RV Dump Stations In North Little Rock, Arkansas

We count around several dump stations in and near North Little Rock, which is a strong number for a metro this size. They range from a commercial pay station at Downtown Riverside RV Park to camper-only stations at the public parks like Maumelle Park and Burns Park Campground. Because the city sits at the I-40 and I-30 crossroads, most of these are within a few minutes of the interstate, so you rarely have to drive far out of your way to empty tanks before continuing across central Arkansas.

The most reliable public-access paid dump is at Downtown Riverside RV Park on Riverfront Drive, where the fee runs about $10 or less. Several private RV parks near the interstates will also let non-guests dump for a similar small charge, though it is worth calling ahead since policies change seasonally. If you are already a guest at any of the local parks, dumping is included with your site, so the fee only applies to drop-in dumps. Camping World off I-40 can also point you to service options.

Truly free standalone dump stations are limited in the immediate North Little Rock area, which is common for a metro. The best value is the roughly $10 station at Downtown Riverside RV Park, and the public campgrounds include dumping with a paid site. If you are set on free, plan ahead and combine an overnight at a self-contained-friendly spot with a low-cost dump the next day. Empty is better than desperate, so we usually just pay the small fee here rather than hunt for a free option across the metro.

Yes. The RV parks with dump stations, including Downtown Riverside and the public campgrounds, also offer potable fresh-water fill, so you can dump gray and black and top off fresh in one stop. Maumelle Park is a good fresh-water source since it has water at every site even though it lacks individual sewer hookups. Bring your own potable hose and a decent filter, since municipal water taste varies. Most stations here do not meter water separately, so the fill is typically included with the dump fee.

The North Little Rock Walmart Supercenter has historically allowed self-contained RVs to park overnight with manager permission, which is the usual free option. Ask at the service desk, park away from the storefront, and keep your slides and awning in. There is no dumping at Walmart, so pair it with a paid dump station the next morning. For a proper overnight with hookups and an on-site dump, the riverfront and interstate RV parks are only a few minutes away and worth the modest nightly rate.

Camping World at 9801 Diamond Drive, right off I-40 at exit 161, refills propane by the gallon and also does tank exchanges during business hours. It is the most convenient one-stop in the metro because you can refill propane, grab RV parts, and book any needed service in the same visit. Prices are competitive with the rest of central Arkansas. If Camping World is closed, several tractor-supply and hardware retailers around the metro also handle propane exchange, though refills by the gallon are cheaper.

North Little Rock is a genuine crossroads. I-40 runs east-west across the north metro, linking Fort Smith to the west and Memphis to the east, while I-30 arrives from the southwest, crosses the Arkansas River, and ends at I-40 here. The I-430 and I-440 loops form a beltway around the metro, and US-67/167 heads north toward Jacksonville and Cabot. The busiest section is I-40 between the I-30 and US-67/167 interchanges, so plan your service stops outside of rush hour when you can.

Maumelle Park, the Army Corps of Engineers campground on the Arkansas River, provides water and 30/50-amp electric at every site but does not have sewer hookups at the individual pads. Instead, it keeps dump stations positioned throughout the campground for campers to use. The practical approach is to fill fresh water at your site during your stay and swing by an on-site dump station when you break camp. It is a clean, well-run park, and the dump facilities are included with your camping fee, so there is no extra charge for registered campers.

Fall, roughly September through November, is our favorite window. Days are mild, humidity drops, and interstate traffic is lighter than the summer travel peak, so getting to and from stations is easier. Spring is pleasant too but brings thunderstorms and occasional Arkansas River flooding that can temporarily close riverfront access. Summer stations stay open but afternoons are hot and muggy, so dump early in the day. Winter is mild overall, though you should protect your hoses and valves on the handful of nights that dip below freezing.

Most are. Downtown Riverside RV Park and the private parks operate year-round, and Maumelle Park is a year-round Corps campground, so the dump stations stay accessible through winter. Central Arkansas winters are mild, with only a few freezing nights, so seasonal closures are rare compared to northern states. The main caveat is spring flooding: when the Arkansas River runs high, riverfront facilities near downtown can close temporarily. When in doubt, call ahead during storm season, but in general you can count on year-round dump access here.

Yes, the metro handles big rigs well. The interstate-adjacent parks and Camping World at exit 161 are all built for 40-foot coaches and fifth wheels, with room to maneuver. The one place to be careful is the tight historic street grid in downtown Argenta, which is cramped for a long rig, so approach the riverfront park on the wider surface streets rather than cutting through downtown. Maumelle Park and Burns Park both have generous roads and pads, so length is not an issue at the public campgrounds either.

Standard kit covers it here: a good sewer hose with clear elbow, disposable gloves, a bottle of tank treatment, and a dedicated potable hose plus filter for fresh-water fill. Bring a few dollars in cash in case a station prefers it, though most take cards. Since Maumelle Park fills water but dumps at a separate station, a longer fresh hose helps. If you are refilling propane at Camping World in the same trip, plan to arrive during business hours. A pair of nitrile gloves and hand sanitizer round out a clean, quick stop.

It is one of the better ones in the region. Sitting at the I-40 and I-30 junction, North Little Rock is a natural break between Memphis, Dallas, and the Ozarks, and it packs dump stations, propane, groceries, and RV service into a compact, interstate-close area. You can dump, fuel, restock, and even walk the Arkansas River Trail or Big Dam Bridge to stretch your legs, all within a few minutes of the highway. For a one-night service stop or a longer base to explore central Arkansas, it earns its place on the map.
