KOA Texarkana
Pull into one of the RV sites and hook up to electric, water, sewer, TV and Wi-Fi connections. Put the dog on a leash or run, and let it enjoy the campground, which permits pets. Shower off in the shower house after a day spent hiking or fishing, then cook up some barbecue at your site's fire pit. The Wildside Trail, which runs throughout the KOA, affords the possibility of seeing turtles, birds and small critters. For bird-watchers, head out to the bayous of Arkansas and try spotting the rare ivory billed woodpecker, once thought extinct.
