Best to book

Mount Magazine is the highest point in Arkansas, and the state park on top has a lodge, cabins, trails and a hang-gliding area. The long-view overlooks above the Arkansas River Valley are the main drawcard, and the campground makes it an affordable way to stay on the summit. The drive up is a scenic switchback road.
