Grand Reopening: Friday October 2, 2026. We will reopen for fall colors and winter solitude on Friday October 2 following improvements to property, campsites and road. Thanks for your patience. Imagine the gentle rush of water over smooth stones, the scent of pine needles drifting through the air, and the warm glow of a campfire under a blanket of stars. Whether you’re here to swim, paddle, fish, hike, or simply relax in a hammock with a good book, this is your chance to reconnect with nature — and each other. While we are confidant you will enjoy your time on the Cadron and its sunlit bluffs, crystal-clear streams and nature's marvelous works and wonders please understand you'll be camping at the edge of a wilderness and we have day jobs. In other words, you are pretty well on your own upon arrival. Think DIY! You have many camping options: 1) Streamside Camping: Secluded tent sites with easy access to Cadron creek – many with picnic tables, fire pits, grills, and lamp posts 2) RV Camping: Limited sites, pull-through, up to 30 feet, level, hard gravel base, with basic hookups (electricity, no full sewer) 3) Dispersed Camping: Outside of the campground there are nearly 100 acres available for camping. If you are up to roughing it a bit we'll point you in the right direction. 3) Cabins and Glamping: For those that like to settle right in we have rustic cabins and campers with modern comforts (some include AC, heating, and kitchenettes) Activities and amenities include swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, a 6-acre foraging field and 9-hole Frisbee golf course, bouldering, zen/meditation deck, climbing, psicobloc and more outdoor pursuits than one has time to pursue. Children can enjoy the Ninja rope course with zipline, slackline, and rope swing and petting Biscuit and Buttercup – our favored Kunekune forest pigs. And, Woolly Hollow State Park, Cove Creek Natural Heritage Area, Persimmon Ridge Resort and Greer's Ferry Lake are a short drive away. We invite you to our little piece of paradise on the Cadron. Bathe in a forest of tall standing pines and oak trees. Sit on the bank of a cascading stream. Embrace nature. We lie at the edge of civilization but we have good cell phone service and water hydrants and electrical outlets for recharging phones. And from March through November hot water showers are freely available. 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, 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 stay a spell. Unwind. And enjoy!

Tent site · Sleeps 4

Bluff Manor. A favored site. Walk-in camping (approx. 80-100 feet) to an intimate site that sits aside Playground Shoals at the bottom of a top bluff. Absolutely wonderful spot -- away from all other campsites and offering easy access to our trail system. Picnic table, fire ring, tripod gril. Just an all around great campsite, dark and shady, and a place where the sound of cascading water will lull you to sleep.

Tent site · Sleeps 4

Forage Forest. The end of the line and as about as far as you can get from everyone while still camping on the island. Hidden but accessible and with its own trail to the water, Beyond the camp site lies the Forage Forest -- 3+ acres of yummy delights -- and the trail to Lil' B and Big B' Falls. One can access this site by car but it is a tight squeeze more suitable for tents and/or hammocks. Trailers and campers? No. Again, this site is not suitable for camper or trailer. We recently had a guest that could NOT turn around with his truck and camper until he uncoupled the camper -- do NOT make this mistake.

Heaven Sent. The most frequently requested site -- it has it all and it sits right across from Indian Bluff House. A near faultless campsite aside from being close to a popular boat launch -- can get busy on a spring Saturday morning but any other day it is heaven sent.

Tent site · Sleeps 6

Belvedere. Just another great creek side campsite. The Belvedere lies low and out of sight. Right on the river's edge the camp serves as a great perch from which to watch the river flow by -- just serene. There is a short but steep trail to water and our deepest swim hole with rope swing. When reserved with SITE#5 and the pavilion you have room for up to 20 people, several tents and protection from the rain.

Tent site · Sleeps 4

Darren's Venue. The highest campsite on the island and renowned for being where Darren went into COVID "hibernation" for 49 continuous days through 5 thunderstorms, a flood and a mini-tornado. A proven choice -- trail to creek -- but a little steep. Closest site to the "facilities".

