This land is a six acre slice of property that includes a meadow, wooded areas, a small pine forest, native stones galore, a steep mountain side, giant boulders, a wet weather stream and pond, and 2 old tin barns. From West to East, the property starts flat but then begins to slope upward as it runs from the base of Fitzgerald Mountain Eastward nearly to the top of the mountain. The former homestead was removed within the past 20 years, creating a fantastic spot for the campground. It is located a short distance from Fitzgerald Station, which was a well known stop on Military road (later known as Butterfield stage line) in the 1830’s. The camp is only 2 miles from historic downtown Springdale, which is an area undergoing exciting revitalization. A concrete trail is planned that will connect the camp area to downtown making biking to restaurants and pubs much easier in the near future. The Razorback Greenway runs through downtown, and provides a biking connection to all of Northwest Arknsas.Learn more about this land:Fitzgerald Mountain Van and RV Camp offers 2 RV spots (26' max) with ride in / ride out access to Fitzgerald Mountain's world class trails. The mountain is home to OZ trails mountain biking and hiking for all levels. (look up OZ trails - Fitzgerald Mountain)The 2 van camper/RV spots sit at the base of a shade tree and the entry to the “Goat Trail.” This trail (named for the adjacent goat farm) will lead campers to the campfire area, "Fitzmo Barn", and Butterfield trail. Fitzmo barn has a map where you can leave your mark by putting a pin in your hometown and signing the wall. Leave your brand's sticker on the wall so other bikers and hikers can find their way to your hometown spots. The barn has chairs for the fire pit area, and can also provide some shelter if it rains.Butterfield trail crosses the camp area adjacent to Fitzmo Barn. Head North on Butterfield to connect with blue and black trails including the “best trail ever” and fantastic views from the mountain top. Head South to connect with trails for all skill levels including a strider course for the kids at Bayyari Park. Bayyari Park is only 1/3 mile away and has public restrooms that I'm told "remain open until 10:00 PM year round unless there is extreme cold."The only neighbors of the camp have a small farm to the North, and their goats and peacock occasionally visit the camp’s Western field. Other than these neighbors, the area feels secluded, especially at the fire pit and barn area. Fitzgerald is a historical area. Fitzgerald station is nearby, and served as a stop on the Butterfield overland stagecoach mail route that was used in the 1800s. Downtown Springdale is 2 miles away, and the pubs and restaurants cater to bikers. A paved trail is planned for the near future that will provide bike access to downtown.*Note* Backing up to a turn around area will be required for exit from the RV spots.

We bought our land in 2004 for riding and getting away. Built a cabin for us and our 6 children to stay in, when we came riding. We have been told that these hills were once used as strawberry farms. We still find wild strawberries growing. The hills we ride and hike in, were once used by Jessie James and his gang. They robbed the local bank in Pineville, MO. And the first Jessie James movie, filmed in 1939, with Tyrone Power as Jessie James and Henry Fonda played Frank James.

Two distinct forests rolled into one package! That means twice the amount of outdoorsy goodness to explore. The Ozark National Forest covers most of the Ozark Mountains, including the highest peak in the state. It’s awesome here when the dogwood and redbuds bloom in the spring, and when the leaves change color in the fall. The St. Francis National Forest is more diverse, with the St. Francis and Mississippi Rivers running through it, as well as lakes, valleys, and tons of wildlife. It’s the only place in the national forest system where you can access the Mississippi River from the shore, so that right there is a must do! The whole expanse of land is filled with multi-use trails, hundreds of campsites, spots for swimming, fishing, and boating, and even some amazing caves to explore. Mother Nature crushing it as usual.

I absolutely love that this place is right next to trails! Overall beautiful. Definitely a self contained campervan spot. This trip I only had my car, and it worked for my needs for the night. Next time I'd bring my mountain bike and my van.
One thing to note is that you will definitely want some leveling blocks for this spot. The flat parking spot is still a bit on a slope from the hill driving up to the spot. Not deal breaking, but something to be aware of.

We really enjoyed our stay. We forgot our coffee pot and Alana had one waiting for us at the campsite. The tent was set up, along with what my daughter called the “dookie closet” with a camp toilet. They had horseshoes and the game with a pvc ladder and golf balls on strings. It was a cool set up. Got a visit from Mister (a dog) and he accompanied us on a little trek around the creek both nights.
Alana was a breeze to communicate with and was very responsive.

Make sure not to leave anything out, not even a cooler.. They have some very cool dog’s I loved but they loved my cooler and food. 🤷♀️s-it happens. I was disappointed, most about all the money I spent on Oceola cheese and knew I couldn’t make it back to get more cheese. The people are so kind and made it right.. the place is beautiful. I’d love to camp there again. Please Camp there!! It’s beautiful!! It’s worth the money. Just keep your cooler in eyes view. Great people amazing beautiful place!! Such a stunning place!!! I loved playing in the cold creek. I absolutely loved the place but it just started ruff ruff 🐶. Then me and the blue Heller played ball and he got lots of belly rubs. (He didn’t eat my fancy cheese lol) such a sweetie. I would recommend!!!

This place rocks! The directions were pretty straight forward and the property is awesome. I loved putting my pin in the map and signing the door in the barn.
The trails off the back of the property are pretty good and worth walking if you spend the day here.
I highly recommend and will definitely be making a return trip.
