In this video, you will find a tour of the three RV camping areas along with some walk-in tent camping sites, Yurts, and more!
We also met up with our friends Marc and Kari from The Art of RVing and had our first experience geocaching right there in the park!

Thank you for this detailed video!! Such a beautiful place 😍 💕 ❤️
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together! We are visiting this park next month, but we are from out of state. It was very helpful to see the campsites so I could pick one.
We are so glad that you found this video to be helpful! Thank you for watching!!
My wife and I love that you show the sites and their numbers. We've already picked a few future sites because of your videos.
Outstanding!! We are so happy that you have found our video to be helpful and informative! Some of our favorite state parks are in Arkansas! We will be headed back to Daisy and Petit Jean this year! Thank you for watching!
What a beautiful park! You really did have a wonderful view at your site! Nice seeing Marc and Kari and their RV. I watched that livestream too!! Lol! Great tour and great review! 😊😊😊
That was the most awesome campsite ever!! We loved it! It was fun getting to know Marc and Kari and being involved in their livestream! Thank you for watching!!
Such a beautiful site - I had kinda forgotten how gorgeous it was! Great run down of the Park - you are very good with all of the details that people want to know. Thank you for the shout out and especially the behind the scene look at our livestream! What an awesome weekend!!
Thanks for the encouragement! You guys made this trip very special for us! We look forward to our next trip together!! Let's float down the river!! LOL!
Love the intro...nice...time lapse on the trailer....nice. Thanks for the shout out I mean the SUPER SHOUT OUT. You are the best presenting parks.
We loved hanging out with you guys! Thanks for the kind words!
Wonderful video. Loved Daisy State Park and really enjoyed meeting Sunset Seekers and The Art of RVing. Thanks you both for all the amazing videos and very useful information on RVing tips and parks.
It was awesome meeting you! We hope to see you again soon!
We do love state parks. That looks like a nice site so close to the water. It looks like a huge spot. Luckily we have auto leveling in our Grand Design. Awesome you got to hook up with another channel. We’ve never done the Geocaching. We still need to do a tour of our RV. We have awesome windows. Looks like a great time. Nice your of Park. Take care. Alice
We love having auto-level--it makes things so much easier! We had a blast hanging out with our friends from The Art of RVing--great memories!! Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!!
We live in Longview, TX and got our first camper this year. Thanks for the video because this looks like a great weekend camping spot.
This is one of our favorite campgrounds! We know you will love it and it's not very far away! Thanks for watching!!
Great video! We love Daisy SP. 💕 We’ll be in #53 soon; our 3rd visit.
We love this place! We're going back in October! Thank you for watching!!
Hi Guys, just picked up your channel from The Art of RVing. Pretty cool and have subscribed to your channel. 👍🐶🐾😀
Awesome!! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! We are honored to have you!
Amazing tour of the site. Great water view. Nice facilities too bad it’s close good thing you have a portable 💩 tank. Thanks for sharing.
We would definitely recommend this campground!! Thank you so much for watching!!
Look at that spot! and its in Ar Kansas?? Nice! I have never been to that state but this makes it look wonderful
Yes it is!
As RV newbies I find your videos entertaining and informative.we live in Arkansas and will be visiting some of the parks soon. BTW, loved the CASA shirts! We are for the child too.
We love vacationing in the state of Arkansas more than anywhere else! Daisy State Park is our favorite park in Arkansas so far (although Petit Jean is a close second)! We like it so much that we booked another reservation for later on that year. In fact we have an entire playlist devoted to Daisy (7 videos) in our channel library! Christy and I just started with East Texas Casa in 2020 and we consider it an honor to serve the children of our community! We are so pleased that you find our videos to be useful and informative! Thank you for watching!!
Why is the Notification Bell not available , just wondering. I have ran into that often recently. thank you
I don't know. I'll have to look in to that. I wasn't aware the notification bell wasn't showing up. Perhaps I need to change some setting. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the tour. Too bad the area D walk in sites were closed. We stayed in walk in sites 64-65 not far from you last June and it was fantastic. Those aren’t available this year so I’m scouting.
We were able to tour area D in our subsequent visit to the park later that year! Very beautiful tent camping sites! Here is our video from our second visit to Daisy State Park: ua-cam.com/video/6Z3YGCQTVpE/v-deo.html
I just saw where you guys stopped in my home town of Carlisle, Ark at Nicks BBQ and Catfish. they have the best in the world catfish.
We had an excellent meal there on our way to Tennessee!!
I just found your channel. I love your videos and how you take us on a tour of the different parks that you visit. Living in central Arkansas we have visited a few state parks but you have introduced us to many more. Arkansas has 52 state parks that are great places to visit. What came do you use for your videos? keep up the good work
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!! Some of our favorite state parks are in Arkansas! I use a Gopro Hero 8 Black
That's a nice park. How much to camp there in your area? Have you been to Petite Jean Arkansas yet and checked out the parks? Thanks for sharing and good job and stay safe.
