Answer
If you're set on camping, I'd try for MORE than 15 minutes from downtown. Because, 15 minutes from downtown in pretty much every direction is still city, and I don't think I'd feel too comfortable sleeping in a tent with kids within 15 minutes of downtown. Unless there was a campground surrounded by razor wire and a guard. (sad, but true).
Most RV parks that are found within a city will only allow RVs, no tents, no pop-ups. Before you head out, make sure whatever park you decide to go to will allow the tent, etc. And these parks are nothing more than a place to park your stuff and sleep.. no fishing / recreation to speak of.
Missouri has some gorgeous state parks, if you can make the drive each day... for that matter, you may be just as well to go straight thru to Illinois, and camp near the Mississippi...
Good luck!

Here goes a bunch of camping questions... :) in arkansas. 10 pt question!!!?
<3
Okay, so here are the questions...
1. Where is the prettiest place in Arkansas for a family to camp (preferably with some sort of fishing nearby, and camping facilities and showers would b nice).
2. What tent should I get? We have a family of four... and price range... $0-$130 would be nice.
3. Have any advise on camping with the family? Any would be nice!
Oh and one more thing please answer these questions with some personal knowledge not just "i found it on www.whatever.com" but its okay if you get this info from a friend or something like that!
Thank you so much for your help! Family will be very thankful for your knowledge! Let the best answerer win 10 points!

Missus and I camped at Lake Catherine State Park. a few years ago. It's a very nice recreational park with a lot of activities. Arkansas state parks were the nicest we've seen and we've motorcycle camped all over the South and in the Rockies.
You may want to check into renting a shelter from the park, particularly if this is a first time outing for you and your family, but Academy may have a tent that will suit your needs as long as you are tenting in nice weather. Tents are rated for use:
a.â2 seasonâ (good weather only).
b.â3 seasonâ (Provides some protection against cold weather and light rain).
c.â3 season convertibleâ (Comfortable in warm weather but with a heavy fly to keep out thunderstorms, snow and very cold weather.
d.âExpeditionâ (The name of the rating reflects the use. You cannot reach places an expedition tent is needed by motorcycle).
They have a capacity rating on the box.
Leave X-Box , cell phones, etc. at home. Take swimming suits, floaties, binoculars and hiking shoes.
