Campgrounds near Ward, Arkansas
Ward is a small town in Lonoke County in central Arkansas, sitting along US-67/167 between Cabot and Searcy and roughly 40 miles northeast of Little Rock. The area is flat farmland transitioning into the wooded foothills of the Ozarks, which makes it a practical staging point for RV trips into the mountains, out to the Delta, or south into the capital region.
RV options close to town lean toward small private parks and rural sites. Titan RV Park and Searcy RV Living serve travelers who want full hookups near town amenities, while Ohana Celebration Park and its dedicated Ohana Celebration Park Eclipse 2024 area cater to event and group stays. Cedar Hill Village offers a quieter residential-style setting nearby.
Many travelers use Ward as a base and drive out to public lands. Greers Ferry Lake, roughly an hour north, is managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and hosts more than a dozen campgrounds, and several Arkansas State Parks lie within a two-hour radius.
Things to do near Ward
Water recreation is the main draw. Greers Ferry Lake covers roughly 31,500 acres with more than 340 miles of shoreline, offering swimming beaches, boat ramps, and fishing for striped bass, walleye, and crappie. The tailwater on the Little Red River below the dam is a well-known trout fishery for rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout.
Day trips from Ward also reach Pinnacle Mountain State Park west of Little Rock for hiking with panoramic views, and Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park near Scott for interpretive trails around ancient Native American earthworks. In North Little Rock, the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum houses a decommissioned submarine along the Arkansas River.
Closer in, Searcy has restaurants, a historic downtown square, and Harding University events. Cabot offers grocery runs, fuel, and RV supplies without a long drive back to camp.

Central Arkansas has a humid subtropical climate with hot, muggy summers, mild winters, and rain spread across all seasons. Spring and fall are the most comfortable stretches for RV travel, with daytime highs in the 70s Fahrenheit and cooler nights that make hookups optional rather than essential.
Spring brings the year's heaviest rainfall, peaking in April and May, along with the region's severe-weather season. Thunderstorms and occasional tornado watches are common, so travelers should monitor National Weather Service alerts and pick campgrounds with sturdy shelter or nearby storm-safe buildings. Several Corps of Engineers campgrounds around Greers Ferry Lake, including Old Highway 25 and Shiloh, operate only from mid-May through mid-September, while year-round or extended-season camping is available at select locations including John F Kennedy campground.
Summer is hot and busy at lake campgrounds, with holiday weekends filling first. Winter is quiet, with light snow possible but usually short-lived, and most private RV parks in the Ward and Searcy area stay open year-round.

How to book campsites near Ward
Private parks in the immediate Ward area, including Titan RV Park, Searcy RV Living, Ohana Celebration Park, and Cedar Hill Village, are typically booked directly by phone or through the operator's website. Monthly and extended stays are common in this corridor because of nearby workforce demand, so calling ahead is the surest way to confirm nightly availability.
Arkansas State Parks open camping reservations up to 12 months in advance through arkansasstateparks.com, with a two-night minimum on weekends and a three-night minimum on holiday weekends. Corps of Engineers sites at Greers Ferry Lake are booked through Recreation.gov, and lakefront loops for summer weekends should be reserved as early as the window allows.
What to expect on the ground
Expect a mix of small-town private RV parks with gravel or concrete pads, full hookups, and simple amenities rather than resort-style facilities. Terrain is generally flat around Ward itself, so leveling is straightforward and big rigs can maneuver most local sites without difficulty.
Cell coverage is strong along the US-67/167 corridor and weakens on backroads and around Greers Ferry Lake's coves. Summer humidity is intense, and biting insects, including mosquitoes and chiggers, are active from late spring through early fall, so screens, repellent, and long pants for evening walks are worth packing.
Groceries, fuel, propane, and RV parts are easy to source in Cabot, Searcy, or Jacksonville. Bring shade options for summer stays, since many private sites have limited tree cover compared with the wooded Corps campgrounds up at the lake.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Ward, AR
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Ward, AR?
