A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
Little Coon Creek Campground sits on the shore of Gillham Lake in southwestern Arkansas, a wooded pocket of shoreline shaped by the Cossatot River. The lake itself covers about 1,370 surface acres with roughly 36 miles of shoreline, and the dam that created the project was completed in 1975; the Cossatot has a National Wild and Scenic River designation upriver.
Length limits vary by campsite.
Showers on site.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,185 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
