We are in love! With each and every guest. And nearly in tears with joy and fulfillment that our campground is so generously loved by so many people. Thank-you. Thank-you. Thank-you. 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!

Great primitive campground

We had an overflow site and it was lovely. Under tall evergreens with plenty of flat space for our tents. John and his staff were available, courteous and went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. They had solar eclipse glasses for anyone that needed them. And the country music was fun. Was primitive camping. Outhouse, and had to go to the front gate for water. But that was clear on the website and for those of us who enjoy that type of camping. John 's campground is beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone.

Tanner's I-40 Wilderness Escape

Perfect getaway!

We stayed during the recent eclipse and had a fantastic time! All the amenities we needed were close by and easy to access. Staff was outstanding, and made the whole stay a breeze! All of the sites are well situated, and the hiking trails allow you to enjoy the entire property. The kayaking is also a must! Great paddling, and quick pick up/drop off from the main building. We had such a great time, and can't wait to come stay again!

#12 - Slough Hideaway

We were unable to go to the eclipse event and ask for a refund. No money was ever refunded. Watch out.

The Great Eclipse - Best Deal Ever!

River in your own backyard

John is very accommodating, very friendly, we went during the 24' Solar eclipse, was very busy. During big events it is better to get there early to get the best spots. Many musical performances, very enjoyable. His staff would come by to pick up household trash, offer wood and fresh eggs. My only suggestion would to be that they offer a food stand/truck and event souvenir table. This is of course only applying to big events. Overall, very enjoyable, quiet, and of course the river to fish, swim, Paddleboard, kayak.
