The campsites located in Arkansas are getting busy in summer. That is why you need to make reservations by calling before you head to a campsite. One of the most pleasant campsites to visit is Petit Jean State Park.
There are all the conveniences including water and electricity. Besides, camping in Arkansas can also be beneficial for families as they will have a chance to rent all the possible camping gear.
There are a lot of places for picnic with grills and tables. But camping in Arkansas cannot be so safe as you think. You need to take into account that some areas of Arkansas are full of black bears. You need to learn more information on the area you are going to stay and if you meet a bear there is a list of precisions to follow. One of the state laws in Arkansas does not let feed bears. You can easily get fined. And to prevent any meeting with a bear, you need to keep your food away from your tent.
This measure will prevent your family members from meeting a bear accidentally. If you would like to camp with your dog, it is better to keep it by the campsite as bears can be scared and will attack your family as well. You also need to know that bears will never approach humans. The only reason bears can attack you is that they can be threatened. Your trip can provide you with positive impressions if you follow these simple precautions and if you learn more information on the area before you start camping there.
