Petit Jean State Park, AR: Information


Petit Jean State Park, OK, Feb 2024

Park Information

  • Do not take the route listed in the park website. This will take you up a hill with sharp turns. This path is guaranteed to make Mackie sick. The route listed had a gradual incline, so no barfing cat. ๐Ÿ™‚
  • Many sites along the water but only a few that are actually next to the water with dining room table water view. Site 19 would have view of the water and long enough for trailer.
  • Lots of great hiking and biking around the park. Biking has strenuous hills.
  • Large restaurant and visitor center. Restaurant food was OK, but it is not great.
  • Loop A & B had full hookups. Loops B was redone in 2024. Loop C had a lot of trees, and it would not work for big rigs.
  • Mostly tree covered which would make Starlink service questionable. Since US Cellular no longer exists, the quality of cell service is unknown.
  • The park does not have laundry.
  • The park is well maintained with a lot of hiking trails and a several mile paved bike trail.
  • The lake has a 10 hp limit, and it would be good for kayaking, unless it was winter.

Bathroom / Dump Station / Water Stations

  • Loop A bathrooms were group bathrooms. Loop B had a new bathhouse with individual shower / toilet stalls.
  • Full hookups, so did not use the dump stations
  • Water pressure and quality were acceptable

Phone / Internet Service

  • T-Mobile:
  • Cricket Mobile:
  • Starlink: The campgrounds are forested, so fully obstructed away from the water and partially obstructed at water side sites.

I don’t have a selfie, but was sent the below picture while in the park. So, I figure it is the next best thing.
