Perfect camping in Arkansas State Parks

There's nothing better than Fall camping. The temperatures are in the 60s and low 70s, the fall colors are beautiful, wildlife is moving to winter homes, warblers are migrating, and waterfowl and eagles are coming in for the winter. This is a wonderful season. WWW.ArkansasStateParks.com has details on each park mentioned here. Plus, you can search by park or month to find programs, events and activities taking place at your favorite Arkansas State Park this fall. Yes, it's November - and in Arkansas that is a fine time of year. Fall colors may be just past their peak in north Arkansas, but in the mid and southern regions the colors are perfect. Here are a few parks that have that perfect November campsite. WHITE OAK LAKE west of Camden. The Arkansas Conservation Amendment has funded a complete renovation of the park's 42 campsites. You'll find perfect campsites among tall pines overlooking the lake. White Oak was just awarded "Region II Park of the Year," attesting to the fine facilities and friendly staff you'll find there. DAISY STATE PARK south of Glenwood. This park lies on the ridges sloping into the clear waters of Lake Greeson. This is the perfect place to see a large number of wintering eagles and enjoy the striking fall colors of the Ouachita Mountains. VILLAGE CREEK STATE PARK near Wynne. These 7,000 acres of diverse Crowley's Ridge forest, which includes native tulip poplar and maple trees, boasts some of the most beautiful fall colors in the mid-south. Campsites, cabins, trails, and two lakes make this a perfect location to enjoy the fall or discover the prehistoric Native Americans interpreted at nearby Parkin Archeological State Park. LAKE CHICOT STATE PARK north of Lake Village. You'll find your perfect campsite on the edge of the largest ox-bow lake in North America. You'll see an abundance of shorebirds, waterfowl and spectacular sunsets right from your campsite or from a lake side cabin. Don't miss the cruise with the park naturalist into the cypress swamps across the lake. MILLWOOD STATE PARK north of Ashdown. This large, timber-filled lake has been a fishing bonanza for years. Plus, its location in Arkansas's southwest corner attracts eastern and western birds creating an equal bonanza for birders. Wintering waterfowl, bald eagles and resident alligators add to the watchable wildlife opportunities. Don't forget your binoculars on the lake tours or when walking Waterfowl Way Trail. You will enjoy your perfect campsite among the southern pines at Lake Millwood, You'll find phone numbers and e-mail addresses for each park and museum at www.ArkansasStateParks.com.
