Stay Date: November 2010
Our Rating: BAD – 5
Located on the frontage road of I-30, this is basically a big gravel parking lot with hookups. Long, staggered pull thru sites without trees, grass, tables, or view. Very noisy at night; besides the freeway noise, the park is at an exit with a Flying J, and the decelerating trucks will rattle the windows. Lots of long term residents who leave early in the morning, and the loud crunching of tires on gravel is noticeable. Good free cable TV and WiFi, and Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. Friendly managers and an escort to the site was nice. A safe place to stay off the road, but not exactly a serene place to spend the night. At $32/night with discounts it’s a place we’ll pass by next trip.

Little Rock Air Force Base Famcamp, AR
Stay Date: November 2010
Our Rating: BAD – 6
We had mixed feelings about this campground; it was fairly easy to access, on a nice base with good facilities, and inexpensive ($12). On the other hand, it had enough against it that we don’t consider it a place to return to. The 10 full-hookup sites with 50A were all taken (they don’t take reservations), and at least 5 of them were long-term residents. The remaining sites were pull thrus, 30A and water only, and had concrete pads. The pads were wide but not long enough to leave your tow attached, although the guy behind us did and semi-blocked the road. The patio area was deep pea gravel, which made walking in it a chore, but there was a nice table. Our view was of a ramshackle trailer, complete with tarp cover, chain-link kennels, and lots of junk plus at least two cars. No cable TV or WiFi, but our Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. Imagine our joy when at 7:00 AM on Monday morning we were treated to reveille played loud enough to rattle the windows. We’ll pass on this location in the future. Military or DoD ID required.
