Jacksonport State Park

What sets Jacksonport State Park Campground apart is its tranquil riverside location along the banks of the White River, coupled with a deep connection to nineteenth-century Arkansas history and thoughtfully maintained facilities. With just 20 campsites, this cozy campground provides a peaceful retreat, featuring modern amenities like electric and water hookups and a nearby dump station, all within the picturesque backdrop of towering trees and open, grassy spaces.

The campground is part of a 164.7-acre park that features fascinating historical elements, including the restored 1872 courthouse-turned-museum, which offers insights into the area’s rich past as a steamboat-era trading hub. Campers have access to a seasonal swimming beach, picnic areas, and the half-mile Tunstall Riverwalk through serene natural scenery. The park’s family-friendly atmosphere is further enhanced by a playground and year-round interpretive programs at the visitor center. Located just three miles from Newport, Arkansas, the campground provides easy access to dining and local attractions, such as the Jacksonport Courthouse Museum and nearby parks.