What's so peachy? It has it own little private beach with gently sloping bank on one of the deepest pools in the park. Large, flat, and close enough to the kid's Ninja "bootcamp" playground that this campsite has become a family favorite.

Tent site · Sleeps 14

Pavilion Camp. The largest most protected campsite on the island -- suited for groups of up to 20 people with a large pavilion, three large picnic tables, fire-ring, personal compost toilet, and campsite that offers room for several tents. Sitting on the highest ground on the island this large campsite offers a sandy perch from which to watch the river and paddlers descend Sarah's Wave. Having a much steeper embankment there is no direct path down to creek but the Pavilion Camp is the only campsite from which we allow you to fish -- otherwise please fish upstream or downstream of the campground, follow paths. This is the real deal for large groups -- reunions, gatherings of family and friends, field trips, etc.

A big spread of a campsite -- large, flat, and suitable for a small camper (watch for trees) . A bit distant from the next closest camp site. and sought by families as it is close to the swim hole above Sarah's Wave and has its own gently sloped trail down to the water.

Hog Inn. Can you say "Dome Life"? Cody and Kelly? Well the Hog Inn is their Cadron base camp -- and it is as sweet in every way as they are and a nice place to settle in for a weekend. Lulled by the cascading waters you'll sleep well. The site is a little on the small side (4-person tent) but is close enough to Site#9 that the two are often reserved together for larger groups.. Can you say "Hog Heaven"?

Tent site · Sleeps 8

Site is closed as past guest complained about sweet ball gums on site. Slough Hideaway. The only improved camp site on the island that is on the "slough side" -- tucked away back into the shadows of the woods this is one of the first sites one encounters and the only one on right side of road. Just an all around nice camp -away from the open water yet close to the children's Ninja Bootcamp Playground and facilities.

Sloughside: Dispersed Camping

Tent site · Sleeps 6

We recently added three campsites on the slough side of the island for those wanting to be closer to the water. These three campsites (unnumbered) are available on first-come, first-served basis and offer all the amenities (picnic table, fire ring, etc.) and privacy one would find elsewhere on the island. They are all nice campsites -- level, shaded, close to restroom, etc. And while they lack access to the Cadron they do offer access to the slough -- and by paddling downstream on the slough you'll eventually reach the Cadron.

Tanner's I-40 Wilderness Escape

98%

(66)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 24 ft

A camp site specifically designed for the cross-country traveler on the go. Just a few short miles (nearly all 4-lane blacktop) off I-40 north of Conway we have created a site designed for easy access and efficient camping. Moreover it lies at the edge of Pinnacle Springs Campground and thus offer miles of trails and river to explore if one has a little extra time. And even if in a hurry to break ground after a night's sleep one can still explore the cascades of nearby Tanner's Pool Trail before departing in the morning. The campsite has everything: picnic table, bench, and fire ring with grill -- even a bundle of firewood ready to burn. And electricity, water and clean porta-potty are all readily available for your use. Instant booking allows for last minute reservations late into the night if so desired. This camp is designed for quick in and out camping. Approaches: 1) Walk -- Park at the gate (small field just to the right). Campsite is less than 100 feet away via Tanner's Pool Trail. You can see green table and bench from gate. 2) Drive -- If unlocked, open the gate (lift loop over post to open, close to maximize privacy and security) and drive through pine grove. As soon as you emerge from pine grove there is a road off to your right -- follow, bearing right until you loop back to arrive at campsite -- you can park literally aside your tent. Hint: We strongly encourage you to explore the grounds while visiting -- Tanner's Trail which descends the hill from the campsite offers a great way to see the land and access the river. NOTE: If you can't read a map, or don't know how to use GPS or can't follow directions to a particular address PLEASE camp elsewhere!! We don't have time and staff needed to coddle guests.

Paddler's Pad. A camp hidden in the woods near the upper boat access with its own trail to the water. This is a new site in the making but has a picnic table and fire pit. One can access by car but it is a tight squeeze more suitable for tents and/or hammocks. Trailers and campers? No. Again, this site is not suitable for camper or trailer. We recently had a guest that could NOT turn around with his truck and camper until he uncoupled the camper -- do NOT make this mistake.

