<h2>Overview</h2><p>Willow Beach is a tranquil <strong>Army Corps of Engineers</strong> campground situated on the shores of an oxbow lake formed by the Arkansas River. Located just outside the Little Rock metropolitan area, this park offers a unique balance of natural beauty and accessibility. Travelers frequent this site for its <strong>scenic waterfront views</strong> and well-maintained facilities, making it a reliable choice for those exploring the central Arkansas region. The atmosphere is quiet and rustic, prioritizing a serene outdoor experience over resort-style luxuries.</p><h2>Location & Surroundings</h2><p>Set in the small community of Scott, the park is nestled along <strong>Willow Beach Lake</strong> and Pool 5 of the Arkansas River. The landscape is characterized by towering cypress trees and lush vegetation typical of the Arkansas Delta. Visitors often enjoy the sights of local wildlife, including various waterfowl and migratory birds. While the setting feels secluded, the park is only a short drive from the <strong>Arkansas River Trail</strong>, providing a peaceful escape that remains conveniently close to urban amenities and major transport routes.</p><h2>Amenities & Park Features</h2><p>The campground features 21 spacious sites equipped with <strong>electric and water hookups</strong>, accommodating various rig sizes with ease. Each site includes a picnic table and a fire ring, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. On-site facilities include a <strong>boat ramp</strong> for easy river access, a playground for families, and several picnic shelters for larger groups. A dump station is centrally located for convenience. While the park maintains a natural feel, the paved pads provide a level and stable surface for setting up camp.</p><h2>Nearby Attractions & Things to Do</h2><p>Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to <strong>Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park</strong>, one of the most significant prehistoric sites in the region. History buffs can also visit the Plantation Agriculture Museum nearby to learn about the area's heritage. For those seeking city life, the Clinton Presidential Library and the vibrant River Market District in Little Rock are less than twenty minutes away. The river itself offers excellent opportunities for <strong>boating and fishing</strong>, particularly for bass and crappie.</p><h2>Who This Park Is Best For</h2><p>This park is an ideal match for <strong>nature photographers and birdwatchers</strong> who appreciate the quiet rhythms of the river environment. It serves as an excellent base camp for families who want to combine educational historical visits with traditional camping activities. Because of its smaller size and peaceful environment, it is also perfect for <strong>full-time RVers</strong> seeking a low-key stopover with easy access to the services of a major city without the noise of urban congestion.</p>

Willow Beach COE Park, Scott, AR | RV Camping

This park and campground is fantastic! These photos were taken the weekend before Thanksgiving. The staff was great. The ONLY thing that would make it perfect would be if sites had sewer. There's a dump station for the way out though.

Beautiful waterfront sites with lot of space and privacy. Very affordable Electric and water sites. Even better, it offers discount on national lifetime senior pass! We stopped by for one night on our back home. So happen it was also pecan season.

Beautiful spot right on the edge of the Arkansas River. Awesome sunsets and good fishing. Not very far from Little Rock, or the airport.
Showers are a little dated, but kept very clean by the contractors, as ar the grassed areas. Hosts are friendly and helpful, as are all the people who work here. They obviously take pride in what they do.

Great little spot to spend the night on my way West. I had site f13. Be advised there are a ton of wasps nesting on the underside of the picnic table and the mosquitoes will eat you alive so come prepared. We enjoyed it. It's a beautiful spot to watch sunset and sunrise. Very peaceful

The campground is several miles away from 40 so there is no road noise at all, only the occasional boat or jet ski on the Arkansas River. The site was long enough for us however some of the others would not have fit our truck and trailer. The view of the river was amazing, we would definitely stay here again!

A beautiful park, but needs some TLC. The park is within a short drive to restaurants/stores.  Sites were spacious and being next to the lake was very beautiful (esp. the sunset). You will definitely enjoy a quiet, serene and peaceful stay here. The only problems we encountered were the grass was knee deep around our site and entire park, and our site was covered with tree debris - evidence that no one routinely cleans or maintains the sites or grassy areas. Otherwise, I would have given this park 5 stars.

p.s. Hubs wanted to backwash our black tank but there was no way to hook up a hose at the dump station.

Who doesn't love willows, right? Great spot for fishing and camping. Beautiful and relaxing.  Just the place to put your phones down and enjoy some family (or friends) fun. And with lovely scenery and peaceful quality time to unwind.

I love the atmosphere at Willow Beach Park! Today was absolutely amazing! The park is clean . Every time I visit this park. It’s always clean. If you want to sit out and enjoy a peaceful place of enjoyment with the family. Willow Beach Park is the place. 💯 ❤️❤️❤️

Stayed 2 nights in our Casita travel trailer on the way from NY to TX for rest. Good choice! Roy and his wife Debbie were gracious hosts, good information, kept an eye on all in the park especially late afternoon into the evening by driving thru. Neighbors quiet, friendly, bathrooms decent enough to use. Great to be on the water, especially sunsets. Sites are level, some of the picnic benches have pavilions over them. Also have grill and fire pit near. Next to new children's playground, plenty of space to walk, bicycle within park. There was a wedding in the park and they saw we were from New York and sent us food as a lively way to show southern hospitality. A big thank you!

Went out there to fish but the boat ramps and all the little side banks have DOZENS of water moccasins! The campsite 🏕️ area looks very clean and well taken care of. Do NOT recommend to bank fish this area. We left immediately after seeing 8+ snakes in one area. Will probably be back to drop a boat in and give this area another shot. With that many snakes in the neighborhood I would recommend some snake boots for sure! Give this 2 stars because of the camping area was clean but the rest I didn’t want to even go look due to the amount of snakes in the area.

This is a nice, quiet Army Corp of Engineers park fairly close to downtown Little Rock! We ran into this camper while we were camping for a week. They are a fishing tackle and lure vendor from Illinois heading to the Arkansas State Fair to setup their displays. They’re pretty sure they get just as many waves when they travel the highway as the Weiner mobile!

Nice, Quiet and Level spots. The view is awesome, lots of wide open space, a nice playground. Each site has a picnic table, grill and fire pit. F-6 was level and the picnic table had a pavillion. Bathrooms were clean. I would stay here again!
