COE Park Russellville Arkansas

Old Post Corps of Engineers park in Russellville Arkansas, borders the Arkansas river. Tugs and barges cruise by the campground delivering goods and materials upstream and down. Easy access to the park with big open sites.  Electric and water only but a free dump station just outside the parks' boundaries. They offer a ball field, tennis courts, frisbee golf and a host of activities. Lots of hiking and biking trails. Close to town for groceries and shopping. If staying in the area be sure to visit Mt. Nebo. It's not recommended for trailers over 24' for good reason. Take your car or truck and spend the day. The access road is narrow and winding but the trip is well worth the time and effort. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the views of Lake Dardanelle and surrounding areas. If you time it right, you'll be treated to one of the most outstanding sunsets ever.