Site 6 - Camp Toasty

94%

(27)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 35 ft

Camp Toasty -- the "Upstairs Campground" -- lies on the ridge above Pinnacle Springs Campground and offers far more open ground for camping and field activities, But this is DIY camping -- and if you can't "do it yourself" then perhaps there are better places to be. Even if in doubt: please camp elsewhere. Camp Toasty offers open field primitive camping with picnic tables, benches, landscape lighting and a large bluff-side deck that overlooks the river. Porta-potties can be found downwind and upwind there is a water faucet and fishing pond that guests are invited to enjoy. For those on a tight budget spending a night or two or more at Camp Toasty still offers you the full experience of the entire 100 acre park: swimming, fishing, climbing, hiking, and exploration complete the picture. Everything that can be found at Pinnacle Springs Campground except riverside camping. IMPORTANT #1: Hipcamp will put a hold on your funds when you submit your booking request, but they only capture the charge when/if a request to book is accepted. Some people have asked about camping in total solitude so we now have designated sites sited far, far away from anyone, Whether camping solo or camping with friends and family we offer so many choices one can select a site that perfectly fits your needs. And if you like to swing -- we have trees! Hammocks and slacklines are the best no trace tree thing ever! 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 bluffs. The trails to Tanner Pool and Lil' and Big B Falls are 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. There is even a 10-acre foraging playground -- oxalis, nettle, ginger, mint, poke, etc., a 1/2 acre fishing pond -- suitable for "storing" any fish you catch in the creek but you may not wish to clean and eat -- and a nine hole frisbee golf course on the slave-built terraces where cotton fields once lay (first tee near bench by front gate). I could go on and on -- this is a pretty awesome place with hundreds of acres at your disposal -- rough and rugged yet close to home. Durng season (March through May) we also offer kayak and canoe rental, guide and shuttling service, and have four separate campgrounds on the banks of Cadron Creek to support multi-day paddling adventures. CAMPFIRES: Campfires are prohibited unless you brought in your own wood or purchased a vet pack of wood from the store. Similarly the use of downfall, dead trees and fallen limbs is unacceptable. Burning up our property -- even dead limbs and leaves -- and destroying habitat for lizards, salamanders and bugs will get you permanently banned from our properties. That said -- we have ample firewood to serve all our campers. We usually deliver firewood to your campsite in the late afternoon -- if the sun is setting and we still haven't visited please feel free to pick up a bundle outside the store. Those that have purchased a vet pack of wood can also take as much fire wood as they may need from any of the designated stacks on the property -- three stacks currently at Camp Toasty. Everyone else -- keep your hands off. WATER: The spigot creekside at the campground is currently closed to use. Rather two water spigots exist for guests to use: 1) one behind the store and shop at the gate and 2) the other behind the bunk house -- the building off to the left as you enter the campground. These are free for you to use 24/7. TRAILS: All trails are open but we are getting more reports of "ticks" especially when wandering off trail -- thus we encourage the use of repellents and a nightly "tick check". Like most of Arkansas we also have patches of poison ivy and stinging nettle; however, it is our goal to eradicate such plants where they border trails, roads or campsites so if such is observed please bring to our attention and we'll eradicate it. WILDLIFE: There is only thing more important to us than you and that is our wildlife that we live with year round. At this time we have nesting turkeys in the woods and nesting geese and ducks on the water. Deer and beaver are also abundant. The family of beavers below Playground Shoals are particularly friendly -- be slow and nice and they'll swim right alongside your boat and even splash you with their tail. So DO NOT DISTURB THE WILDLIFE!! The only exception: if you were to find a poisonous snake on the property -- please inform us so that we can relocate it to a place where fewer people gather. Most importantly -- please enjoy being surrounded by nature's marvelous works and wonders. Unwind. Kick back. And enjoy! LASTLY -- NO saws, axes or shovels. We like our place just the way it is! If you are caught harming flora or fauna or damaging the land in any way you will be asked to leave. On that you have our guarantee. We look forward to your visit. John and Lisa

