Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
One of Arkansas' greatest treasures. Less than a minute from the Kings River Falls Trail-head, and nestled alongside the headwaters of the Kings River in Venus Arkansas. This is a remote and rugged campground with caves, bluffs, swimming holes and river a plenty. This campground has a grand exhibition of the same sandstone formation that is responsible for the Whitaker Point (Hawksbill Crag) formation. Clovis like points have been found here, and so one might assume the bluffs and crags here have been inhabited for millennia. This 7 acre property is completely surrounded by Arkansas Natural Heritage-Natural Area. There are miles of trails and cooling waters at every turn. If you like Kings River Falls, get ready to fall in love with this Red Fern Campground. So pack your curiosity, lace up your hiking boots, and let the whispering leaves guide you. Kings River Falls awaits, ready to share its secrets with those who listen. Where time slows down and the modern world fades away. Every turn reveals a new wonder; a hidden waterfall an unnoticed cave or bluff or a moss-covered boulder. It’s not just a place; it’s an experience an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and into a world where magic still thrives and fairy tales come alive. Here, the forest whispers secrets, and the river sings a timeless song. Most of our campsites are just yards away from a public swimming area, which is shared between our property and the Arkansas Natural Area. You should expect local traffic at the main swimming area during your stay. We have a private swimming area on our property which is just a short hike from the developed campsites (Please ask the camphost for directions). There are miles of county maintained bumpy dirt roads leading to the site. Expect your vehicle to get dusty. There is a creek crossing that is required to reach the campsites. We recommend high clearance and/or 4WD or AWD vehicles. If you are unable to cross the creek, you will need to park in the parking area and walk across the creek to reach your site.

Site 3 - Kings River Falls Camping
It was awesome me and my group of friends had a really good time! The only thing that sucked was our car battery died so we had to walk 2.5 miles to get service. Also there was these 2 basset hounds that took our bread when we left to hike around the campsite but both of those were our fault. I would definitely consider putting a small shower room out there though that would make it the perfect spot.

Site 1 was fantastic! Right by the river and plenty of privacy. Just what we needed to get away for spring break. Will definitely be back!

Site 3 - Kings River Falls Camping
Amazing campsite
We had a great time tent camping at site 3. We loved that there aren't tons of people around. Plenty of space between sites. Google maps and the directions from Sam and Michelle took us right to it. I would recommend a vehicle with some height and possibly 4x4 to get over the stream to the sites. There is a parking area that you could park a car and carry stuff over but bring some waterproof boots for that if it's cold. The rocks are amazing. You are nestled in right next to the river with giant rocks and forest all around you. Can't wait to come back in the summer and get in the streams and go swimming. The water is beautiful and so are the falls. We will 100% be back.

The area is very rocky, nice and natural. River next to camp site makes it 10 times better. Sleeping with the running water was great. Good views all around.

Site 1 - Kings River Falls Camping
This place is amazing! The campsite was spacious and right next to a rushing creek. It was beautiful and peaceful with plenty of places for the kids to play in the creek and nearby trails to explore. Every camp site has a fire pit made of rocks and wooden picnic table. We loved this place so much that we booked another night and moved down a few sites since site 1 had already been booked. Our dogs also loved this place, and the sites are far enough apart that they were not bothered by other campers or other campers bothered by them. The little hound dog visitors were also a great hit with the kiddos.
