Harper Bluff & Numu Coffee Roastery

4 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Fox, AR
Discover a secluded Ozark Bluff campsite offering four sites with 30 amp power and water, along with eight primitive sites featuring a latrine and hydrant. Each site is equipped with fire rings, and while some are suitable for tents, others have an adjustable slope for trailers. Embrace the charm of our common area housed in a renovated 1956 Spartan trailer, providing amenities like a toilet, kitchenette, shower, and WiFi for all guests. Due to the hilly terrain, our campsite is best suited for off-road vehicles, sprinters, overlanders, trailers under 20', and small toy haulers. Ideal for ATV enthusiasts, the area boasts miles of trails, including both gravel and dirt paths. Revel in the beauty of the dark sky with a stunning view, and take advantage of our location within 45 minutes of Blanchard Springs Caverns, Ozark Folk Center, Sylamore National Forest, and more. As a unique feature, our property hosts a Coffee Roastery where you can indulge in fresh exotic coffee and lattes. An onsite Airbnb, known as the "Coffee Cabin" in Fox, AR, adds to the variety of accommodations. These sites were prepared for the April 2024 eclipse and will continue to improve and mature as the landscape grows into its setting.

Batesville Mountain Campground

5 sites · RVs, Tents28 acres · Guy, AR
Batesville Mountain Campground is about "getting away from it all" with nary another soul in sight. . There are only four campsites on the entire property so you are nearly always out of sight and hearing of any other campers -- you can even upgrade for $10/night and have the entire place to yourself! It is that special!! And absolutely jaw-dropping beautiful! Sparky, the stone mason who quarried, cut and stacked every rock on every trail within the campground, has created a wondrous place to come camp and explore. We are now restoring Sparky's original homestead -- the one room Green Cabin (soon to be our new "romantic retreat" with outdoor kitchen and shower, chicken house, and two-hole traditional Swedish "utedass"–or privy. As to where to sleep ... well you may lay your head anywhere -- under the stars, atop a pinnacle, out in a field or sheltered in the woods by the river. FYI: The infamous Cadron Boy slept in a rock crevice on the property hidden from view for months before he was discovered. This is "DIY" camping -- as we have day jobs we are unable to cater to your every whim and you will have to be able to "depend on yourself" to negotiate the campground, set up your campsite and secure needed resources. Thus if there is any concern or question you really should stay at one of our other properties -- Camp Toasty or Pinnacle Springs Recreational Camp. Most people camp in 1) Sparky's Garden -- it is easily accessible, level, soft, and open to the stars. Plus the rock walls and banisters provide for a homey, safe feeling. And because it is close to privy and electrical charging station it is an obvious favorite. However, one of our favorite spots is atop 2) Deer Stand Rock which is literally perched atop a rock pinnacle -- great views but a long fall, be careful; this is NOT a place for "sleepwalkers". But you can also camp atop the bluff just up the hill from Deer Stand (and closer to your car) and still have some great sunset views. This site even has a picnic table, fire pit and level tent site (and trees for hammocks). As for privacy then we suggest 3) Piney Hideaway -- a campsite hidden from view in the stand of a large grove of pine trees west of Sparky's cabin. This campsite is so hidden we tempt you to even find it! You'll like it. And lastly, we have the new 4) River Camp -- a small campsite just above the flood plain and down close to the creek with the bluffs as your backdrop. This is your "summer station" when one needs an escape from the heat. Trails from Sparky's Cabin lead in all directions. The best trail -- the one to the creek -- descends over 100 feet to the creek and breaks out onto an overlook as you edge your way along the bluff and then descend a set of steps through a crack in the rocks. The trails from the campsites offer access to hiking, swimming, fishing and paddling. We'll be offering more info and pictures soon but wanted to get this posted if anyone wants a place far removed from everyone. You'll find no better place to "forest bathe".

Camping near Batesville guide

Overview

Arkansas’s second-oldest city promises history and natural beauty, thanks to its location along the White River on the eastern edge of the Ozark Mountains. Colorful murals, both new and old, decorate brick facades of downtown buildings, which house welcoming cafes and shops. Camping opportunities abound in the surrounding region. Find private campsites, cabins, and glamping getaways with views of rolling farmlands or the rollicking ridges of the Ozarks. Head to scenic Greers Ferry Lake, located near Heber Springs, to find several Corps of Engineers campgrounds, which offer partial hookups at tent and RV sites. Nearby Jacksonport State Park and Davidsonville Historic State Park take visitors back to the days of old, when steamboats glided along the riverways and frontiers began settling the area. Both parks offer developed campgrounds. For a more rugged Batesville camping experience, venture deeper into the Ozark National Forest to find towering bluffs, clear creeks, and primitive camping.