Camp Toasty -- the "Upstairs Campground" -- lies on the ridge above Pinnacle Springs Campground and offers far more open ground for camping and field activities, Camp Toasty is definitely where you want to be if you want any of the following: 1) electrical hookups (add $5/night) 2) level sites suitable for a couple of RVs and pull-through campers 3) accommodations more suitable for larger groups -- lots and lots of room But this is DIY camping -- and if you can't "do it yourself" then perhaps there are better places to be. Even if in doubt: please camp elsewhere. Camp Toasty offers open field primitive camping with picnic tables, benches, landscape lighting and a large bluff-side deck that overlooks the river.

Durng season (March through May) we also offer kayak and canoe rental, guide and shuttling service, and have four separate campgrounds on the banks of Cadron Creek to support multi-day paddling adventures. UPDATES -COVID-19 -- We are open. Yes open, but with qualifications. No warm embraces, hugs and handshakes upon arrival and social distancing is the norm. Camp as far as way as possible from the next closest camper and if you're walking a trail and see someone else, you might consider turning and going the other way as we have hundreds of acres and lots of trails to wander. Also please "lube up" upon entering rest room facilities and "lube up" again after leaving -- HINT: the facilities at Camp Toasty get very little use. Please also note it takes us longer to turn-over restrooms, campsites and cabins now and there may be a slight delay in getting facilities clean and disinfected from time to time. Bring TP as we are having a hard time keeping it in stock -- seems someone or two are taking what we leave out for the guests to use. RESPONSE TIME - We have day jobs! The campground is our passion and hobby and we do not have a full time staff to always be available to meet and greet our guests especially after hours and on week days. If full time staffing and coddling is required -- this is not the place! Similarly -- our response time right now is averaging just less then two hours and we have no expectations that it will improve anytime soon -- so again if immediate responses to questions and inquiries are required -- this is not the place! WELCOMING PARTY: Once you have made a reservation through HipCamp -- you are good to go. Feel free to ask questions and make inquiries for additional information but anticipate we will be practicing "social distancing" and will likely not even visit your campsite once you are on location. That isn't to say we aren't here to assist to you but in the absence of such need our goal is to simply "stay away". We do have an information table at the front gate where you can pick up maps and guides or leave us a message -- disinfectant is available at the table -- so you may find we aren't really even needed. CAMPFIRES: Campfires are prohibited unless you brought in your own wood or purchased a vet pack of wood from the store. Similarly the use of downfall, dead trees and fallen limbs is unacceptable.

Welcome to Camp Toasty our ridgetop campground overlooking the North Fork of the Cadron. The campsites are scattered across 50 acres of woodlands with a few sites lying near the center of Camp Toasty offering electrical hookups. Atop the ridge you will find trails, a fishing pond, 9-hole frisbee golf course, bat houses and benches, horseshoes, Biscuit and Buttercup our Kune Kune pigs, bat houses and benches for guests (summer, at sunset), and places to explore. Access to the creek below and Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park is offered by overlooks, short trails and a road. And like Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park on the creek below this is DIY camping -- if you can't "do it yourself" then perhaps there are better places to be. Even if in doubt: please consider camping elsewhere. Camp Toasty is definitely where you want to be if you want any of the following: 1) electrical hookups (add $5/night) 2) level sites suitable for a couple of RVs and pull-through campers 3) accommodations more suitable for larger groups -- lots of room Camp Toasty offers open field and woodland camping with picnic tables, benches, landscaping and a large bluff-side deck that overlooks the Cadron. Porta-potties can be found downwind and upwind there is a water faucet and fishing pond that guests are invited to enjoy.

