Other options include a group camp area, a rally-style area, and four Rent-A-Yurts. The 125 park campsites (35 Class AAA and 90 Class B) are near Lake Bailey. Open in the summer months, the boathouse offers a snack bar, boat rentals, and supplies. Most of the cabins are rustic CCC-style with modern amenities, and a few are duplex designs. Upstream from Cedar Creek, a CCC rock dam forms Lake Bailey, 100 acres for fishing, kayaking, and pedal boating. Another cabin with a kitchen is a short drive away. Near the lodge are 33 cabins (21 with kitchens) located along the bluff with views of the canyon.
The fireplace in the lobby serves as a welcoming gathering place in the winter. The CCC built trails, roads, bridges, cabins, and the focal point of the park, historic Mather Lodge, a 24-room lodge overlooking Cedar Creek Canyon with a restaurant, meeting rooms, and gift shop. The natural beauty and ancient geology of the legendary Petit Jean Mountain inspired the creation of Arkansas’s first state park and with it our state park system. The park mirrors the mountain’s rugged beauty with its rustic-style, native log and stone facilities constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) beginning in 1933. Petit Jean State Park is an Arkansas classic, a natural and historic treasure that has welcomed travelers for decades.
