The best camping spots in Arkansas.

From the bubbling hot springs to the densely-wooded Ozarks, Arkansas has an outdoor character all its own. Head to the Arkansas River for unrivaled RV camping, and explore the hiking, fishing and boating opportunities that abound. In a state blanketed by state parks and national forests, finding a secluded spot to set up camp along the shores of a scenic lake or pristine woods is as easy as tapping your finger on a map. But for the real Arkansas treatment, head to Hot Springs National Park, where these scorching natural baths are the best way to ease your muscles after a long day of hiking. Buffalo River, one of the few undammed rivers left in the lower 48 states, was the first to be designated a National River. A float down its fast rapids and quiet pools, as you take in the towering bluffs and vibrant mountain, will make you glad you booked a campsite right on the banks of this spectacular river.
