We’re not traveling as much in our fifth wheel anymore so I thought it would be fun to relive some of our most memorable days from previous RV trips.
On this day 3 years ago, on September 19, 2016, we were camping at Mississippi River State Park, a small Arkansas park located in the Mississippi Delta on the Crowley’s Ridge Parkway and the Great River Road within the St. Francis National Forest. We had driven through a fierce thunderstorm the day before and were ready to kick back and relax for a day.
We drove into the nearby town of Marianna, Arkansas in the morning to pick up some James Beard Award winning barbeque from Jones Bar-B-Q Diner. We discovered this place on a previous visit and knew that the restaurant often sold out by noon.
With enough food for dinner that night and some extra to put in the freezer to take home, we returned to the campground to do some camp chair sitting in one of the best waterfront campsites we’ve ever had.
This Great Blue Heron, an egret, and some turtles kept us entertained as we enjoyed the peace and quiet for the rest of the day.
Our melt in your mouth delicious pulled pork dinner was a perfect meal to end the day.
There’s more about our stay here at Lakefront Campground, Award Winning Barbeque, Scenic Drives, and Delta History

What a perfect campsite! You know the food must be good if they sell out often!

If you are ever traveling on I-40 it’s worth it to go out of your way to stay there. There are only a few campsites but they are all big waterfront sites.

We really enjoy those moments when we discover that “hole in the wall” eatery with better food then the top rated restaurants listed.

It was interesting to meet Mr. Jones and learn about his secret family recipe and his trip to New York to receive his James Beard award.

It’s a little south of I-40. If you like out of the way places this is it.
