§ 02 — OVERVIEW
Rising Star Campground is located on the Arkansas River by Pool 3 Lock and Dam.
Whether camping, fishing, boating or just relaxing in the sun, this area provides something for everyone.
The campground is popular among fishermen. There is excellent catfish fishing in the tail-waters of Joe Hardin Lock and Dam as well as Emmitt Sanders Lock and Dam at the upstream end of Pool 3. Anglers often catch bass, crappie and bream. Hunting is available in nearby forests, and there is duck hunting on the waterways. On shore, families enjoy picnicking and using the playground.
Rising Star Campground offers 25 sites with electric and water hookups. Additional amenities include hot showers, a dump station and a playground. There is one accessible group shelter that can accommodate up to 60 people; it is for day-use only and must be reserved.
The park is in a forested area along the riverfront, close to the rolling fields of cotton farms. It is 193 feet above sea level; winters are generally mild and summer temperatures reach the upper 90s with high humidity. Red fox are frequently seen in the park, and numerous species of waterfowl live in the water and along the shores.
Rising Star Park is located 12 miles from Pine Bluff, the home for the Arkansas Railroad Museum, Pine Bluff Regional Park, the Martha Mitchell Home and other points of interest, as well as shopping and groceries.
