Only thing that would have made this the best trip, would be having an internet signal. Once you drop off the levee and go a little ways you lose all service. No way to get help if needed. The Government should really look into getting a tower placed in that area ASAP!

Spent last night in Pendleton Arkansas state campground. There are 3 huge really nice riverside spaces with covered picnic tables looking straight onto the Arkansas river. We had to go through Riceland, a large rice distribution facility. Lots of really cool industrial structures. Beautiful views from the campground of the Arkansas river. Night tugs carrying rice shipments down the Arkansas River. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

We had a very good stay with the people at the campground. The third stay in a month! It is a short drive and we are new to Rv camping and enjoying it a lot.

Nice level sites, bathrooms could have been cleaner but not awful. Quiet and rangers were very friendly.