These are free for you to use 24/7. TRAILS: All trails are open. We encourage the use of repellents and a nightly "tick check" whenever out exploring in the summer months. We also have patches of poison ivy and stinging nettle; however, our goal is to eliminate the risk of stinging insects, pests and invasive, noxious plants where they border trails, roads and campsites for the safety and comfort of our guests. WILDLIFE: There is only thing more important to us than you and that is our wildlife that we live with year round. At this time we have nesting turkeys in the woods and nesting geese and ducks on the water. Deer and beaver are also abundant. The family of beavers below Playground Shoals are particularly friendly -- be slow and nice and they'll swim right alongside your boat and even splash you with their tail. So DO NOT DISTURB THE WILDLIFE!! The only exception: if you were to find a poisonous snake on the property -- please inform us so that we can relocate it to a place where fewer people gather. LASTLY -- NO saws, axes or shovels. We like our place just the way it is! If you are caught harming flora or fauna or damaging the land in any way you will be asked to leave. On that you have our guarantee. But MOST IMPORTANTLY: Unwind, kick back and enjoy nature's marvelous works and wonders. We look forward to your visit. John and Lisa

Welcome to Camp Toasty our ridgetop campground overlooking the North Fork of the Cadron. The campsites are scattered across 50 acres of woodlands with a few sites lying near the center of Camp Toasty offering electrical hookups. Atop the ridge you will find trails, a fishing pond, 9-hole frisbee golf course, bat houses and benches, horseshoes, Biscuit and Buttercup our Kune Kune pigs, bat houses and benches for guests (summer, at sunset), and places to explore. Access to the creek below and Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park is offered by overlooks, short trails and a road. And like Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park on the creek below this is DIY camping -- if you can't "do it yourself" then perhaps there are better places to be. Even if in doubt: please consider camping elsewhere. Camp Toasty offers open field and woodland camping with picnic tables, benches, landscaping and a large bluff-side deck that overlooks the Cadron. Porta-potties can be found downwind and upwind there is a water faucet and fishing pond that guests are invited to enjoy. For those on a tight budget spending a night or two or more at Camp Toasty still offers you the full experience of the entire 100 acre park: swimming, fishing, climbing, hiking, and exploration complete the picture. Everything that can be found at Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park except stream-side camping. Some people have asked about camping in total solitude so we now have designated sites sited far, far away from anyone, Whether camping solo or camping with friends and family we offer so many choices one can select a site that perfectly fits your needs. And if you like to swing -- we have trees! Hammocks and slacklines are the best no trace tree thing ever! 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 bluffs. The trails to Tanner Pool and Lil' and Big B Falls are 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. There is even a 10-acre foraging playground -- oxalis, nettle, ginger, mint, poke, etc., a 1/2 acre fishing pond -- suitable for "storing" any fish you catch in the creek but you may not wish to clean and eat -- and a nine hole frisbee golf course on the slave-built terraces where cotton fields once lay (first tee near bench by front gate). I could go on and on -- this is a pretty awesome place with hundreds of acres at your disposal -- rough and rugged yet close to home. Durng season (March through May) we also offer kayak and canoe rental, guide and shuttling service, and have four separate campgrounds on the banks of Cadron Creek to support multi-day paddling adventures. CAMPFIRES: Campfires are prohibited unless you brought in your own wood or purchased a "vet pack" of wood from the store. The use of downfall, dead trees and fallen limbs is unacceptable. Burning up our property -- even dead limbs and leaves -- destroys habitat for lizards, salamanders and bugs and will get you permanently banned from our properties. That said -- we have ample firewood to serve all our campers and the fee is reasonable. We try to deliver firewood to your campsite long before the sun sets but you are always invited to pick up your firewood at the front gate. Everyone else -- keep your hands off.

