I was looking to go camping on the day that my daughters school lets out. We would be leaving Thursday around 1ish and coming back Sunday around 1ish. I was thinking we could go to Arkansas because we've never been and I saw that they have mountains and waterfalls and some neat looking things to explore. My only concern is having to drive about 5 hours or so with only 2 days to explore. Does anyone know anything about Arkansas and a place to camp that would be worth my time driving 4 or 5 hours. I'm open to other places as well, but I don't want something like a state park. The kids are both 9 so something that they could enjoy as well, hiking, swimming, rafting, etc...
Thanks
P.S. I'm in Irving,
TX, just northwest of Dallas
