Our Story
Petit Jean Campground has been a gathering place for families, couples, and solo wanderers seeking the kind of rest that only comes when you're far from fluorescent lights and close to something real.
Nestled along the shores of the Petit Jean River, our campground sits at the base of one of Arkansas's most beloved state parks. Whether you come for the waterfalls, the hiking trails, or simply the silence, you'll find a home base that's been thoughtfully maintained for comfort without sacrificing the spirit of the outdoors.
