Chicot State Park??? (camps, trees, area)

[loves2read]

Anyone stay here recently
Has good reviews on line but not recent
Just wondered how muddy the gravel drive/improved tent sites are?
And how bad the tick situation is

[loves2read]

We stayed here for one night
Thought the roads were not marked very well==could be color-coded to help or larger
Good that we got there earlier than anticipated—of course gate is closed at dark
We got lost first time through and missed our turn—had to go around big one-way loop to get back
Guard at gate was less than helpful

Had a site that was in very wet area by creek I think although too much brush to do any walking around and it had rained day before—but low places on the road before and after our site

Mosquitos even though we sprayed
Maybe this is in the “bad” section but would not return
Trees stopped any breeze
Were overrun with raccoons at night—jumped off trees onto our tent
Afraid they were going to tear the tent’s fabric with their claws

Very narrow roads and ditches
Have to be careful backing into sites —-and maybe that is normal—we haven’t camped in decades

Most people around us had RVs
Saw one campsite leaving that was a tent
Had a water spigot, and electrical connection but site was not what I would consider very attractive
