Arkansas Welcome Center

I pulled in but nearly missed the exit-- it's tight. 
Pulled to  the rear where the long RV spots are located.
As stated by others it's not well lit but light enough to walk my dog without a light. I felt safe -- but was aware of my surroundings and always have a handgun in my pocket. If anyone gets close I have my hand in my pocket  on that gun.
I never felt I was at risk or danger. I do pay attention!!

RV’s stay away after dark. Stopped in just before workers left mentioned we would stay a few hours for I bit to eat in our RV and would head out later. RV parking totally different area then car area. 8pm SUV pulls in behind me 5 minutes later car pulls in and totally blocked me in. I guess they were not planning to run into a retired LEO (law enforcement officer) I went after the one in front explained it would be wise to move. He saw it my way. Facility needs security, and to turn on all the lights in the parking lot. I noticed every other street light in the parking lot is turned off. State of Arkansas needs to take some action or they’re leaving themselves open for litigation.

After passing on the Walmart I drive over to this spot. There was a sign saying RVs go to a completely dark lot behind the Welcome center. Nobody else was back there. So I pulled into the front lot for cars. It was at least well lit and could be seen from the highway. No RVs or campers there - just cars idling with their lights on again. I had to pass on this spot and headed east to the excellent Bass Pro shop in Memphis.

It has a good area with tables and bbq. Nice place. Highway at 1000’. Restrooms but not shower. 

8 RV only sites, no trucks, with good facilities. Close to interstate 40 noise but that is the only issue.  And nothing big for us. Slept fine. I will stay here again. 

The parking area for RVs is not very well lit if you arrive after dark. There are about 7 spots. No trucks allowed. Quite a bit of traffic noise. Restrooms were very clean. The whole place looked clean and neat. There was no one around when we stopped and no other cars or RVs. We appreciated the one night stop. 

We stopped here to rest and have a bite to eat...Great stop...Clean Restrooms...Staff is extremely friendly...The dogs even loved hanging out....Water is available 

We were on our way to TX and were planning to stay a night here.  When we were close to the exit there was a sign indicating “No Trucks Allowed”.  When we drove by it everything looked dark and empty.

Clean and well lighted place to stay one night...best rest place we’ve ever stopped at

The people that work here are very nice and very informative. Its posted no overnights and no trucks so we asked and she confirmed you can stay 1  overninght in all Arkansas welcome center. 

Asked the attendant for permission to overnight, “no problem”.  Approximately eight RV spots, no trucks. Had one other RV parked a spot over.  Some freeway noise, but very bearable.  Clean restrooms, very friendly folks, nice plan to spend the night.  Recommend it. 

The hostess today told us self-contained campers are welcome to stay one overnight at any of the AR Welcome centers in the state. Gave me a list of all 14 of them. Beautiful center with lots of information about the state. Main building open during the day. Vending machines and alternate rest rooms available after hours.
