It offers a balanced mix of modern conveniences and primitive charm, making it a reliable stop for those exploring the Natural State’s river valleys.

Location & Surroundings
Nestled near the small community of Jersey, the park is surrounded by the lush bottomland hardwood forests typical of the region. The geography is shaped by the winding river, creating a serene backdrop for every campsite. The area is a haven for local wildlife, and visitors often enjoy the sounds of the forest while relaxing under the shade of mature loblolly pines. Its remote feel offers a genuine escape from the bustle of city life, yet it remains easily accessible via Arkansas Highway 15 for those traveling through the southern part of the state.

Beyond the hookups, the park features a full-service marina with a boat ramp, slips, and rentals for those eager to get on the water. A modern visitor center with interpretive exhibits, a playground for children, and clean bathhouse facilities ensure a comfortable and educational stay for all guests.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor recreation is the heart of the experience here, with premier fishing for crappie, bream, and largemouth bass. The Deer Run Trail provides a scenic route for walkers looking to spot white-tailed deer or migratory birds. For those willing to drive a short distance, the nearby city of El Dorado offers historic charm and cultural events, while the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge provides even deeper immersion into Arkansas’s wetlands and birdwatching opportunities.
Who This Park Is Best For
Moro Bay is a perfect match for avid anglers and families who want a safe, quiet place to explore the outdoors.

CLEANEST CAMPGROUND EVER! We 100% enjoyed our weekend at Moro Bay! We have 6 & 10 yr old girls, two dogs, and a yearning to still relax. This was just the place! The playground is amazing, our dogs enjoyed the space, and we had a view of the water when we woke up each morning. The ladies were cleaning the bathrooms/showers each morning when I went at 7:00. The bathrooms were prestige, the showers were great, and the whole place was EXACTLY what we needed!

Absolutely beautiful. Small park but extremely clean. Nice trails.

A little bit out of the way, but the people working at the visitor center were nice and I got my passport stamp. Looks like a good place to fish and I saw a few fish jumping out of the water. 05/22/2025

Awesome place, just the antiqe ferry makes this place worth the admission (free). A great place to pack a lunch and have a picnic

I was last at Moro Bay in Late 2023. The park is a whole lot different in the spring. The trail is marked better, the day was cooler. An enjoyable hike of just about a mile from the parking area at the docks to the trail and back. Mostly level, sandy soil. Easy hike for young and old.

Extremely pleased with my experience! The cabins did not disappoint and I could not recommend them more. Talk about glamping--every cooking utensil was provided and the living quarters were perfectly cozy. The park rangers were friendly and worked with us when we had an issue getting to the park on check-in day. Extremely satisfied visitor! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for comfort, cleanliness, customer service, amenities, and natural beauty!

This State Park is a nice park that caters mostly to fisherman. But we stayed in a cabin with our family and enjoyed it immensely (minus the maintenance staff that invaded unannounced a few hours before we were going to check out. We were pushed to check out early because of this, but the other staff were very apologetic.) The cabins are VERY nice though, and the view of the water out the entire back side makes it feel as though the cabins are in the water. We also enjoyed the ferry/tugboat exhibit and the animal information inside the visitor's center. All of the staff in the visitor's center were some of the nicest we have met in the many AR state parks we have visited.

Very cool state park, although small. 5 nice 2nd story cabins as you enter the park. Small exhibits in the visitors center. Theres a small marina. The old ferry was really interesting to walk on and check it out. The RV camping sites have about half of them overlooking the water. Very nice playground. Seems like a nice place for families with kids.
