Pecan Grove RV Park — Local services in Eudora

Stayed here many of times! A few things to note when staying are what is in the park’s control and what is not.

Not in their control:

-mosquitos, the whole area is full of them. Between the Mississippi River, rice fields, and Lake Chicot there is a lot of places for them to breed. That’s just a fact of the south. Bring bug spray and make sure to use screen doors/windows.

cell service, it’s a regional thing most of the surrounding area has minimal service, makes it great to just get away from reality for awhile and chill out but not so great if you are wanting to just play on your phone the whole time.

The old trees, this one is a mix. Because on one hand they provide shade but on the other because of their age, they are prone to dropping limbs in storms. The owners have been trimming them or removing them to keep people safe but that also cuts back on the shade.

the highway, yes it’s noisy. Not as much as staying in the city but it’s not silent either. If noise is concerned, I would suggest staying farther off from the highway. But the highway being there is something that the owners can’t control.

In their control:

-the internet. Has not been the best and often won’t connect or is slow BUT they were working on installing high speed fiber optic internet the last time I was there, so super excited to see it up and running next time!

keeping the campsites maintained. This has honestly depended on when I have visited, back to the “not in their control” is if it has rained a ton, then it’s a muddy mess. But that’s because their is only so much water the ground can absorb. They’ve consistently been working on fixing the gravel and adding concrete pads the last few years so this has improved greatly!

-cleanliness of cabins. Keeping in mind you will never get rid of the mosquitos, I have never had a problem with any roaches, bedbugs, or other critter. They have always been clean and well maintained. They definitely have an old style vibe but that honestly matches the area. The delta has a dated yet rich history. Highly recommend the flood museum in Greenville, Ms!

-friendliness of staff, I have never had a problem with the staff, they have always been kind and courteous. That being said they are no nonsense. If you are expecting to come in and be rude and demanding and just have them bend to your will because “the customer is always right”. Remember that it is a family owned business not a corporation. There is not a CEO trying to make a buck any way they can. It’s a family that has made a business to provide a service the was missing from the area. They don’t have to put up with unnecessary rudeness.

-updated facilities. A lot has changed these last few times I have visited, improved dock, updated bathhouse, improved pavilion. It’s nice to see things getting a facelift!

All and all I have always enjoyed my stays here and look forward to...

Overall, this is a great campground, and one we intend to visit again. We stayed 30 days, and found their monthly rate outstanding. Nearly all sites are pull-through gravel, nicely angled from the roads for easy-in easy-out, though there are some back-in and four concrete pad sites as well. The campground borders a highway on the east, with an oxbow lake beyond that, and fields on the west. The more to the east (higher number) your site is, the better your view of the lake, though the more noise you'll get from the road, which gets a lot of truck traffic. The sites to the north (later alphabet) end are generally well shaded, while those to the south are in full sun. Depending on your own preferences, that could influence where you want to be. We were in the south, to the east, so we had full sun and a fantastic view. Some of the sites are much larger than others. Ours (6D) was easily long enough for us to park our full-size truck in front, with space between the truck and 45' trailer, and the trailer still easily forward enough to open the garage ramp within the site. Utilities were fine, with good water pressure, etc. We had full hookups, 50A, but I'm not sure if all sites have that. Lake Village is a nice little town, and what you can't get there, you can get in Greenville, right across the border. There aren't nearly the hiking opportunities here that we've found in some other places, though the campground is nice to walk around, as is the grassy field between the campground and the farm fields beyond. With all the water nearby, you might expect a lot of bug problems, but aside from some nasty biting flies when we were setting up (didn't encounter them again all month), we had little problem with that, possibly because of the huge numbers of dragonflies. We never could get our equipment, even a roof-mounted King antenna, to even see the campground wifi, much less connect to it, but normally that wouldn't be an issue as we use our cell service for Internet. Unfortunately, mine (T-Mobile) was often not even good enough to make calls, and seldom good enough for Internet beyond the minimum. My wife's (Verizon) was a bit better, but still not the level you'd want for streaming services. Meanwhile, our TV was unable to find any over-the-air stations, so I'd call the area "under-served" in those respects. Everything in the park seemed clean and well-maintained. We're self-contained, but did see the bathroom/shower/laundry facilities, and they seemed clean and functional. There's a wide mix of residents here, from some very long-term setups complete with extensive additions, to medium-term like we were, to overnight. All of the grassy areas were safe for dog-walking, with none of the burrs or stickers we've found in some other campgrounds. There's also a small, enclosed dog park where you can let your dog...

Pine Grove is primarily a stop-over park in a mostly secluded area or souteast Arkansas. The photos on the site can be a little misleading since many are of things other than this particular park, however, if you are looking for a place to stop and rest in a place that is quiet, this is it. The sites are mostly grass and gravel, with a few "deluxe" sites that are concrete. Adequate room between sites to open slideouts and awning, but you must enjoy your neighbors. The bathouse is dated, but very clean, and a nice laundry room with many seemilngly older book choices if you need something to do. There is also a decent playground for the kiddos, as well as a central firepit with seating. The cabins on site make the place resemble an old plantation, with vibrant colours. The highway noise could be a problem if you are toward the front of the property, but not too bad in the back. Most campers seem to be long-term workers in the area. The park was in need of a good clean-up when we arrived, with piles of small limbs from the pecan trees close to our site that appears to have been there a while. The next morning, however brought the sound of mowing, at least in the area of unoccupied sites. We were in deluxe 2, which had morning shade from the old growth pecan tree, as well as a mostly level concrete pad. Hook-ups were in a great place between sites, but a little too close for comfort if you have a neighbor. The best part for us was the hedge of Gardenia in full-fragrant bloom close to the site ! Good for a rest site, or if you are here fishing the lake, (also has a cleaning station), but not much else to do, but relax, which is why we stopped in the...