RV rental in Ward is an affordable way to explore central Arkansas. On RVezy, expect roughly $75 to $150 per night for a travel trailer or pop-up, $125 to $225 per night for a Class C motorhome, and $200 to $325 per night for a larger Class A. Because Ward sits in a less-touristed pocket of Lonoke County, prices often beat what you would pay in Little Rock or Hot Springs. To find a cheap RV rental in Ward, book midweek, travel in March or November during shoulder season, and sort listings by price. Many hosts also discount weekly stays by 10 to 20 percent.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ward%2C%20ArkansasWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Ward, Arkansas?
For nearly every RV rental in Ward, your regular Class D driver's license is all you need. Arkansas only requires a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for vehicles over 26,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), and almost every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, travel trailer, and fifth wheel on RVezy falls comfortably below that limit. RVezy approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and you verify your ID through the platform during checkout with no DMV visit required. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit and you are road-ready for your Arkansas RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Ward covered if something goes wrong?
Yes, and that is one of the best parts of booking through RVezy. Every RV rental in Ward booking includes an RVezy renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered for eligible damages to the vehicle and have help just a phone call away if you get a flat on I-40 or run into engine trouble near Greers Ferry Lake. You choose your level of protection during checkout, not the host, so you can match peace of mind to your budget. Book with confidence: your trip is backed from pickup to drop-off.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Ward, AR RV rental?
Plans change, and RVezy makes it low-risk to lock in your Ward RV trip. RVezy sets the cancellation policy across the platform (not individual hosts), and it includes a grace-period window after booking where you can get a full refund. After that, refunds depend on how far out your trip is and the specific circumstances. For full details, review the cancellation policy in the RVezy Help Center or contact RVezy support. Bottom line: you do not have to wait for the perfect forecast to book.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Ward, AR RV trip?
Absolutely, central Arkansas is dog-country and pet-friendly RV rental in Ward is easy to find on RVezy. Use the Pet-Friendly filter when searching and you'll see plenty of hosts who welcome four-legged co-pilots (sometimes for a small pet fee or refundable deposit). Most Arkansas State Parks and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds around Greers Ferry Lake and the Little Red River allow leashed pets in campsites and on trails. Pro tip: Woolly Hollow State Park, about 45 minutes west of Ward, has a leashed-pet swimming area and shaded loop trails perfect for tired pups after a day in the RV.
arkansasstateparks.com/parks/woolly-hollow-state-parkCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Ward?
Yes, RV delivery in Ward is a game-changer, especially if it is your first time renting an RV. Many RVezy hosts in the Ward, Cabot, and Searcy area will drive the RV to your campsite, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Popular delivery destinations include Greers Ferry Lake Corps of Engineers parks (about an hour north), Woolly Hollow State Park, and Burns Park in North Little Rock. Filter for Delivery on your search, message the host with your destination, and confirm any per-mile delivery fee. You show up, the RV is set up and waiting, and your vacation starts the moment you arrive.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ward%2C%20ArkansasHow far can I drive on a Ward, AR RV trip?
Plenty far. Ward sits in a sweet spot on Highway 67/167, about 35 miles northeast of Little Rock and within easy reach of some of the South's best outdoor playgrounds. Many RVezy hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and several offer RV rental with unlimited mileage if you ask. Popular drives include Greers Ferry Lake (about 60 miles, 1 hour 15 minutes), Hot Springs National Park (about 90 miles, 1 hour 45 minutes), Petit Jean State Park (about 95 miles, 2 hours), Mount Magazine (about 140 miles, 2.5 hours), and Memphis, TN (about 135 miles, 2 hours 15 minutes). Check the mileage policy on each listing and message the host if you need extra miles for a longer RV road trip from Ward.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ward%2C%20ArkansasWhere are the best campgrounds near Ward, AR?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Ward, AR. The best campgrounds near Ward include: John F. Kennedy Campground on the Little Red River (year-round, electric hookups, world-class trout fishing about 50 miles north); Old Highway 25 Campground on Greers Ferry Lake (shaded sites, lake access, mid-May to mid-September); Cove Creek and Devils Fork on Greers Ferry Lake (electric sites and boat ramps); Burns Park Campground in North Little Rock (full hookups, 30 minutes south); and Woolly Hollow State Park (water/electric sites and a swim lake, 45 minutes west). All Corps of Engineers sites book through Recreation.gov, so reserve early for summer weekends.
recreation.gov/gateways/537When is the best time to plan an RV trip from Ward, AR?
