The countdown is on to April's total solar eclipse in which much of Arkansas will find itself in the path of totality.

It's expected to draw tourists here in droves and campsites are filling up fast.

“At campgrounds like Greer's Ferry, we have those that are already 60% full," said Jay Townsend, spokesperson for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "One of them that has electric amenities is full. We believe closer to the eclipse, the rest of them without electric amenities will begin to fill up as folks start to come in. You have parks in south Arkansas that are already 90% full.”
