RV Parks In North Little Rock, AR -- Find Campgrounds

North Little Rock sits on the Arkansas River's north bank, where urban convenience meets genuine Southern charm. The city's riverfront trails wind past downtown Little Rock's skyline, and Burns Park -- one of the largest municipal parks in America -- sprawls across 1,700 acres with trails, lakes, and open spaces that make it an RV destination in its own right.

You've got several campgrounds and RV parks to choose from here, and the lineup is surprisingly diverse. Full hookup parks with resort amenities share the area with no-frills spots that focus on river access and trails. The real win? some locations offer free overnight parking, making this one of the more budget-friendly metro camping scenes in Arkansas. You'll find everything from modern RV resorts with pools and laundry to simple gravel lots where you can dump and go.

From your campsite, Little Rock's attractions sit just across the river. The Clinton Presidential Center is a 15-minute drive from most parks. Pinnacle Mountain State Park's hiking trails are 20 minutes west, offering summit views worth the climb.

Dickey-Stephens Park hosts minor league baseball games right on the riverfront -- walk from some campgrounds. The Big Dam Bridge, America's longest pedestrian and cycling bridge, connects North Little Rock's trail system to Little Rock's, creating a 17-mile loop that's perfect for morning bike rides.
