Don’t let the name put you off! This is our first time here, and we were pleasantly surprised. First time at a COE park in a very long time. We arrived on Sunday afternoon, staying through Friday. Great welcome at the gate! Our space is right on the river with a view across to the lock. Fun to watch the barges pass through. Very minor traffic noise from the bridge. Hearing the river noise is like hearing the surf at the beach—very relaxing. The spaces are all fairly long and MOST are level. Clean and well-maintained with no underbrush or weeds. The restrooms/showers are clean, and are restocked frequently, it appears. So many huge, beautiful trees to enjoy. Most sites will be very shady come summer. Highly recommend!

Very nice, clean campground! We were in site C10. Long double-wide site with patio area at the back, right on the river. Highly recommend this place!

Nice, clean campground. Private vault showers and lots of shade. Playgrounds for the kids and pavilions are available for day use. There's also a boat ramp.

Joan Gauthier | May 4, 2019

I thought that they were joking myself when they first said To add Suck Arkansas Rec. Park so I googled it. Funny it's a real place, and why it's called Toad Suck is in the older days boats use to tie up there and go drink at the tavern when it was there years ago. Who would have thought!! 😂😂😂🤔💭

Another theory is there is a French phrase that means "narrowing of the river" that sounds like toad suck.

Why was it named Toad Suck Park.

Ezequiel Lang-Loveless | May 3, 2019
Jody May | May 4, 2019

Toad Suck has been named for over 150 years. The myth is that the river boaters sat at the tavern drinking and sucked on the bottles until they swelled up like toads.

Is Toad Suck Park near Toad Lick?

Darin Price | May 3, 2019
