Many great sites right overlooking the river. Sites are spaced out well. We had the one on the end #15. Even the sites not on the river looked good too. Bathrooms are new, clean, and smell fresh. We almost had the entire place to ourselves around the first of June. Very peaceful parklike setting.

Pads are long but hard to get into for a 38 5th wheel! Grass was high and chiggers/mosquitos very bad! But it is a campground on the river & that is to be expected. Fun watching barges go by!

@BarbaraL120288 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #C6

This is a very nice, quiet place to relax and unwind. Pads are very level and well kept.

@TheresaB676023 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #C5

The views were lovely, the camp host was accommodating about my site change request, and everything was well maintained

@IanS7069090 · Camped on May 17, 2025 at Campsite #C15

We had a great stay! Very peaceful and remote. Well kept up grounds and bathrooms. If you are looking to be out in the middle of nowhere, stay here! Would stay here again.

The campground was very clean and well maintained. The host, Tonya May, was very welcoming and allowed me to pick a site from those that were available.I have Mint mobile (t-mobile) and the cell reception seemed better on the sites that were closer to the entrance--the further to the right, the less reception.I would definitely return.

@BarbaraP899344 · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #C4

We were just passing through the area but found a great place to stay for the night.The park was beautiful, plenty of space between campsites, quiet, and no lights shining on us in the night. The sunset was awesome, and in the morning we watched a barge pushing through, fascinating.

@GaryR1641966 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #C13

The Host was excellent

@ScottA1901121 · Camped on Mar 17, 2025 at Campsite #C7

Nice views immediately overlooking the Arkansas River. Facilities well-maintained. Campground host friendly and especially helpful in replacing an all-access card lost when my wallet was recently stolen.

@WENDYB6967976 · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #C10

Campgrounds were lovely. Facilities were clean and well maintained. We were traveling with little o es that used and enjoyed the playground. We would recommend staying here.

@FloydB3252929 · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #C15

friendly staff. Sites with good views on the river.

@JohnR1203984 · Camped on Mar 1, 2025 at Campsite #C15

Very nice size site. Spaced well. Right on the river.

@PatP4583844 · Camped on Feb 24, 2025 at Campsite #B2

We stayed at Rising Star for one night as a halfway stop for a trip to and back from Gulf Islands National Seashore. Rising Star is a well layed out and clean campground, level concrete pads, has nice spacing between campsites and extremely clean bathroom/shower facilities. The campground host was very friendly and helpful.

@KentM63D5E239A · Camped on Dec 10, 2024 at Campsite #B2

Love this park. Host super friendly and accommodating. Restrooms very clean. Quiet and dark. Loved it. Only complaint is water pressure was very low. We were the only camper here most of the time.

@RebeccaW266200 · Camped on Dec 1, 2024 at Campsite #B9

Always nice. Very clean

@PaulH7895659 · Camped on Nov 23, 2024 at Campsite #B1

Beautiful campground!, clean and well maintained.

@ToddC4002059 · Camped on Nov 12, 2024 at Campsite #B7

I think this is a hidden gem of a campground. Out-of-the way, quiet and scenic beside the Arkansas river. The staff was attentive and friendly upon check-in, the restroom/shower facility was very clean, up-to-date and accessible. This is a nice place to spend a quiet and peaceful night. I would definitely stop here again.

@ArneO7B9CF5040 · Camped on Nov 12, 2024 at Campsite #B2

Very clean and well maintained. Cleanest and nicest federal park I have ever been to. Camp host is very friendly. The bathroom facilities are clean modern and the hot water works. Best site is B2. Dont be afraid to book the handicap spots off season as they are the all handicapped and the only ones available.

@ThomasE4870862 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #B3

Beautiful, well maintained park on the Arkansas river. Off the beaten path by 3 or 4 miles of asphalt. We camped in a 40ft RV and had no problems with access. The campground host was awesome.

@BrianB7534319 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #B7

If clean bathrooms are your thing go to rising star.

@BarbaraL120288 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #B2

Small and very quiet. The concrete pads and the water are a big plus.

@DianeD7776824 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #C11

Bathroom very clean. Tonya was very helpful and pleasant.

@KenF2D41778CDE · Camped on Oct 26, 2024 at Campsite #C2

This is a very nice park. It's always clean and quiet. We love the sites along the river because they provide the best views of the sunsets. The camp host is always friendly and helpful. This is a must stop anytime we're near Pine Bluff, AR.

@BrianB7534319 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #C8

Tonya very friendly and helpful. cleanest restrooms on the river

@TiffanyW827725 · Camped on Oct 19, 2024 at Campsite #C1

We have camped here at least 4 times in 2024 and really like this campground. It's always clean and quiet and we especially like the water side sites. Everyone that has camped by us as been quiet and respectful as well. Nice area to walk around in the evenings after dinner and the views are lovely.We will definitely be back here often.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
