Lake Chicot State Park is a serene destination for those seeking peace and quiet amidst beautiful scenery. Visitors have noted the park's clean and well-kept campground, making it an excellent spot for camping, especially during less busy times. The park is currently undergoing renovations to enhance the camping experience, but the playground, pavilion, lake, and visitor center remain open for enjoyment. Accommodations, particularly the cabins, have received positive feedback for being clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with some even boasting great views of the river and stunning sunsets. While the visitor center has limited hours, the staff is attentive and ensures guests have what they need for a pleasant stay. In addition to its natural beauty, the park offers opportunities for learning about the history of Southeast Arkansas. Fishing enthusiasts will also find it an ideal location to enjoy their favorite pastime. Despite some ongoing construction, Lake Chicot State Park is a welcoming place for families and individuals looking to relax and explore the great outdoors.
Very nice place. Bicycle heaven!!! Pool/splash pad was closed due to lack of staff. Spent so much time at the corps of engineer parks, never realized how nice our state parks were compared to them. It is a world of difference.
