South Abutment is a nice park. There are three campsites, but only one takes reservations. They have done a lot of work here over the last five years. Several of the sites now are completely level and new picnic tables and grills have been added. The bathhouses are clean. There is not a swim beach in the camping area, but it is just a short drive or 10 minute walk. Arkabutla has more water in it currently than it has had in a very long time. We were here over Memorial Day weekend and it was crowded and hot. I am looking forward to doing some cool weather camping here soon.

Heber Springs Park is our favorite campground on Greer's Ferry Lake. It is open from March 1st to October 31st. There are 6 camping areas -- A, B, C, D, E, and F. B and C are primitive and currently closed. A and F have electric and all sites are wooded. E is primitive and all sites are wooded. Now, let's talk about campsite D, the star of this park. Twenty-five of D's 50+ sites are right on the water. Just a few short steps and you can jump into 20+ ft deep cool crystal clear water. Most of the campsites in D can't be reserved. It is first-come, first-serve. We have only ever stayed in campsite D. We have tent camped and trailer camped. We always go in July and heat and bugs are never a problem. My husband fishes some and I love to lounge and float. You can usually see 10 to 15 feet down. If you have smaller children, the single digit sites and the sites in the 40's have shallower "beach" areas. Even if you can't get a site right on the water, there are really no bad sites in this area. There is a boat ramp and a swim beach in the park. The bath houses are clean. Yes, there is only electricity at this park, but there are 3 or 4 areas to fill water tanks. Heber Springs Marina is located within this park and we rent a pontoon every year. You can't beat all day for $300! We absolutely love this park. They even cut and stack firewood if they have to trim trees, for free, how awesome is that!

| Great place, but best in cool weather! | Village Creek State Park is a wonderful place to spend the day or camp for several days. It is located on Crowley's Ridge, just outside of Wynne, AR. It is 20 minutes north of Forrest City and a hour outside of Memphis, TN. It has two small lakes and several trails. Lake Austell has a boat ramp (no large engines) and all the day activities. Lake Dunn also has a boat ramp (no large engines) and dock. There are 10 cabins that can be rented and 3 camp grounds. The lower campground has water and 30 amp electric. The middle campground caters to larger RVs and has level sites, electric, water, and our favorite--sewer hook up! The upper camp ground is an equestrian site with stables.
We have camped here twice this year. The grounds are very clean and well kept. We stayed in lower site for a weekend in late May. It was cool and perfect campfire weather. Our site was shady and the creek was just behind us. We camped in the middle camp ground over the 4th of July and stayed for 5 days this time. We were almost taken away by the mosquitoes. There is a private swim beach for campers at the middle camp ground, but SEVERAL non campers were driving in and using it and the beach area is steep and muddy. Not a place I enjoyed.
Village Creek will be our go-to cool weather campground. I look forward to going back.
