For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: If you’re into fishing or boating, you may give this park 5 stars. But if not, you’ll find this park very lacking. No hiking trails, no playground for kids and no biking trails. Most sites are water and electric only. There’s an area that looked newly renovated and were full hookups and level. All the rest were not very level and looked old. When we were there the campground was over crowded and there was music playing until midnight. I cannot recommend this park and will not be staying there again.

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: I stayed here in February ‘22 while passing through. Some of the nicest showers I’ve seen at a campground. I paid $36 for a full hookup site on the lake.

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: We stopped on our way back home from NW Ar to walk the trail. Nice country walk and was able to view 4 deer during our walk. Beautiful state park and lake.

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: We have stayed in three Arkansas state parks so far and I cannot say enough good things about them. Lake Dardenelle state park is very large with the campground areas separate from the day use areas (beach, playground, amphitheater for bass tournaments, visitor center, marina). The campgrounds are at the end of the park, so it is less crowded and quieter in that area. There are more than one camp loops, but only one offers sights large enough for big rigs, full hook up & waterfront sights, and that is loop A. We reserved one of those sites on the water and wow, it is amazingly beautiful. It would be perfect if not for the sight of the nuclear plant across the water. Each waterfront sight is level, well groomed with large picnic area and stairway to another sitting area near the water. Non-waterfront sites appear very nice, shaded and spacious. If you want wifi, there are a couple of locations within the park you can access with a password, just ask for it. Verizon signal very good, of course the park is close to Russellville. Can't speak for the bathroom facilities. No laundry facility. Unlike many other states, Arkansas does not require a vehicle pass.

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: Large treed sites with picnic table and fire ring. Beautiful lakefront sites with bench. Great for big rigs. Full service sites. Bathrooms/showers are huge, private and no extra charge. Walking trails, dogs allowed- beware of ticks. Near nuclear reactor site...

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: This is a very nice state park with a beautiful paved entrance and welcome center with aquariums, exhibits, and gift center. There is a daily schedule of classes and activities for kids. We only stayed a couple of nights in the D loop. I think we probably picked the most unlevel spot in the entire park, but we were coming in late after dark and all the sites were marked reserved around us so we didn’t try to move. However, it was so unlevel, we couldn’t unhitch the tow truck and the shower wouldn’t drain. We were able to make dues with our second vehicle and the bath houses. Our visit also coincided with the recent flooding of the Arkansas River, so the lake and swimming area were closed. They did have an awesome playground, and rock barrier/pier that was pretty happening at night with lots of people walking and fishing. Overall a great park. Would definitely come back but try to get a different site.

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: Stayed here for a few days. Section A is great for bigger rigs, spaces are big and near level. Many spaces right on the lake. Full hookups and other sections with water and electric. Excellent ATT and Verizon service. Good shade but also cleared enough for SAT. Really nice visitor center, playgrounds, and beach area for swimming.

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: Very nice and clean camp ground. Lots of trees, grass, sandy beach, and a beautiful lake. Very quiet even when the park was full. The only negative that I have, there are a lot of fire ants and I was stung several times, so sitting outside was not possible. Would stay again

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: Very nice and clean campsite! We stayed here for 3 nights. Close to the mountains for hiking, we went to Mount Petit Jean and hiked to the falls, Mount Nebo we watched the sunrise and sunset, and Mount Magazine we hiked to the highest point and then watched the most amazing sunset at observation point. Lake Dardanelle has kayaks you can rent which was great because we had ours but a friend met us and was able to rent one and kayak with us.

For Russellville - Lake Dardanelle State Park: Very nice state park! Paved roads. Most sites reasonably level....ours was perfectly level (#36), right on the water with a nice view. We had full hookups, picnic table and metal bench for sitting and looking at the view. Everyone seemed to have plenty of room and quite a bit of privacy. Unisex shower/restroom/sink combinations (6 per bldg) were clean, roomy and air-conditioned. We had an excellent Verizon signal so cell and data came through well. Very nice visitor information center! Friendly staff. We did not have a reservation and came in after hours but a park attendant offered help and led us to an empty site and told us that we could just pay the next morning at the visitor center. This was just an overnight stay it was a very pleasant experience and we will not hesitate to return to this park. Our cost was $23.32 for a premium weekday site. We camped in a Class B RV.
