Petit Jean State Park

"On our journey from Little Rock to Oklahoma, we were fortunate to stumble upon this hidden gem in Arkansas. What a delightful discovery it turned out to be! This place is a haven for nature lovers, boasting several incredible hiking trails to explore. Opting for the Cedar Falls trail was a decision we didn't regret. While it takes around 45 minutes to reach the falls, the journey is just as rewarding as the destination. The breathtaking views along the way heightened our excitement, and finally witnessing the majestic Cedar Falls was an unforgettable moment. It's definitely a highlight of our trip, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a refreshing outdoor adventure!!"

"This park is an absolute delight. There is something here for everyone. Caves? Check. Waterfalls? Check. Mountain vistas? Check. Hiking,birding,swimming,camping, literally all the things. I haven’t stopped thinking about how wonderful this park is and how much I want to revisit."

"We camped in section B fairly level sites with nice space between camp sites. Enjoyed some of the hikes. Beautiful waterfalls. Cleaned bathrooms. Very busy on weekends and very quiet on the weekdays. Great staff at the visitor center. Thank you for a great camping trip."

"I only really had enough time to stop by the visitor center and the lookout area, but I can't wait to get back there for more! The views were amazing and I know there is a lot more of them worth seeing. I also really want to get to the waterfall and do the hikes this park offers."

"We had a great time at this park. We stayed in section C I believe which is the older campground. Some of these sites are a tight fit and our water facet was so far away from my camper I couldn’t reach it with a 50 ft hose. I did like the mature trees in the area though and we were able to make it work. Each site has your typical amenities fire ring, lantern pole, tent pad, etc. The bathrooms were really well maintained just a little dated in our section and the showers offered little privacy. The visitors center was nice and new and offered a small educational exhibit. The park offers so many hiking trails and other amenities such as an on site restaurant, swimming pools, basketball courts, kayaking etc. There is so much for the family to do in the area definitely worth the drive to visit and stay for a weekend!"