Spring (mid-March to late May) and fall (late September through early November) are the sweet spots for an RV road trip from Ward. Daytime temperatures sit between 65 and 80 degrees F, evenings are crisp, and Ozark foliage in October is stunning. Summer (June through August) gets genuinely hot, with average highs near 90 degrees F and heat index readings often topping 100, so plan early-morning drives and campgrounds with shade or lake access. Winters are mild, with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s, and many Corps of Engineers parks like John F. Kennedy stay open year-round, making Ward one of the few places you can comfortably RV in January. Book mid-October for peak foliage and cool nights.
forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=35.03036&lon=-91.95042I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay?
You will be more than okay. First time renting an RV in Ward is genuinely easy. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, slide-outs, the generator, water and waste tanks, awnings, and propane, so you leave knowing exactly how everything works. Hosts share their cell number too, so if you forget how to dump tanks at the John F. Kennedy Campground dump station, you can text a quick question. Start with a smaller Class B campervan or Class C motorhome (easier to drive than a full Class A), book a delivery option for your first trip, and pick a close-by destination like Greers Ferry Lake for a confidence-building shakedown weekend.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ward%2C%20ArkansasWhat happens if I break down during my Ward RV trip?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 67, a dead battery at Cove Creek, or an engine warning light near Searcy is a phone call, not a crisis. Roadside can dispatch help for towing, jump-starts, tire changes, lockouts, and fuel delivery. Your host is also just a text away for quick questions about the specific rig. Save the roadside number in your phone before you leave Ward and snap a photo of your RV's VIN and license plate so you have everything ready if you ever need to call.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my RV rental across state lines from Ward, AR?
Yes, interstate RV travel is part of the fun and allowed from Ward. Popular cross-state runs include Memphis, Tennessee (about 2 hours 15 minutes east on I-40), Branson, Missouri (about 3.5 hours north), Tulsa, Oklahoma (about 5 hours west), and the Mississippi Gulf Coast (around 7 hours south). Travel within the United States is covered by the RVezy protection plan on every booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals due to insurance limitations. If you are planning a multi-state RV road trip from Ward, give your host a heads-up on your route so they know your plans. I-40 east toward Memphis is mostly flat and beginner-friendly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on an Arkansas RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest cost after the rental itself, but Arkansas is one of the cheaper states to fill up. Gas prices around Ward typically run below the national average. Realistic fuel economy: Class B campervans get 18-22 MPG, Class C motorhomes get 8-12 MPG, Class A motorhomes get 6-10 MPG, and a truck towing a travel trailer averages 10-14 MPG. For a 4-day, 400-mile loop from Ward to Greers Ferry Lake and back, budget roughly $120 to $250 in fuel depending on rig size. Fill up at a major travel center in North Little Rock before heading north, as prices climb as you get deeper into the Ozarks.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Ward?
For the most popular spots, book early, but flexibility wins. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds at Greers Ferry Lake (Cove Creek, Devils Fork, Old Highway 25, John F. Kennedy) open reservations on Recreation.gov six months in advance, and summer holiday weekends fill within hours of the booking window opening. Arkansas State Parks like Woolly Hollow also use a six-month rolling window through ArkansasStateParks.com. Private parks like Burns Park RV Park and KOA Little Rock North take reservations year-round and often have last-minute openings. Pro tip: midweek Sunday through Thursday in shoulder season is the secret sauce, plenty of availability, smaller crowds, and the lakes feel like your own backyard.
recreation.gov/gateways/537What are driving conditions like around Ward, AR?