Cabin · Sleeps 7 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds

OPEN AGAIN!! One of the best swimming holes in Arkansas and it is all yours!! Set on an island on the North Fork of Cadron Creek -- central Arkansas' premier Class II whitewater river! -- this get-away-from-it-all cabin sleeps four and the adjoining campsite allows for as many as 8 more people to have the entire swimming hole all to yourselves. This is the way to spend your summer days -- winters too! -- in Arkansas! Inside the two-story cabin you have a long cabinet/bar with storage, a small table, and chairs. Downstairs there is twin size bunk bed and in the up the ship's ladder in the there is a full size futon with side tables. On the outside overlooking the creek is a full length front porch with rocking chairs while upstairs a sliding glass door leads to a balcony. A nearby picnic table, fire ring, charcoal grill, and lamp hook allow you to bring it all outside and wrap yourself in nature. A stone trail leads to the water where you can splash and swim, jacuzzi in Sarah's Wave, bask in the sun atop Jump Rock, float to Professor's Pool -- we offer boat rental and shuttles -- or simply enjoy the Cadron's marvelous works and wonders. Visitors are also encouraged to wander and explore any of the trails that criss-cross the 100 acre park. You'll find waterfalls, goat bluffs, and even a nine hole frisbee golf course, Downwind of the cabin and away from the river there is a sanitized porta-potty and further away are compost toilets. One can also use the shower house at Camp Toasty (a short walk up to the ridge overlooking the creek). Whether looking for a lonely weekend for two, a great place for a small group of friends, or a family-fun, creekin' adventure with the kids, Pinnacle Springs Cabin is the place for it to happen. FAQs: PRIMITIVE -- The cabin does NOT come with electricity or water -- it is off grid!! That means no flush toilets, faucets or shower! However both electricity and water are available -- electricity can only be obtained via solar panels, power inverters (available for rent), or a generator (only when campground is otherwise unoccupied) -- and hot showers can be found near the front gate. Moreover electrical outlets for recharging phones, etc. can be found throughout the property -- Camp Toasty, store, bunkhouse, etc. Primo filtered mineral water is also available inside the cabin and is provided by use of 5-gallon jug and hand pump. Fans, propane heaters, gas stoves, sleeping bags and "kitchen kits" are also available. BEDDING: The loft futon and downstairs bunk bed have clean fresh mattress covers, fitted sheets and pillow cases (each bed has multiple pillows). There is also a mattress for your dog underneath the bottom bunk bed. Campers need only bring blanket(s) and/or sleeping bag to assure a comfortable sleep. RESPONSE TIME - We have day jobs! We do not have a full time staff to always be available to meet and greet our guests especially after hours and on week days. Thus, if full time staffing and coddling is required -- this is not the place! This is DIY camping -- and if you can't "do it yourself" then perhaps there are better places to be. Even if in doubt: please camp elsewhere. WELCOMING PARTY: Once you have made a reservation through HipCamp -- you are good to go. Feel free to ask questions and make inquiries for additional information but anticipate we may not even visit your campsite once you are on location. We do have an information table at the front gate where you can pick up maps and the such, purchase additional firewood, or leave us a [xxxxxxxx]: Leave no trace. If we remove any trash from the site following your visit you will be charged a $25 cleaning fee. No exceptions. CAMPFIRES: Campfires are prohibited unless you brought in your own wood or purchased a vet pack of wood from the store -- the use of downfall, dead trees and fallen limbs is unacceptable. Burning up our property -- even dead limbs and leaves -- and destroying habitat for lizards, salamanders and bugs will get you banned from our properties. That said -- we have ample firewood to serve all our campers. We usually deliver firewood to your campsite in the late afternoon on the weekends -- if the sun is setting and we still haven't visited please feel free to pick up a bundle outside the store. Those that have purchased a vet pack of wood ($7 bundle or 3 for $20) can also take as much fire wood as they may need from any of the designated "free piles" on the property. WATER: The spigot creekside at the campground is currently closed to use. But two other water spigots exist for guests to use: 1) one behind the store and shop at the gate and 2) the other behind the bunk house -- the building off to the left as you enter the campground. One is also invited to enjoy water from Pinnacle Springs. All these are free for you to use 24/7. TRAILS: All trails are open. If wandering off trail we encourage the use of repellents and a nightly "tick check". Like most of Arkansas we also have patches of poison ivy and stinging nettle; however, it is our goal to eradicate such plants where they border trails, roads or campsites so if such is observed in places where people gather please bring it to our attention. WILDLIFE: There is only thing more important to us than you and that is our wildlife that we live with year round. So DO NOT DISTURB THE WILDLIFE!! The only exception: if you were to find a poisonous snake on the property -- please inform us so that we can relocate it to a place where fewer people gather. LASTLY -- NO saws, axes or shovels. We like our place just the way it is! If you are caught harming flora or fauna or damaging the land in any way you will be asked to leave. On that you have our guarantee. MOST IMPORTANTLY -- please enjoy being surrounded by nature's marvelous works and wonders. Unwind. Kick back. And enjoy!

