This park is very nice. We rode our bikes through the park very beautiful and quiet and clean. Definitely recommend the ride
The campground was very well kept up and located on the Talimena Scenic Hwy. The short road up to the campground off of US270 (preferred way if you're driving an RV) is more like a wide driveway but very doable. There is an old steam locomotive on display at the state park along with a small train that campers can ride around the campground. Deer coming out to graze are a common site in the evening. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. The only drawback if any would be the absence of sewer hook ups (a dump station is available) and at this date the lodge is still under construction.
I have been here many times and was a little disappointed to see the lodge closed for remodeling where I was there recently. It is a good rest stop along the Talimena trail.
The drive through this park on the border of the Arkansas/Oklahoma line is beautiful with lots of places to stop and just enjoy the view! WE did stop by the lodge which is currently under renovation but should be opening again soon! We have pictures with totem poles made by the Quichata Indians and there are lots of rock stores to explore and find your favorites!
beautiful drive to the park. Views from the park are spectacular, but you must hike to them now. We will go back when the lodge and restaurant reopen.
Great views! There is a store that serves bluebell icecream and has a small train that goes around the mountain.The couple that run the store are super nice and tell you all the good info around the area. I would highly recommend it.
great place to camp or just spend the day lots of hiking trails , beautiful location. mini train ride for youngsters or the young at heart. extremely helpful and friendly employees.
The lodge is being renovated but there's still camping up there. Just a short trip to Mena for any needed supplies. Excellent park atop Rich Mountain and on the scenic and unforgettable Talimena drive. A sight to behold, especially in autumn, with over 20 vista views. In winter though you need to check with the park for road conditions as it is not maintained in most areas. Absolutely love it there! One of my favorite places. Definitely a must see.
Such a beautiful place. What a great view and the family will love it.One of Gods great creations right there.
We stayed here in the RV park area last weekend. It was beautiful very well kept, clean bathrooms! Few people were there so not everyone top of each other like other RV parks. Park volunteers were informative and nice too. Originally we wanted to camp in the Winding Stairs Camp Ground but when we get there it was closed! It wasn't in good condition at all!