Driving an RV around Ward is refreshingly low-stress, this is flat, open country in the Arkansas Delta foothills. Highway 67/167 (a four-lane divided highway) runs right past Ward, making pickup and delivery easy. Heading north toward Greers Ferry Lake on AR-5 and AR-25 you'll hit gently rolling Ozark foothills with a few curves but nothing extreme. Watch for spring thunderstorms (March through May) that can bring strong crosswinds and occasional tornado warnings, and summer pop-up storms in late afternoon. Avoid driving large rigs through downtown Little Rock at rush hour (7-9 AM, 4-6 PM); take I-440 around instead. Pro tip: tune to NOAA Weather Radio 162.475 MHz for central Arkansas alerts.
ardot.gov/travel-information/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Ward?
You'll find a great mix. Most U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds around Greers Ferry Lake offer 30/50-amp electric, potable water spigots, picnic tables, fire rings, hot showers, flush toilets, and centralized dump stations (not at every site, but at the campground entrance or exit). Arkansas State Parks like Woolly Hollow add water/electric pads and some full-hookup sites. Private parks like Burns Park RV Park in North Little Rock typically offer full hookups (water, sewer, electric) at every site plus Wi-Fi and laundry. Where to fill water: every developed campground has a fill station near the dump. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a 30-to-50-amp adapter to fit any setup.
swl.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Lakes/Greers-Ferry-Lake/Recreation-Activities/Campgrounds/What's inside a typical RV rental from Ward?
More creature comforts than you would expect. A typical RVezy rental in Ward comes with a real bed (queen or king in many Class C and Class A motorhomes), a kitchen with fridge/freezer, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, roof air conditioning, a furnace for chilly Arkansas nights, and seatbelts for travel passengers. Many rigs include a TV, Wi-Fi boosters or hotspots, and a generator or solar for off-grid stays. Larger motorhomes add slide-outs that nearly double living space when parked. Each listing spells out exactly what is included, so you know before you book. Filter by Sleeps to match your group size, family RV trips from Ward often prefer a bunkhouse layout.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ward%2C%20ArkansasWhat add-ons and options can I get with my Ward, AR RV rental?
Hosts on RVezy offer all kinds of extras. Popular add-ons for a motorhome rental in Ward include camping chairs and tables, bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits with pots and dishes, generators, bike racks, kayaks, propane fill-ups, and pre-stocked RV-safe toilet paper and chemicals. Hosts set their own pricing and mileage policies, with many including 100-150 miles per night and offering extra miles for around $0.25 to $0.50 each. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Ward, Cabot, or Searcy, and many offer delivery to nearby campgrounds for a flat fee. Message the host before booking to confirm add-ons, you can usually customize the package to match exactly what your trip needs.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ward%2C%20ArkansasHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy at booking with a credit or debit card, with no cash changing hands at pickup. Security deposits are handled separately from the booking payment and are typically held on your card (not charged) and released after the host confirms the RV was returned in good shape with the tanks dumped and fuel topped off. To avoid surprises, take date-stamped photos of the RV inside and out at pickup and drop-off, return it on time at the agreed fuel and propane level, and follow the host's cleaning expectations. Ask the host upfront about their dump and refuel policy, a 10-minute fill-up beats a cleanup fee every time.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Ward during winter?
Yes, and winter is a hidden gem for an Arkansas RV trip. Ward winters are mild, with average highs in the upper 40s to low 50s F and lows in the low 30s, so you can comfortably camp through January with a properly winterized RV. Many RVezy hosts in the area keep rigs available year-round with heated holding tanks, propane furnaces, and electric heaters for shore-power sites. Year-round campgrounds nearby include John F. Kennedy on the Little Red River (legendary winter trout fishing) and Burns Park in North Little Rock. Message the host to confirm cold-weather features before booking, then enjoy quieter campgrounds, off-peak rates, and crisp clear nights perfect for stargazing.
