Time to bring your fishing gear back to life on the 30 miles of scenic shoreline at Bear Creek Lake Recreation Area. This place was meant for recreat’n. Visitors indulge in swimming in the cool waters, canoeing through the placid lake, or hanging at the beach with a mouthwatering picnic spread. Cast your line in hopes of hooking some trophy largemouth bass, red-eyed bream, and channel catfish. Break in your boots on miles of scenic trails. At the end of the day, pitch your tent, get cozy by the campfire, and toast to Mother Nature.

We have an 18 acre site with pecan groves and old buildings perfectly situated to be a base for Mississippi Delta explorations to Clarksdale and blues country. Located on the farm where Muddy Waters grew up and was first recorded. RV Sites offer power and water, but no gray water disposal or septic. Short term rentals only. Camping is primitive. Stovall Store hosts sporadic pop-up music events. Visit @TheStovallStore on Facebook for more info or @stovallstore on Insta.

Escape to the quiet and peaceful prairie at Yoder Outpost RV Park — a 2-acre slice of open space just on the outskirts of town, where kids can run free and you can relax and breathe. Nestled in the heart of the Arkansas Grand Prairie, our property offers wide-open views with wildlife just steps away. Ducks and geese often appear within 100 feet of your camper and soar overhead throughout the day. It’s the perfect spot to unplug, unwind, and let nature set the pace. We have two easy RV/tent sites that accommodate vehicles up to 45 ft. Each site features: • Full hookups (water, sewer, and electric) plus Wi-Fi • A fire pit and asphalt pad for evenings under the stars • Pet-friendly space — bring your four-legged partner! • Close proximity to town for easy access to local shops and dining Whether you’re passing through or staying awhile, Yoder Outpost offers a relaxed base in a friendly, natural setting. Gather around the fire, watch the prairie sky shift at sunset, and let the calm of the Grand Prairie work its magic.
