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.
Wanderers Overall Rating: ⛺️⛺️⛺️.8/5
Previous Tips & Upgrades
SoftStart Install
I’ve joined the club, SoftStart club that is. We will be headed to Canada this summer and I knew we will be facing a number of 30amp sites on our journey. We wanted to be sure we had both our AC units available during our stay. After watching a number of YouTube videos describing the installation and how they worked, I was sold.
Drawer Dividers
The age-old problem in most kitchens that calls for dividers in the drawers to keep your stuff organized. No one likes to reach into a drawer only to find that you have to dig to the bottom to find what you need. On an RV this can be particularly frustrating as the “Stuff” gets put into the rough road blender and scattered in the drawers.
Traveling With Dogs
Traveling with your pets and in our case Zoey a 75 lb. Yellow Labrador was one of the primary reasons we wanted an RV. Boarding Zoey every time we wanted to take a vacation or just day trip or two was just not working. Once we committed to the RV lifestyle we learned rather quickly that this would call for some advance planning. Our new challenge would be preparing for a month or longer trips. We have put together a shortlist of some tips and suggestions we have for traveling with your dog, big or small. This certainly is not a definitive list and we would love to hear from you regarding your preparation. So let’s get started with some of the basics
AC Silencer
The WackO Products DA100 is an air conditioner silencer kit that allows you to run your A/C unit without all the noise. Never try listening to your TV over your air conditioner or being kept awake by the unbearable noise ever again.
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.
