We have camped here for years. It is a great campground and we always enjoy it, however, this year and last year on the 4th of July, they did not mow the grass for some reason. The grass was very tall around our camp and it looked like everywhere else. It made your legs itch and if you were wet and had to walk through it to get to your camp, the black heads on the grass were stuck all over your legs. I'm also pretty sure the grandkids were getting bit by something, chiggers maybe, because they had red bumps on their legs after we had been there a few days. No reason not to mow the grass down somewhat when you know a big holiday weekend is coming.

The bathrooms at this campsite are horrible. They were moldy, and the men in our party said the mens room had cockroaches in it. This campsite offers a more natured feel than the others on this lake. Its a beautiful place, but the amenities are lacking.

Camp sites are great. There is no cell service. There is no camp host or guard shack workers. It would be better if they still had the guard shack open.

We booked sites 3,4, and 5 for 4 nights as we had 5 families that were going to be camping. We had a total of 2 campers and 2 large tents. When we arrived we found that the reservation map is not correct as far as where these spots are located. There is no spot 2 and spots 3 and 4 are to the right of the playground and spot 5 is behind the playground and completely useless. It is a pad and table with a revine that drops off right behind it. The only the that entire spot was good for was to park one small vehicle. We cancelled spot 5 and was able to get only half our money back. Other than that, I love this place. The staff is awesome and takes good care of the park and visitors.

Campsite 29 was wonderful! It was very spacious, close to the water, and close to the bathrooms. We will definitely be booking this site again in the future.

Park site was nice. Very good park. The trail there was not maintained. Other then that everything else was maintained very well.

The camp was clean and area was quiet the 5 days we spent there. The Sheriff's Department made routine rounds checking on everyone. The Ranger that visited us confirming our reservation was nice and courteous. Trash was picked up every morning. The women's bathroom was clean and kept stocked up. My fiance' had no complaints at all. The drinking water is good in our opinion. No problem with the electricity. The only problem was a raccoon lol. So be sure and secure all your food in your vehicle or trailer or whatever you have. Those rascals are smart and will get into tubs. Tie up the trashcan lid also if you can. Water was way down so really didn't bank fish. All in all, we had a very good time. We love Parker Creek!

The park overall was well laid out and campsites spacious with plenty of space and no over crowding. The only drawback was absolutely no cell service.
@JoeG6594421 · Camped on Dec 8, 2024 at Campsite #18
Beautiful and clean camp site. We were only people at camp and if we needed to run to store did not feel like we could leave trailer unattended.
@StephenH630534 · Camped on Nov 24, 2024 at Campsite #20
Great relaxing location with plenty of space for the camper. Clean rest rooms. We really enjoyed the stay.
@MarkL5886645 · Camped on Nov 21, 2024 at Campsite #17
Nice quiet campground. A good place to get away from it all because there is no cell phone coverage or tv coverage in the park! We enjoyed sitting around the campfire and just relaxing!
@TimothyL290617 · Camped on Oct 12, 2024 at Campsite #43
It's a nice park. I stayed away from the water in #43. It was more suitable for an RV than a tent, as the areas to pitch were few and not spectacular.The place where I set my tent, at the end of the drive-in near the stop, was actually very comfortable. There was no staking it out, and I was on a bed of lichen/moss. The facilities were clean, and there was a shower. The campsite had a nice table, a stove pedestal, and a lantern hook. Deer were around the area. It was a good night in the woods and my first foray into Arkansas for camping.
@PHILIPC8348722 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #45
Awesome place, however remember NO cell service and some sites are not Starlink friendly.
@AndrewR3887527 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #35
Nice and quiet place this time of year. To bad the camp grounds are opening year round.
@catherine0B30A · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #20
I enjoyed our stay tremendously! I do not care for the bath houses. I wish the bath houses were like the ones at Gilham Lake Cassatot Reefs. I also wish the area had been mowed before the weekend not on Monday. But I Love the trashcans everywhere and the campsite set up was Great!
@MarkL5886645 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #16
We really enjoyed taking the grand kids camping here. It is a nice quite and beautiful park! No cell or tv coverage was not a problem, good to get away from it for a couple of days!
@LeslieB6141102 · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #17
Very nice campground. Water, electric and trash at all sites (except the 3 tent only). Bathrooms are a bit small for the number of sites, but I never experienced a line to use them. Bathrooms were cleaned early every morning and trash was collected at that time, too.Site also had picnic table, grill, fire pit, lantern post and a fun prep table.Only issue was flies.Interesting trail east of #35- Cinnabar mine trail.The lake is beautiful. Since the campground is on a "finger" of Greeson on the SW side, it's almost like having a private little lake. The wooded hills make it feel very secluded.
@DanD2593905 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #41
Nice park. Good amenities, nice lake, good sites.Directions to site not good, you may miss the last turn. Note, road to park is all paved, if you get to a gravel or dirt road, you're going the wrong way. ALso, I believe GPS coordinates are off, placing you in the middle of the woods away from the campground, not a good result if pulling an RV.

