Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park lies within a private nature reserve of hiking trails, waterfalls, bluffs, cascading streams and wildlife -- it is all here. The campground is off the radar -- there are no highway signs or advertisements -- yet offers comfortable and safe refuge to guests whether staying in a tent, camper, RV or one of our cabins. On site you can find swimming, paddling, fishing, hiking, a 6-acre foraging field, and 9-hole Frisbee golf course, a Ninja rope course with zipline and slackline, rope swing, bouldering, climbing, psicobloc and more outdoor pursuits than one has time. And Woolly Hollow State Park, Cove Creek Natural Heritage Area and Greer's Ferry Lake all lie within biking distance. New to camping? Need a flush toilet, kitchen sink and daily shower? Hate bugs, hate thorns, or hate wild critters? Or simply don't like being outside and in a primitive setting? Then this may NOT be the place!! But if you want to sneak away and find a lovely little place to unwind and bathe in a forest under a tall canopy of standing pines and oak trees, then Pinnacle Springs is where you need to be. Pinnacle Springs also offers riverside camping on the banks of the North Fork of Cadron Creek -- central Arkansas' premier whitewater stream -- and is less than an hour's drive from Little Rock (only 15 minutes from Conway and I-40). Camp by the side of a river. Camp at the foot or atop a towering bluff. Camp in a cave. Camp in a riparian jungle. Camp in total solitude or camp with all your friends and family. We offer so many choices one can select a site that perfectly fits their needs. And if you want total seclusion -- a real "wilderness experience" and are willing to "hike-in" a couple of hundred paces we can provide that too. No traffic noise here! Rather, you'll be soothed by the sound of cascading water echoing off the bluffs -- great for outdoor sleeping and keeping the air fresh and alive. Many of the camp sites are equipped with a heavy picnic table, fire pit and grill, lamp post and level tent site. And if you like to swing -- we have trees! Hammocks and slacklines are the best no trace tree thing ever! And although Pinnacle Springs Campground lies in an off-the-grid wilderness setting there is good cell phone service, a water hydrant can be found near the front gate behind the store, and electrical outlets for recharging phones and such can be found on the ridge at nearby Camp Toasty. And from March through November hot water showers are even freely available. Guests are encouraged to explore any of the trails that criss-cross the property especially if you like waterfalls, scenic views, cascading streams, and goat trail bluffs. The Tanner Pool Trail is especially popular after a heavy rain, Bluff Trail offers a nice perch for viewing the river below, and the 1+ mile "Circuit Trail" is a great way to start one's day. Our place is a bit rough, rugged and unruly yet we call it home -- a place where everyone regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, political views, religion, national origin, or culture is welcomed to come enjoy nature's marvelous works and wonders. We love everyone!! So we invite you to come down to the Cadron and sit a spell. Unwind. Kick back. And enjoy! BTW: Those that find our campground a good fit and leave us a welcoming review are always invited to return as a "friend of the Cadron" and receive 10% off on future reservations.

The Great Eclipse - Best Deal Ever!

This place is gorgeous. The owners have done serious work on invasive species, and it shows. The biodiversity of the native plant population is incredible. Creek is also really rad.

The Great Eclipse - Best Deal Ever!

Solar eclipse camping

This is an incredible campground. Pristine beauty, spaced out private sites, the river was gorgeous, and so many breathtaking trails. Would highly recommend. John was such a breath of fresh air, very knowledgeable and committed to preserving the native land. We will be planning our next trip there soon!

Site 1 - Camp Toasty - RV Electric

Everything a Campground should be!

My family camped at John‘s place over spring break in our pop-up camper and I can’t say enough good things about it! We were in space 1 up in Camp Toasty. We had plenty of space, the campground was immaculate, and easy to navigate, and we instantly felt at home. Our space came with a fire circle and a picnic table, both in great shape. After purchasing a couple bundles of wood, we were all set up. The facilities are a little far away from this location; this was not a problem for us, but worth noting, if you like to be right next to toilets and showers. The toilet is a porta-potty and the shower is a really beautifully made cedar outdoor shower. We did see them building nice looking cedar outhouses, so it seems that facilities are being upgraded as I write this! From our spot, you could hop right on the hiking trails that take you to a gorgeous river overlook. I spent quite a bit of time on that little bench, listening to the calming rapids and relaxing in nature. The Yoga deck is also a great place to sit in the sounds of the forest. With the hiking trails, scenic beauty, zip lines, sky full of stars, and riverbanks to explore we had plenty to keep us entertained. Location wise, we also ventured out a bit and were able to hit a couple state park hikes a few local restaurants as well as the Hot Springs national park; how is that cool! A definite must see! I cannot recommend this Hipcamp enough. We had a fantastic week and only wanted to stay longer.

Tanner's I-40 Wilderness Escape

Really nice space! I was just here for an overnight- but it would make a great family destination spot. Neighbor dogs were a little barky in the evening; I wore earplugs. They did seem quiet during the night. I would stay again. Thank you for the well cared for, beautiful grounds to camp on. Stacy

#6 - Creekside: Darren's Venue

Exceptional

A very roomy spot to camp would recommend to families as they do have playground equipment. I would highly recommend having something with 4 wheel drive as the hill to go down to the camp site is rather steep and the park does display that. Overall enjoyed my stay and would recommend to everyone!
