We decided to go to Table Rock Lake State Park on our annual "vacation" camping trip this year. I looked for a place to stay for a couple of days on the way up there from Mississippi to break up the drive. I found Woolly Hollow State Park in Greenbrier, Arkansas. The park is located a few miles off of Hwy 65, not too far north of Conway, AR.
What a great find! This is a relatively small campground with 30 full hookup sites and 10 tent sites. The full hookup sites also have a tent pad. The RV sites are very nice with asphalt parking and good space between them for privacy. Most have decent shade, as well. They are equipped with fire rings, grills, and picnic tables.
We were very happy with our site #1. This site is a pull-thru with the tent pad down a few steps from the RV site.
Woolly Hollow State Park has a 40 acre lake with a snack bar (open during the summer), boat rentals, and a swim beach. This would be a fantastic place to bring your kayak.
We did hike part of the Huckleberry Trail. Sally Mae is getting older (as are her humans), and she has some disc problems so she can't walk as much as she used to. If we had stayed a day or two longer, I would have liked to walk the rest of the trail. This park also has a 9.4 mile mountain bike trail.
The bath house was fairly standard. I confess that I usually like to use the handicap showers, as the regular shower stalls don't have adequate space to keep your clothes dry. That is what I did here. The handicap shower has a separate curtained space for dressing. The water pressure in the bath house was great, but it was pretty weak at the campsite.
The town of Greenbrier has several places you can go to get groceries, ice, gas, etc. They had a Walmart market and a Harps grocery. I went in the Walmart and found it to be clean and well-stocked.
Because of the close proximity to Little Rock, we were able to pick up quite a few over-the-air TV stations. My phone (Sprint) had no service here, but Rick's (C-Spire) did. We camped here 9/9/18-9/11/18.
We really enjoyed our stay at Woolly Hollow State Park and I would like to go back someday.
