Burns Park Campground
Overview
Overview
Burns Park Campground serves as a peaceful gateway for travelers visiting North Little Rock, Arkansas. Managed by the city, this campground is situated within the expansive 1,700-acre Burns Park, which ranks among the largest municipal parks in the United States. The setting is notably scenic and mature, offering a quiet escape from the bustle of city life while remaining conveniently integrated into the local infrastructure. It provides a straightforward, no-frills experience for those who appreciate nature.
Location & Surroundings
Located just off Interstate 40, the campground offers easy highway access for big-rigs and long-haul travelers passing through Arkansas. The park is nestled along the banks of the Arkansas River, providing a lush backdrop of tall trees and rolling terrain. Despite its proximity to major transportation corridors, the area maintains a distinct sense of seclusion. The surroundings are defined by dense forest canopy and winding trails, making it feel more like a woodland retreat than an urban park.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground offers a variety of site types to accommodate different setups, ranging from tents to large motorhomes. Guests can take advantage of full hookup options including water, electricity, and sewer access. Common facilities include clean bathhouses with showers and an on-site dump station. The campground layout emphasizes a relaxed atmosphere, with paved interior roads and shaded spots that provide a comfortable environment for both short-term stays and longer visits during the milder seasons of the year.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Staying at Burns Park provides immediate access to extensive outdoor recreation. Visitors can explore the miles of hiking trails that weave through the park or spend time at the on-site golf course and tennis center. For those interested in local history and culture, downtown Little Rock is just a short drive away. Guests often enjoy visiting the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum or crossing the river to explore the vibrant dining and entertainment districts located on the opposite shore.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is ideal for RVers who prioritize convenient highway access and natural surroundings over luxury resort amenities. It is a perfect fit for families looking for a home base to explore the Little Rock area, as well as retirees seeking a quiet, affordable stopover. If you enjoy outdoor recreation and want to remain close to city amenities without being situated in a dense, crowded RV park, Burns Park is an excellent choice for your itinerary.

I agree with the comment of Jason below. Nice park and very quiet. Of course, there is no swimming pool, bar, shop, or other stuff, it’s wilder, with a lovely forest behind

Okay park right off Interstate 40. Road in is pretty narrow. Woman in office is very friendly. We were in site 54 which is gravel. Don't generally mind that but the gravel sites are so built up be careful as you back in so you don't go over the side. My only real complaint are people who leave their dogs unattended in their RVs. We listened to our neighbors two dogs barking for over an hour before they settled down. I understand one's need for a pet but leaving them cooped up all day is cruel IMHO.

This RV park is well kept and has extremely beautiful scenery. The woods around the park is perfect for a stroll with your significant other or a pooch or two. I also like how close it is to restaurants and stores, but still far enough away to avoid the noises from them. It's very quiet at night and most of the time during the day. The only cons to this park is that the Wi-Fi is a bit weak. Also, where the electrics and water is located on a few spots, you'll need an extra hose or electric extension to reach it. The helpful and friendly management more than make up for those few cons. I have had nothing but great experiences with them. You can tell they care about the park. I highly recommend Burns RV park, whether it's for a day or a week, it's well worth it. 5 stars for this place!

Site 54 is terrible - avoid at all costs! We were not forewarned that the electrical box was over 15 feet away or that we would need 75 feet of hose to connect to water. They also never mentioned that our site shares a water spigot with the site behind it (33, I believe). When we called to make the reservation, they didn't mention any of this to us. When they called us the day before arrival to verify we were still going to show, they did not mention this. When they gave us our registration packet when we checked in, they did not mention this. We felt like idiots walking around trying to find our water connection. We've never been to an RV park where we had to share a spigot so we did not think to hook into someone else's. Also, this site is next to the bathhouse and people will park in front of your site and block you in. The light from the bathhouse is so bright it lit up our bedroom despite our black shades. We didn't not sleep well the couple nights we stayed at this park. We will never stay here again.
