RV Parks to Stay in when Working at Lion Oil Refinery in El Dorado, Arkansas

There is a group of people, both men and women, who work on the road, meaning that they work away from their home. These people chase turnarounds all across the United States and sometimes even farther away. They vary in their crafts, or what they are qualified to do, and each turnaround will require a certain number of people who are qualified to do each craft. A turnaround occurs when a refinery or plant is shut down for repairs or scheduled maintenance.

In El Dorado, Arkansas, there is a refinery known as Lion Oil Refinery that does have scheduled turnarounds in which a contractor will bring in their people and perform the work that needs to be done. Some of these people will bring their travel trailers and will need to know about the RV parks or places to park their RV close to the plant. But, since these people are not here for a couple of days, often they are looking for a place that has a specific set of amenities, such as some sort of laundry facility, full RV hookups, maybe some shade trees and a place outside the RV to cook and visit with neighbors. They may travel with a pet, so it may be imperative that the place welcome pets as well. The location of the RV park in relation to Walmart, McDonald's, a grocery store and other places may also be important to some of the workers.

For those traveling workers who are participating in a turnaround at the Lion Oil Refinery, located at 1000 McHenry Road, El Dorado, Arkansas, there are at least 5 different places to park the RV. There is Gator Den RV Park, Harbor Recreational Park, Moro Bay State Park Campground, Murray RV Park and Country Living RV and Mobile Home Park.
