Mount Magazine State Park, Arkansas | Tent Camping

In this video I take you on a tent camping adventure on Mount Magazine State Park in Arkansas. My girlfriend Erica meets up with me and we swim in an old quarry pond and I fish, then we go out to eat at lodge located on top of the mountain for dinner. I take you on a mountain bike ride and show you some spectacular views from the mountain.

    I appreciate you and your sister and Cody taking the time to pick up litter in those parks! It's definitely a thankless job, unfortunately. But I thank you for it! 😊I do my best as well to pick up litter when I see it. We need to all pitch in to keep our parks clean!

    That is a very beautiful place. I agree that a lot of campgrounds are mostly set up to accommodate the RV campers that stay inside and don't really venture out into nature while they are parked. I have been a tent camper for 43 years I am now 64 I get out once a month for a five day camping and hiking experience.

    I totally agree with you, your sister Kelli and bro-in-law Cody, about the trash! I can't believe how many people throw trash on the ground like it's nothing. I will keep even a tiny piece of trash in my pocket until I get to a trash can.

    John, when your showing the flyers about the park that your in or the map you might want to slow it down so that people have enough time to get their fingers going so that they can pause & read what it is that your showing them. Go back & watch what you've posted & then you'll see what I'm talking about... Your doing a GREAT JOB, you just need to slow it down some & then tell the people that you might want to hit the pause button & read about these birds or whatever the case may be or slow down so they can see & look @ the map that your trying to show them..... Erica is such a sweetheart, she has a sweet gentle spirit......You've got a Keeper there my friend you better jump quick before she slips away...LoL I really don't think that she would slip away, because she knows that she's found a keeper as well............... Talk to you Soon.......

    Wonderful video, it brought back some amazing memories of when I took my youngest three tent camping there. They all three still love camping and the outdoors. In fact, my youngest daughter just graduated with a degree in fisheries and wildlife from A&M, so I would say The Natural State had a huge impact on her, even though we live in Texas. Arkansas is our favorite place to camp though. Wishing you all the best!

I was miserable the whole time because it was in the 90s and so humid. She loved it because she's a sun person. Me, not so much 😂. Never again will I go through that. So glad Erica got to come with.
