Kingsland, Cleveland County, Arkansas

Directions: Hwy. 79 east out of Fordyce to hwy. 189 north, (the intersection before the Kingsland school). Turn left. Immediately after turning left, you will see a fork in the road, take the left road staying on hwy. 189 north. At the time of this writing, there is a large sign at this fork pointing in the direction of Camp Springs Cemetery. Continue on hwy. 189 north for about 2 miles, until you see the Camp Springs sign on the left. Turn left here. (Watch closely, this sign can be easily missed.)

If you have others that your know are buried here, please let me know. I am told that there are many unmarked graves. I documented many stones that were broken off, as well as field rocks and stumps that probably represented markers at one time. Any comments about this information would be greatly appreciated.

I am a descendant of the DRAYTON BENNETT McCOY family listed above. This cemetery is very near and dear to my heart. I have researched its people extensively over the past couple of years and plan to update this site with more great information. Check back often.
