About
Lake Charles State Park is an Arkansas State Park with 55 campsites available for camping.
Fees
Nightly rates vary by site and date - the exact price for each campsite shows in the reservation system when you pick your dates. As a rough anchor, a no-hookup site at Delta Heritage Trail is $16 a night. Sites are graded by hookups: Class AAA (water, electric, sewer), AA (water, 30-amp, sewer), A (water, 50-amp), B (water, 30-amp), C (water only), D (no hookups). Discounts: Arkansas residents 62+ pay half price Sunday-Thursday and 25% off weekends and holidays; visitors 62+ from out of state get 25% off Sunday-Thursday; and anyone with a 100% permanent disability pays half price year-round. Bring proof of eligibility.
