(The other cabins looked great too. ) Owners are so sweet and helpful! We had planned to go into Hot Springs a few days, but the river was so pretty, fishing was great, swings were super cool, and kayaking was a blast so we never left the campground. Thanks Amanda, Casey, and Nolan!!! See you again sometime!Melissa Wright

We had such a great day at Ron Coleman Mining! We did the…read moreUnlimited Day Pass for $55.00, this included a tour of some amazing pieces, a jeep ride through the mine and the process of handling some of their finds. It also included a full day of mining and zip lining. You can separate all these options if you choose to save some cash but we thought that was a good deal. We struggled to decide which mine to go to and have zero regrets. We are super excited to get home and clean up our great selection of gems. Everything was great, well explained and the staff were super friendly, helpful and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. Props to Andrew , Preston, Adrianna, Jeremiah and Kam! Thanks for being happy to be there, passionate to assist and educate and having fun while doing it!

This place is every adult/ kids dream. Get a bucket some shovels, & start digging. 4 acres of area…read moreto dig in. Don't let the haters sway you that they "couldn't find anything" because there's a ton of crystals all over and they didn't try very hard, in the dirt, on the dirt around the dirt. It's every rock nerds dream. Get your hands dirty, your shoes muddy; pack a lunch and bring the dog. There's more crystals around than what's worth keeping. Take what you can carry. Really awesome place too, & some amazing views. Zip lining and a mine tour for some additional $$. The staff is super polite and welcoming. I want to say it was $25/ person for an all day pass to dig. Tons of fun. Check out our haul. The big one was literally on top of the ground.

We all, at different times, explored the surroundings, walked trails, and some enjoyed dinner and/or breakfast at nearby restaurants. Us Texans sure did enjoy Arkansas and its fall beauty.

We heard that this place was a "must see" so I had really high expectations; especially when…read morecompared to mount Nebo. My first impression was "where do you park?!" Lots of people come here, and the main parking lot is always packed near the visitor center and restaurant. Sure there's lots of parking near the hiking trails, but up front not so much. This place reminds me of Top of the Rock in Branson. There isn't much in the way of activates here. I wish I was told more about this place. It seems Petit Jean is more centered around hiking and mountain biking. Lots of trails for both, and then a restaurant on a bluff that hikers, motorcyclists, and tourists seem to flock to. If you don't really hike, or bicycle, and don't really care about eating at a restaurant that looks over a bluff then save yourself a trip. I mean if I was an avid hiker I might really like this place, but since I'm not there's other places around just as beautiful without the drive.

Many boaters, some swimmers (with designated areas and beaches even), some fishermen, and hikers scattered this area of Arkansas just outside of Hot Springs. It was fairly hot when we went, but still good fun and beautiful scenery. If time had permitted, I would have liked to take my daughters to Three Sisters Springs and other places. We instead stayed at Echo Canyon which is not technically part of the state park, but exists on Lake Ouachita.

Right at the lake's edge with our own, very well-maintained area for chairs, grilling, a picnic table, and steps that lead to the water's edge. We saw a Great Blue Heron and heard the Geese that are in the area. We ended the evening with a sunset that did not disappoint. We are already looking at the calendar for when we can come back.
