consider Bear Creek Lake Recreation Area less than a mile northwest.

Old Primitive Group Camp

This is an old, boy scout style group camp. A couple of picnic tables are grouped together at the front of the camp and then there are several remnants of old tent pads throughout the area. Large trees, lots of moss and no overgrowth make this a beautiful place to explore for an hour or so. There is (1) vault style toilet in the center of camp.

Mississippi River Park

Everyone spends their days out on the water but there’s some trails too and tourist attractions outside the park for all ages. The lake has a lot of inlets to explore by canoe. It’s a small campground that fills up since it’s so close to Memphis (and to the river). Shady, wooded, pretty large individual sites...simple but a fine place.

out of the way

We stumbled upon this park accidentally on a trip south, but we enjoyed out night here. The site was right on the water with a good amount of space between us and the next site. There were less than 20 sites I'm guessing which made for a calm atmosphere. We did a bit of hiking at the park which was nice as well. It was a great place to spend a night.
