Devil's Den has been highly recommended for a long time on many camping-centric sites, and deservedly so. Our early May camping experience was near-glamping - full hookup, level site, its own trail hooking up to the larger trail system, excellent shower facilities. A park ranger asked if we wanted to change from site 62 - a very tall dead tree had been targeted for removal but was still in place. High winds that night, and the instability of the tree prompted the park query. We stayed put; a trailer two sites down was hit by a very large branch separated from a healthy tree by the storm. As we left, workers prepared to fell our Killer Tree - hats off to those folks responsible for keeping campers alert.
Excellent hiking trail system meant you could leave your truck at the campground. It's also a mountain biking haven, but mid-week off season campers don't tend toward adrenaline and crashes. Yellow Rock overlook trail is a must for hikers, the Lake and Woody Plant trails are pleasant and start in the campground. The CCC architecture, preserved and refurbished in a 21st century project, makes this a particularly photogenic park. No cell service or internet anywhere in the park - a blessing for some, a curse for others. We got brief signals at the top of the Yellow Rock trail.
Pay attention to the signs on the highway warning of curvy Highway 74 - not for trailers, or even big pickup trucks! Take Highway 170 for a smooth entry.

BUT the sites are good size even for Class A and level! The store and visitor center do have Wi-Fi not sure how well it works. IF YOU HAVE A RIG Ali get than 26 feet go to exit 53 off Hwy 49!!

This a pretty campground which is down in a valley. The drive down in and the drive out is quite hilly and curvy. The site was spacious with a paved pad which was relatively level. The sites have good spacing between them but there no privacy offered. There's a creek behind the campsite which can be heard. We were unable to receive any TV channels, there was no verizon coverage and we had difficulty receiving the NOAA weather radio channels.

This park has it all. Miles of trails. You can hike or mountain bike. The bathrooms are clean and there is hot water. I wish there was more signs on the trail so make sure you get a map at the visitor center. We only stayed 2 nights so we plan. To come back. I was talking to someone and the cabins are great too.

Fire-pits and grills at our site, plenty of trash receptacles.
Lots to do and experience in the park!
Be ready for no cell signal or WiFi. We were making arrangements to go to a funeral so we were able to get on free WiFi at the visitors center.
Narrow winding roads to get here, but spots are generous!

Nice quiet park. We loved that you could walk to the river from our campsite. The sound of the river and waterfalls made for a nice weekend getaway. There is NO cell service at all. There is free WiFi at the visitor center. One of our favorite places to camp so far!

This park is gorgeous! Lots of hiking trails for all levels. Pretty lake/creek flowing through camping areas. Has a pool that was not open when we were here, but it looked clean. The park store/restaurant burned at some point, so it is closed while being rebuilt - not sure how long that will be, so bring your provisions. Fayetteville, AR is only about a 35 minute drive and fun town with lots going on (home of U of Arkansas). West Fork is closer by about 15 minutes if you need groceries. Supposedly there is a grocery store there but we never checked.
A few things to be aware of:
1. DO NOT TAKE HWY 74 (EXIT 49) INTO THE PARK IF YOU ARE A LARGE RIG OR TOWING. IT IS VERY STEEP AND SOME HAIRPIN CURVES THAT YOU COULD NOT NAVIGATE! IF IN DOUBT, CALL THE PARK AND THEY WILL TELL YOU IF HWY 170 IS A BETTER ROUTE BASED ON YOUR RIG SIZE., BUT IT MOST LIKELY WILL BE FOR MOST RIGS!
DO KEEP GOING TO HWY 170 (EXIT 53) AND TAKE THAT ROAD TO THE PARK.
2. OFF OF 170, GO DIRECTLY TO YOUR SITE AND THEN TAKE YOUR CAR TO THE VISITOR'S CENTER TO CHECK IN. NAVIGATING A BIG RIG THROUGH THE VISITOR CENTER AREA IS NOT POSSIBLE. AS YOU ARE COMING ON 170, WATCH CLOSELY FOR YOUR CAMPGROUND AREA (I.E., SECTION E, SECTION D, ETC.) IF YOU MISS YOUR TURN NAVIGATING A TURN AROUND WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE.
3. We had no satellite reception or local channels on DISH.
4. We had no cell phone reception on either Verizon or ATT.
5. The park has Wi-Fi, but is spotty.
All of that said, if you can live without your technology, this park is great for relaxing and exploring. The caves are closed due to the White Nose Syndrome, but the hikes are fun anyway.
They have a lot of ranger led activities for kids. We had full hookups for our 40' MH in section E. Our site was fairly level and many others appeared to be as well. Quiet during the week, but fills up on weekends. Best to get a reservation.
Only used the bathrooms once, but they appeared to be clean, did not use showers.
We would definitely come back.

Arkansas State Parks rate their sites by amenities, and charge based on those amenities across all their parks. Devil's Den has a handful of different site types, and they are generally grouped together in loops. And...some loops are much better at Devil's Den.
Here's a rundown.
Loop A is "primitive" camping - sites without amenities. Loop B is in the process of being converted to cabins and is closed. Loop C is for groups. Loop D has minimal amenities (electric and nearby water), and Loop E has all the amenities including sewer.
If I were to go back again, I'd stay in Loop A and boondock it. Loop A is right along Lee Creek, close to the visitor center, and has easy access to all the park features. Loop B & C are out for regular campers. Loop D, where I stayed, is shady and pretty, but, gets constant traffic noise from two different directions. I would not stay there again. Loop E is along the river and also quite nice, but at $28 + tax for full amenities didn't seem worth it. Loop E does have wifi in the main bathroom.
Larger rigs (anything over 24 feet or so total) should enter from West Fork on 170. Tiny rigs can enter from 74 - there are 8 tight switchbacks on 74.
The park is very pretty, with great little hiking trails, a nice mountain biking trail and waterfalls. No cell service in Loop D on Verizon, and spotty 1X service here and there in the park.