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Pinnacle Springs campground offers a peaceful and nature-forward experience, perfect for those who appreciate a quiet retreat. The hosts are noted for their friendliness and helpfulness, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. While the campground is well-maintained with clean facilities, the road to the campsite can be challenging, requiring a vehicle with higher ground clearance. The creek and surrounding trails provide a serene setting for relaxation, though the water levels can vary with the season.

The host was top notch. He was so accommodating and super friendly. The property is beautiful. The cabin was well kept, clean and comfortable. The creek is running low due to the drought but it held enough water to enjoy some fishing.

If you're looking for some peace and quiet and not afraid to get in touch with nature, this is the place to be. If you're a "glamper" you should probably not stay here. The campground is clean (dirt and bugs are considered normal) and well maintained. We stayed at the cabin and it was everything we needed. Will definitely come back, if given the chance.

Creek Adventure #1 - Class II+$45.00 per itemAt select sitesThis is a short, frolicking Class II whitewater run (3-4 hours) that is very popular on the weekends. Here the gradient averages 13 feet per mile and the paddler will find rocky shoals (up to Class II+), quiet pools and rugged bluffs. A favorite with whitewater enthusiasts, 'surfing' is possible at higher water levels -- in fact, there are hundreds of little wave pockets capable of holding a boat in this reach . There are inspiring views at Pinnacle Point Gap and Cathedral Bluff. Professor's Pool, Blow-out Bluff and Bear's Cave are popular attractions. This section has a number of shoals some of which require fairly good boat control. One rapid in particular, Cathedral Shoals, is Class III at optimum levels (> 4.5 feet) while Daddy's Knee (Class I+/II) has probably 'spanked' more people on the Cadron than any other feature. Trip is inclusive and cost covers boat rental, life preservers, paddles, trash bag, and shuttle service to and from the creek.

Healing Springs of Arkansas$50.00 per itemAt select sitesLed by a professional geologist and naturalist this guided tour focuses on the healing properties of Arkansas' natural mineral springs and the geology that underlies Pinnacle Springs campground. After a short multi-media presentation providing an overview of the state's many springs purported to have healing properties we'll search out a healing spring of our own. The first half of the tour, covering a 1/2 mile of relatively moderate hiking, climbs alongside a small spring-fed stream that is constantly changing with changes in the water table. The second half of the tour, covering a 1 mile of relatively moderate hiking and one short scramble takes us to the old ghost town of Pinnacle Springs. Pinnacle Springs was once a large and thriving resort with hotels, bathhouses and one of the state's first colleges -- today not a single person lives anywhere close. We'll walk through the long-overgrown 2-acre city park that once overlooked the creek and we'll peer into the old city well and scramble among the foundations of the old hotel and tabernacle, and most assuredly we will visit the spring that gave the 19th century resort its name -- Pinnacle Springs. Here we'll marvel that the old rock work that encases the spring and which has withstood the ravages of many floods. Near the spring exists one of the largest collections of "register rocks" in the state. People bathing in the springs for long hours would scratch their names in the rocks along the bluff from which Pinnacle Spring emerges leaving behind a lasting legacy of their presence. These "register rocks" are all well over 100 years old and like the town of Pinnacle Springs will soon be erased by nature as well. Fortunately the spring still runs to this day giving us the opportunity to once again avail ourselves of the spring's healing properties. This is a "wow" tour that will leave you astonished by the marvelous works and wonders by which we are surrounded. Tour: 2+ hours covering approx. 2 miles moderate hiking and trailblazing, short lecture, handout with map, 5 min. shuttle to cross river, maximum group size 8
