Quick Overview
London sits in the Arkansas River Valley, where Pope County's rolling hills meet practical RV infrastructure. With several RV dump stations serving the area, including some free option, you'll find the services you need without the runaround.
This small Arkansas community punches above its weight for RV travelers. You're positioned between the Ozark National Forest to the north and Lake Dardanelle to the south -- both worth the detour if you've got time. The stations here range from full-service RV parks to quick dump-and-go facilities.
Most facilities sit within easy reach of US-64 and I-40, making them accessible whether you're towing a fifth wheel or driving a Class A motorhome. Spencer's Landing RV Park represents the newest addition to the area's RV infrastructure, offering modern amenities for travelers passing through or settling in for a longer stay.
The town itself keeps things simple. You won't find big-box stores on every corner, but you will find straightforward access to essential services. Local stations understand RV travelers -- they've seen everything from converted buses to luxury coaches. Most can accommodate rigs up to 45 feet, though it's smart to call ahead if you're pushing that limit.
Whether you're here for a quick overnight stop or using London as a base camp for exploring the Arkansas River Valley, the dump station network keeps things moving smoothly.

I-40 runs east-west just north of London, giving you direct interstate access whether you're coming from Little Rock or heading toward Fort Smith. US-64 cuts through town itself, connecting you to smaller communities and recreational areas throughout Pope County.
For north-south travel, Highway 65 provides your main route, linking London to the broader Arkansas highway network. Secondary roads like Highway 307, Highway 309, and Highway 186 branch off into more rural areas -- these work fine for most RVs, but watch for narrow sections if you're towing a wide trailer.
Highway 197 and Highway 290 serve as local connectors. They're well-maintained but built for farm equipment, not necessarily 40-foot motorhomes. Keep your speed reasonable and you'll be fine.
Overnight parking options are limited in London proper. Your best bet is planning ahead and booking an actual RV park rather than hoping for a Walmart lot. The area doesn't have the big-box retail infrastructure that typically welcomes overnight RVers. Most dump stations here operate as part of established campgrounds rather than standalone facilities, so factor that into your route planning.

Dump Station Costs in London
London offers several dump stations, with some station (a portion%) providing free service and a portion% charging a fee. The paid facilities typically run $10-20 for dump service, often included if you're staying overnight at an RV park.
That single free option can save you money if you're just passing through, but don't expect luxury amenities. Free stations usually mean basic concrete pads and a rinse hose. The paid facilities generally include potable water, longer hoses, and better lighting for evening arrivals.
If you're planning multiple nights in the area, full hookup sites at local RV parks average $30-40 per night. That price point includes dump access, electricity, and water -- better value than paying per dump if you're staying more than one night.

Best Time to Visit London by RV
Winter
December-February
30-50°F

Coldest months bring occasional ice storms that close rural highways. Most RV parks stay open but expect minimal crowds and potential facility closures during freezes.
Spring
March-May
55-75°F
Crowds: Medium
Prime time for visiting before summer heat arrives. Wildflowers bloom in the Ozark foothills and lake fishing picks up considerably. Rain increases in April and May.
Summer
June-August
75-95°F
Crowds: High
Peak season brings heat, humidity, and weekend crowds heading to Lake Dardanelle. Book RV sites ahead for weekends. Afternoon thunderstorms are common but brief.

Crowds: Medium
Comfortable temperatures and fall foliage make this ideal for exploring the Ozark National Forest. Crowds thin after Labor Day but facilities remain fully operational through November.
Explore the London Area
Fill your fresh water tank before arriving. London's small-town infrastructure means fewer 24-hour services than you might expect. The nearest full-service truck stops sit 15-20 miles away on I-40, so top off propane and fuel before you exit the interstate.
Cell service gets spotty once you leave the main highways. Download offline maps for Pope County before you arrive. AT&T and Verizon provide the most reliable coverage, but even they have dead zones in the valleys.
If you're visiting Lake Dardanelle, launch your boat early. Summer weekends bring crowds from Little Rock and Fort Smith. The lake sits about 20 minutes south, and the drive down is easier in the morning before heat builds up.
Local grocery options are basic. Stock up on specialty items or dietary requirements before arriving. The closest Walmart sits in Russellville, about 10 miles east. Plan your shopping trips accordingly rather than making multiple runs.

Can I access London's dump stations with a large Class A motorhome?
Most stations accommodate rigs up to 45 feet, but London's facilities weren't designed for modern luxury coaches. Call ahead if you're over 40 feet or towing a long trailer. The newer Spencer's Landing RV Park has the most maneuvering room.
Are dump stations open year-round in London?
Most stay open through winter, but services may be limited during ice storms. The paid RV park facilities maintain better winter access than standalone dumps. Check current conditions if traveling December through February, especially after weather events.
What's the best route into London for RVs coming from Little Rock?
Take I-40 west to the London exit, then follow US-64 into town. It's the most direct route with minimal elevation changes. Avoid cutting through on smaller county roads -- they're scenic but not built for large RVs.

Standalone dumps operate first-come, first-served. RV parks with dump access don't require reservations just for dumping, but it's courteous to call ahead. Summer weekends can get busy at the larger facilities.
Where's the nearest propane refill to London's RV parks?
Your closest options sit along I-40 near Russellville, about 15 miles east. Some local RV parks offer propane, but selection is limited. Fill up before leaving the interstate if you're running low.
Can I find potable water at London's free dump station?
The free option provides basic dump service but amenities vary. Paid facilities consistently offer potable water hookups. If fresh water is critical, plan on using a paid station or filling up at an RV park.
