RV Overnight Park Review – Little Rock North KOA – Little Rock, Arkansas
Site R2 Patio directly across from the office.
Some of us need them, the elusive overnight location that does not have a Walmart, Cracker Barrel, Love’s, or Cabella attached. Free is great but that is just not for you. You are looking for a safe, inexpensive location with power, water, sewer, and a level place to park without unhooking. Little Rock-North KOA will offer you just that if you pick the right site. Let’s walk it down.

A) Site Quality: ⛺️⛺️⛺️.5/5
This is a bit of a crapshoot when it comes to this location. Don’t get me wrong the folks here are fantastic, friendly, and will work with you. We have stayed here twice, only as overnight so this will be an abbreviated review. I would highly recommend calling them to make your reservation. You could use the KOA portal but you may get a surprise when you arrive. Not all their pull-through sites are created equal. Many have tight exits, putting you in a situation that calls for maneuvering around parked trucks or cars in front of you.
Insights
- This park fills up fast during the late afternoon. They are conveniently located directly from I-40 off I-440. The bulk of their business is that quick overnighter. You will need to call early to pick up a site the same day. Being so close to the highway you will get a bit of road noise if you are in the back-in sites or Y1 -Y13.
- Many of the sites in this park will give you a bit of a wake-up when it comes to picking up and leaving. During our first stay, we were assigned B16 which seemed like a perfectly good back-in. We had a Class A next to us in B17, with his toad park in front of his rig. The turn to exit our site was going to be very tight with his car and the truck parked in site B7. He took notice and moved his vehicle out of the way so we could exit without incident.
- The back-in sites Y14 – Y29 are occupied by long stay patrons. As are many of the Y1-Y13 sites.
- Your best bets for a quick exit without obstructions depending on the length of your rig will be as follows. B1-B4, G11-14, G1-G4, R1-R5, or R9-R14. Be aware not all of these sites are 50 amps sites, many are 30 but that should get you by for the night.
- There is plenty of shade here, many of the sites have large trees. The sites, for the most part, are gravel and somewhat level. The patio sites are concrete and in good shape.
B) Facilities: ⛺️⛺️⛺️.5/5
You have Laundry, Restrooms, Showers, located conveniently in the Main Office building. They are small but well cared for. These are the only facilities in the park. The machines were in perfect working order.
C) Amenities: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5
Pretty typical for a KOA location. You will find a nice pool, spa, Playground, propane a small grocery store, and an Ice Cream Parlor. The Parlor serves homemade local ice cream and it’s good. The pool was just opening up for the season, it was clean, there were tables and lounge chairs available. The Basketball court and horseshoe pit have seen better days. The wi-fi was very good and allowed us to stream, basic cable service, and great water pressure.
D) Location: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5
As I mentioned above this is a perfect overnight location if you choose the right site. You are directly off I-140 & I-440 which as I mentioned will create a little road noise if you are in the back end of the park. You will need to drive a bit if you are looking for a sit-down restaurant but you are here for an overnight. Break out the cooking gear & grill and enjoy the wooded setting. If you want the food to come to you, Papa Johns and American Pie deliver right to your site.
E) Paw – Friendliness – 🐾🐾🐾🐾/5
Zoey gave this park, a big paws up approval. There are two penned in Pet Yards at the north end of the property. Both have grass, not large but give you a good place to relieve your dog. The woods create a nice environment to take walks with your dog as we do. There is plenty of grassy areas throughout the park for extra business. Trash bins are located near the front of the property.

Previous Tips & Upgrades
Tire Pressure Monitor
We have heard hundreds of stories from RVers relating to tire failure. Some of the tire failure issues an RVer may encounter can be a minor nuisance and some failures can be catastrophic.
Truck Lane Fueling
You have finally decided that the RV and Car fill up lanes are not for you when it comes to filling your RV fuel tanks. Highway driving takes you past numerous Travel Centers and you have seen your fellow RVer’s in the Truck Fuel Lanes. Why not give it a go, can’t be that much different from what we are doing now. They say it’s much faster to fuel that way and there is DEF at the pumps.
Magne Shade
The patented Magne Shade™ system uses small but very powerful Rare Earth magnets that are mounted on the outside of the window with a hi temperature 3M peel and stick tape. Our shades are designed to fit your coach glass tight, we incorporate a simple and effective fabric adjustment system in our design so your shades won’t stretch out of shape and sag over time, as a snap-type system can.
Vortex Fan
Great little fan. Sucks so much air it creates a vacumm on our bathroom door. Looks good, overall good quality, fit as easy as claimed, and took all of 40 minutes to install seamlessly. My guess is i could have cut this down with another set of hands.
Bring In The Crane
We use our truck on and off through the year to haul, yard debris, landscaping, mulch and such. The hitch is a 175 lb problem when you want a clean bed to work with. Ginny and I thought we could easily handle the hitch once we took it apart. Not so as we found out,...
Mr. Beam
Interior lighting at night on the RV has always been an issue for us. We struggled with solutions, from flashlights to battery operated led lights. Each had their draw backs, fumbling with switches in the dead of night the main one.
Propane Monitor
Propane management is certainly very important particularly durning cold weather. Yes you can spend $80.00 to install a monitoring system that you can read on your levels on a smart phone.
Microwave Safe
One of our early discoveries while we were on our maiden trip was the glass rotating tray in the microwave presented a problem. As we traveled the tray would take a beating bouncing around as we moved down the road.
