About Lake Frierson State Park

Perched atop the scenic Crowley's Ridge, Lake Frierson Campground invites families to unwind along the peaceful, tree-shaded shores of its 335-acre lake. This intimate state park retreat is your gateway to unhurried days spent casting a line, paddling quiet coves, and wandering wooded trails where the only agenda is relaxation.

Small campground with a mix of Class A RV sites and Class B tent sites; intimate, family-friendly setting.

Historical Significance

Located on Crowley's Ridge, a distinctive geologic formation that rises above the surrounding Mississippi River Delta and extends from Missouri into Arkansas.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground embraces you with the distinctive hardwood forests of Crowley's Ridge, where towering trees frame shimmering lake views and dappled sunlight filters through the canopy. Gentle nature trails wind along the shoreline, leading to secluded coves where herons fish and deer come to drink at dawn. The 335-acre lake itself becomes a mirror at sunset, reflecting the surrounding woodland in water so still you can hear fish jumping from your campsite.