Mike and Christy, new subscriber here. Thanks for the informative videos you provide, very helpful. We are getting ready to purchase an RV as we are planning to zig-zag across the country for the next few years. We are planning to stay at each location for a week or so, exploring that area and then moving on to the next. I do have a couple of questions. How do you like towing the Arctic Fox and how is it holding up? How do you find using your truck while camping? We are looking at purchasing the 27-5, but are at a crossroad between that unit or a small class C and flat towing, as we definitely want to separate our camper/home from our 'daily jaunting around' vehicle. The one drawback is doing that in an F-250 diesel vs using a car (2-Door Wrangler). I've also read that 5th wheels cannot handle the rigors of cross country travel. Any pros and cons (or advice) you can give us would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. John.
First off, we are very honored to have new subscribers! Thank you for watching and subscribing! Secondly, I think it's important to point out that Christy and I are NOT full-timers. We are merely vacationers and don't want to dole out advice as though we have lived full time in our RV (which it sounds like you guys are going to do). What we CAN tell you is that we purchased the PERFECT RV for us! Our 5th wheel is only 31 feet long which is small for a 5th wheel (the average being over 34 feet and longer) and this has made it much easier for us to get into campsites. We haven't experienced any problems, nor do we regret anything about the purchase of our Arctic Wolf! We would highly recommend this RV to anyone! We can also tell you with certainty that a 5th wheel is a much more stable towing platform than a travel trailer. As far as it not handling "the rigors of cross country travel"...there is NO RV that is problem free and we certainly don't see how a class A, C, or travel trailer would somehow be less problematic than a 5th wheel. The F250 works just fine for us. I should point out that I have an additional 63 gallon tank in the bed of my truck so we very rarely re-fuel during our vacations. We would have to drive a pretty considerable distance to have to worry about re-fueling. Fuel costs are NOT going to be cheap even if you are towing a smart car behind your class C. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about. We can't tell you for certain what would be better. If you plan on traveling great distances from your base camp then maybe a class C towing a car or jeep would be a better fit for you, But if you are just going to explore the local area around your campsite a diesel truck should work just fine in our opinion.
@@SunsetSeekers Thanks for the response, Mike. Your input is greatly appreciated. Good to hear that your AW is serving you well and you are satisfied in your choice. The smaller size is what initially drew us to the Forest River and Northwood Arctic models. Just let me mention that we are not going to be full timers, as we still will maintain a S&B, but on an extremely downsized level. Initially, we are planning to be out on the road for about 8-9 months out of the year, for the first several years (gotta go while were still able and in good health) and then 6 mo. or so thereafter. Who knows. we make completely enjoy the lifestyle and go FT.
And as you know, there is so much too see and explore in this great country. It's amazing how I spent 30 years in the Air Force, saw the entire world 20 times over, but have yet to see much of the US. Well, that's all about to change, my friend. Again, thank you your great videos and the information that you provide. And I'll be sure to tell Forest River to send you a commission check.
Great tour of the park - thank you. Did you notice any noseeums? Sometimes when we are near the water in a warm climate those buggers get really annoying. (at least in Texas and FL they are)
We didn't really experience any issues with bugs that weekend....which is strange now that I think about it....LOL! Thank you so much for watching!
Curious How you were able to reserve a specific Area and Site #? the State Park website doesn't seem to allow that. Is there a park reservation phone #?
Great channel! I'm curious about the turnaround at group B. We will be in site 52 and have a longbed truck with 35 foot toy hauler, so we have a pretty large turning radius. I'm not sure we can turn around at the loop, especially if there are cars in the parking spaces and/or someone in site 55. That would mean backing in from the nearest intersection. Did you have any problem with the turnaround or see any long bumper pulls have an issue? Thanks!
I saw some pretty big rigs in there and I don't recall seeing anyone having issues. I think the loop is a little bigger than it may appear on screen. I don't think you'll have any problems with it Michael! Thanks for the kind words and for watching!!
Just found your channel and stopped to visit, love your content. :) New subscriber here.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for subscribing!!
Thanks for sharing the video. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Do you know if all the sites in Loop B are 30/50 amp? Or at least sites 51-55 that you recommended?
Thanks so much and God bless!
I don't know that ALL the sites in the B loop are 30/50 but most of them are. (to include 51-55) Thanks for watching!!
Thanks so much!
Hello! Great videos. Is your truck gasoline or diesel? If it's gasoline, when you're traveling, are you concerned about finding gas stations that your rig can fit in? Do you try and find the stations ahead of time along the route? How do you take care of this situation? Thanks...
Thank you for the kind words! My truck is a diesel and I have a 63 gallon auxiliary fuel tank so I've never actually had to stop at a gas station before with my rig in tow but the larger gas stations these days are big enough to accommodate any rig.
I was wondering if the park has level tent camping pads? Thanks
I think the tent pads are level...I don't remember them being sloped or anything. I did another video from Daisy State Park later on in the year where I explored the Tent sites a little more. You can check out that video here: ua-cam.com/video/6Z3YGCQTVpE/v-deo.html
Is site #50 busy?
I'm not sure I understand the question Tammy. What do you mean by busy?
A lot of people wanting to go swimming on that point, and a lot of vehicles parking around site #50
@@tammywilson9675 Unfortunately, I can't really give you a definitive answer on that. It varies based on what dates that you book the site. I've been to the park twice and it never seemed overcrowded or congested at that site but I can see how that could happen.
@@SunsetSeekers THANK YOU!! Thank you for your videos we love watching them
