45mi from White Cliffs Park Campground · 3 sitesCamp beside a private spring‑fed pond on a historic 1800s sawmill homestead overlooking the lowlands of the Little Missouri River. This land was chosen for its natural springs — still flowing today — that once powered the mill, filled the concrete water troughs, and fed the ponds below. Stay where Arkansas was being built, surrounded by quiet pasture, friendly goats, and the timeless beauty of a working hilltop homestead.
Ranch & Retreat sits on a rare piece of Arkansas history. In the late 1800s, when this region was first being settled, the property was chosen as the site of a working sawmill. The hilltop offered a natural overlook of the lowlands near the Little Missouri River, where timber was harvested and milled for the surrounding towns.
The land was selected for one reason above all: water.
Natural springs flow from the hillside, feeding the mill, the homestead, and the ponds below. The original concrete water troughs still fill and overflow today — a living reminder of how early Arkansans used the land to survive and build.
Before I‑30 cut through the area, the gravel road leading to the property was once Highway 67, the main route through this part of the state. Travelers, timber workers, and early settlers passed right by this homestead as Arkansas grew around it.
If you’re looking for a quiet, private place to unwind under big Arkansas skies, this is it. Ranch & Retreat sits on a historic late‑1800s homestead surrounded by pasture, woods, and friendly goats. Guests come here for peace, stars, and the feeling of being tucked away on real rural land — not a crowded campground.
You’ll have plenty of space to spread out, enjoy the breeze, walk the land, and relax beside your own spring‑fed pond. This is a simple, authentic, no‑frills country stay with a lot of heart and history.
When you camp here, you’re not just pitching a tent — you’re stepping into a piece of the state’s early story.
