Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park

99 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Greenbrier, AR

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.

Camp Ouachitaj Mahal

4 sites · RVs1 acre · Hot Springs, AR

Come watch the total solar eclipse over beautiful Lake Catherine, nestled in the lovely Ouachita Mountains. Our property is on Spencer Bay of Lake Catherine just outside Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. It is conveniently located 12 miles off of I-30. Easy access to golf courses, Gulpha Creek, local parks, state parks, national forests, Garvan Gardens, Oaklawn race track and casino, historic Bathhouse Row, and many other attractions. Public boat ramps are available in nearby parks, and this area has all of the fishing opportunities you could want. We do not have a dock or ramp on our property, but guests are welcome to put in at one of the public ramps, boat up, and tie off at our shore. Smaller boats, canoes, and kayaks which can be carried without a trailer can put in in front of our trailer. The site is grass parking between two roads, so you can pull through. The site recently had a mobile home on it, so there is a sewer inlet there. I have not put in any adapters to connect RV's, but you are welcome to connect it if you have fittings to do so. We do have one 30 amp outlet, but it is on the adjacent lot and would require an extension cord specific to an RV outlet. Our family has an adjacent property with a mobile home right on the shore. Pictures of the lake were taken from that shore. Our place is between camp sites and the shore, so the view of the lake is not unobstructed. Guests are welcome to join us on the shore to fish, use the fire pit, or just enjoy the lake. The area is more private than a state park, but there is a locals' bar directly adjacent to our property. It is not open for business at the time of this listing, but it could reopen in the future. When it is open, there is a steady but surpisingly quiet trickle of regulars in and out of the bar's parking lot. I have noted its location in some of the photos. Patrons are only loud when the Razorbacks score, which is unfortunately not very often. During the eclipse, we will be on-site and will have a makeshift outdoor kitchen with a fish/dish cleaning table and a camp stove table. We do not have a bath house at this time.
