35.8423° N, 90.7043° W

Quick Overview

Jonesboro has several RV dump stations spread throughout the city, though some of them offer free access. The sani-dump situation here is pretty straightforward -- you'll be paying for most services, but the stations are well-maintained and accessible.

Situated in northeast Arkansas about 70 miles west of Memphis, Jonesboro sits at the crossroads of several major highways that make it a natural stopping point for RVers. The city serves as a regional hub for this part of the Arkansas Delta, and you'll find it's particularly busy during fall hunting season and spring when folks are heading to the nearby lakes.

Most dump stations here are attached to private RV parks and campgrounds, with a few at travel centers along the major routes. You won't find the typical truck stop chains with sanitary dump stations that you might expect in bigger cities, but the RV park facilities are generally solid. Several locations offer additional services like propane fills and basic RV supplies, which comes in handy since dedicated RV service centers are limited in this area.

Getting to these stations is relatively easy since Jonesboro sits right where US-63 meets US-49, with good RV access throughout most of the city. The newer developments on the south side of town tend to have wider roads and easier maneuvering for big rigs. Most stations are within a few miles of the main highway corridors, so you won't be doing much city driving in your rig.

Whether you're passing through on your way to the Ozarks or planning a longer stay to explore Crowley's Ridge, you'll find the dump station options here meet basic needs without too much hassle.

Traveling to Jonesboro by RV

Jonesboro sits right at the intersection of US Highway 63 and US Highway 49, making it easily accessible from multiple directions. If you're coming from the interstate system, you'll most likely approach via US-63 from either I-40 to the south or I-55 to the east. The city is about 70 miles northwest of Memphis and roughly 130 miles northeast of Little Rock.

RV access throughout Jonesboro is generally good, though you'll want to stick to the main arterials. Highway 18 (Johnson Avenue) runs east-west through the city and handles big rigs just fine. Caraway Road and Stadium Boulevard on the south side have been upgraded in recent years and offer excellent RV routing. However, avoid the older downtown core if you're pulling a long trailer -- some of those streets get pretty tight.

There aren't any significant bridge height restrictions on the main routes, but be aware that some of the older overpasses on side streets might be marginal for tall rigs. The railroad crossings throughout the city are generally RV-friendly, though a couple on the east side have fairly steep approaches.

Overnight parking options are limited to the RV parks and campgrounds. The local Walmart on Caraway Road doesn't typically allow overnight parking, and most other big box stores follow similar policies. Plan accordingly if you need to stage somewhere before hitting a dump station the next morning.

Dump Station Costs in Jonesboro

Since free options are limited here, your best money-saving strategy is to plan your dumping around other services you need. If you're getting propane anyway, ask about combo pricing. Some of the RV parks will also waive the dump fee if you're considering an overnight stay -- even if you decide not to camp, they might honor the discount just for stopping by.

Keep in mind that prices can fluctuate during peak seasons, particularly in fall when hunting is popular in this part of Arkansas. It's worth calling ahead if you're traveling during busy periods to confirm both pricing and availability.

Explore the Jonesboro Area

The best time to hit dump stations in Jonesboro is mid-morning on weekdays when the RV parks aren't dealing with weekend check-ins and check-outs. Most of the private park stations get busy Friday afternoons and Sunday mornings during camping season. If you're dumping at one of the travel centers, early morning or late evening tends to be less congested.

For water fill-ups, several of the RV parks will let you top off your fresh tank even if you're just using the dump station. The stations along Highway 63 typically have decent water pressure, but bring your own hose since not all locations provide them. Speaking of hoses, pack a good rinse hose -- some of the older stations here don't have the best cleanup facilities.

Propane is available at several locations around town, including Tractor Supply on Caraway Road and a couple of the larger RV parks. If you need diesel fuel for your motorhome, the truck stops on the south side of town generally have easier access than the stations closer to downtown. For any RV repairs or parts, your best bet is Camping World in nearby Paragould, about 30 minutes northeast, since Jonesboro doesn't have a dedicated RV service center.

One local quirk: during Arkansas State University football season, traffic can get pretty heavy around campus on game days. If you're planning to dump on a Saturday in fall, check the Red Wolves' schedule and maybe plan around it.