Beautiful lakeside ACoE campground on Lake Greeson, just north of Murfreesboro, AR. Our campsite 26 had 30/50 Amp power and water, and we were level while unhitched with no problem in our 26 Airstream. Theres a 2-lane dump station that is easily accessible. There are two restroom buildings with 2 toilet stalls and one shower stall in each mens & womens bathrooms. Showers are small, and the immediate dressing area is tiny with no shelf and only one small hook, so keeping your stuff off the wet floor is tough, and dressing is awkward.There is virtually no cell signal, but StarLink works if you can get a clear enough view of the sky through the trees. Only Dollar stores available in nearby Murfreesboro as their grocery store burned down and has not been rebuilt as of 4/24, so get groceries in Nashville - 40-45 minutes south. Public boat launch and beach area centrally located. Theres an easy 3/4 mi. hiking path just off the pavement loop east of the Lake inlet. We were there in April, and the tree pollen was VERY heavy.

The time at Parker Creek was amazing. Clean bathhouse, trash emptied daily, and the rangers are helpful. We love to hike and ride our bikes around the park along with the surrounding area. We were in site 11 which was level, the only down side is the picnic table is on the back side of the camper, the stairs are on the road side. We were with a large group so it worked out well because it gave us a big area to gather, if we were camping alone it would have been a small issue.
@JessicaM144623 · Camped on Apr 5, 2024 at Campsite #28
Great location, road was a little fun to get to get in to. But gorgeous drive, good sites, bathhouses were clean and easy to get to.
@KevinD6271011 · Camped on Mar 16, 2024 at Campsite #17
Very quiet place to stay. Below average traffic so you don't have to worry to much about the kids playing or riding bikes on the road.
@KarriS4A3D0913 · Camped on Nov 4, 2023 at Campsite #33
late in season, we were the only campers in the park which was fine. Would have stayed longer but no cell service at all.
@NikkiS4812443 · Camped on Oct 25, 2023 at Campsite #17
This park could use some better signage! We came in after dark, having never been here before we had to guess at which direction to go. We found our site, but were heading the wrong direction to easily back in. The park is gorgeous, our site was across the road from the lake, which was very low. We visited in October, so were a lot of empty spaces, however the sites are not on top of each other, so even during peak season it would be a great place to stay.No cell service, didn't know that in advance, my bad. It was oddly nice to be disconnected for a few days.
@LynnD9067875 · Camped on Oct 22, 2023 at Campsite #11
Could be a lovely campground Several issues here. 1. Entry to park is not well signed. 2. Lake was extremely low and not mentioned anywhere on website. Based on the grass growing on the lake bottom, this has been an issue for a LONG time. 3. We understand that people hunt here, and dont have an issue with that, HOWEVER, across from our campsite there was a deer head UNDER the camper attracting vermin. 4. We left after one night as we did not feel safe didnt seem to be rangers and the few campers who were there made us uncomfortable

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
