About
Ten cabins at Lake Fort Smith State Park: one-bedroom cabins #1 (ADA, pet-friendly), #2 (pet-friendly), and #5, 6, 7; two-bedroom cabins #4 (ADA) and #3, 8, 9, 10. Full-service, with satellite TV, heat/AC, full kitchens with cookware and dinnerware, and a deck.
Fees
Arkansas State Parks doesn't publish a flat nightly cabin rate online - rates are set per unit and per date inside the reservation system itself, the same live dynamic-pricing pattern this park's campsites use. A statewide cabin policy, confirmed live: rates are based on bed availability with a fee for additional occupants (children 17 and under stay free), sheets/towels/pots/pans/dishes are provided, indoor spaces are smoke-free ($200 cleaning fee if violated), and a non-refundable $45/dog (2-dog limit) fee applies at pet-friendly cabins (service animals free).
This park hasn't published a specific season or closing date online for this unit - many other Arkansas state park cabins run year-round, so that's plausible here too, but call the park directly to confirm before planning a winter trip. These are full-service, heated cabins, comfortable for a winter stay.
