While visiting Millwood State Park, take time to visit nearby Old Washington Historic State Park, Arkansas' Confederate state capitol. There you can tour historic homes and inns once visited by Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, and General Sam Houston. Only 40 miles from Millwood is Crater of Diamonds State Park, the only diamond field in North America open to the public. Always a popular campground for the spring and fall fishing season and the summer family vacation, Millwood is becoming a favorite for those seeking the beauty and solitude of winter camping. Each site has a picnic table and grill, and modern bathhouse with hot showers are located throughout the campgrounds.
Reservations are available in some areas.
For those who prefer more primitive camping, tent sites with no hookups are available. A trailer sanitary station is nearby. Camping and picnicking supplies, Arkansas fishing licenses, live bait, and plugs used by champion fishermen are available. Shoppers can also choose from a selection of T-shirts and other souvenirs. Flat bottom boats and motors are available for rent, and paddle boats are popular with the more energetic visitor.
