This place rocks! Clean and quiet. (Unless your neighbor has violent Tourrette Syndrome... but that was funny enough.) Our new favorite State Park! The squirrels even came to visit us and eat some of our cinnamon rolls.

A really beautiful place. Lots of wildlife to observe. The grounds are so nice and the visitor center is great! There are clean restrooms, water and snacks, a gift shop, a fun kid's learning area, big fish tanks and learning opportunities. There are benches and trails and lots of picnic spots with grills.

Lovely state park with no entrance fee. The staff inside was super friendly and personable! Nice displays inside the visitors center. We could take our dog around in his stroller or on the hiking paths! Grounds were clean and well kept! I would definitely go back if in the area again!

Camped two nights in tents sites 60 and 61 with 6 adults and 5 young children and two dogs. We had the best time. Grounds and facilities are all excellently maintained, making us feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommend and kudos to the wonderful and dedicated maintenance staff. 🙂

Very nice campground. We were in the Dardanelle area—very quiet. Nice view of the lake. Water & electric only at the site, wide dump station with a small dumpster at the site; I wish more dump stations would do that! Site was asphalt & gravel. It rained most of the time we were there. The site gets muddy. Our groundcloth helped a lot. Showers & toilets are combined into one room and are spacious. 5 rooms in our campground. Floors are concrete. Older but they had been swept & mopped. Sink & toilet was clean. Plenty of toilet paper. I recommend this park.

Wonderful visitor center; educational and great for all ages! Walking paths, paved and a jetty to walk out on and fish or sit on the bench at the end and watch the water and herons! Great covered picnic areas with grills too. Kayak rentals were available across from the pavilion.

A great place to take the kids or yourself. The inside of the visitors center is very clean and has a gift shop, mini aquarium to see large and different fish, a bee colony, and spots where you can walk around the lake a little bit. Very nice place and glad it's here.

Super fun indoor visitor center with aquariums and teaching/play areas! It was nice and cool on a hot day. The lake scenery can be seen through some huge windows in the AC with comfortable chairs or out on the deck. We didn't see what was offered in the theater since we didn't have time to stay. It's definitely worth going back to visit and spend more time learning about the area and lake.

A gorgeous park on the lake. We went for fishing and it was beautiful and very peaceful. The area is clean and easy to access. The visitors center has a very cool aquarium inside as well as a small assortment of snacks.

Loved everything about this park. Laura T was so helpful at the visitor center, the campsites were awesome and there's so much to do at the Park and the town! Highly recommend camping here!

Lake Dardanelle State Park is an absolutely beautiful place and is a must see for the young and old alike! I attended a field trip with my grandson at the state park during the fall, and the fall foliage was breathtaking. There is a lot to do at the park. The visitor center alone is super educational for all ages with a gorgeous view of the lake. The staff were so friendly and told my grandsons school to please come back again. The playground area was a hit with the little ones, and you will want to stroll the camping area and marina, too! Two beautiful piers to walk out onto the water and fish or just relax and enjoy the sites. Lots of locals walk/run in the state park, and with the views, it's differently worth the drive in from town. As my grandson and I drove through the park one last quick look, we agreed we will be back soon and bring the fam!
