The C.A. Vines Arkansas 4-H Center, about 10 miles west of Little Rock, hosts the state 4-H camping program for youth ages 5-19. It offers both overnight sessions and summer day camps (day camps run June-July for ages 9-13), with activities including canoeing, swimming, archery, fishing, rock climbing, and a high-ropes challenge course.

★★★★★MrFootlongfeetI have taken students here on field trips for several years now. The staff are always professional and hardworking.
★★★VIt's hard to rate. It depends on what you're here for. Very basic rooms with no hair dryer, iron, coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, etc. Rooms do have a tv with very few channels. This place would be great for outdoor events, expecting minimal amenities. Food is in between cafeteria and restaurant quality. The salad bar is the best thing here...update... they got rid of the salad bar that was amazing! Small pond, canoes, and seasonal outside pool, several campfire areas, ropes course, zipline.
★★★★★Rachel RobinsonI recently visited the 4-H center in Arkansas with my child and it was an amazing experience. I used to go there as a child and it was wonderful being able to share that experience with my own child. The center offers a variety of activities such as fishing, geocaching, rock wall climbing and more. It was all fun! The natural beauty of the center is perfect for learning environmental education, team building, leadership, camping, outdoor recreation and more from their University of Arkansas System facilitators. I highly recommend the 4-H center in Arkansas for anyone looking for a fun and educational experience.
