Welcome! We want to note on the front hand that if you decide to stay with us you will be staying in a pasture behind a gate. This is especially important if you are tent camping, because your things will be safe while you explore Hot Springs and surrounding areas unlike a State Park or regular campground!
Our land is home to a plethora of animals that you can visit with or just watch during your stay.
Depending on the time of year and where we are at in our pasture rotation will dictate where the horses and most of the cattle herd are at. If you message me I can let you know! Our goats and a couple of our cows are at the end of the road on the right!
The animals you can see are our cattle (most of their names are on their ear tags), horses, goats (working on getting collars with names, Pickles the mini donkey (he’s with the cows), and chickens (when they go out to free range).
We also have a stocked pond that you can bring your fishing gear and fish! There are bass, catfish and bream!
If you want to love on a cow then Pepper the Holstein is your girl! She is at the end of our road to the right with our other very sweet mini jersey Penelope! Pepper knows her name and will come to the fence to talk to you!
The horses names are Vivian and Bonnie and they sometimes stay in the pasture with our campers, but they are at a different pasture for now! Vivian is the larger of the two white horses and she loves attention. Bonnie is also white, but she is a bit smaller. She is Viv's sister!
There is also always the opportunity to see several species of wildlife while here!
Part of our land is cleared for pasture and the rest is undisturbed forest. Two different creeks and hundreds of cedars adorn the land, hence the name "Cedar Creek Farms." Come enjoy the sounds of Ouachita Mountain nature and farm life with us!

Fishers Pond at the Tree House was built as a tree house for my son. There is wildlife to view: cranes on the pond, squirrels, deer out the windows. I have seen as many as 6 at one time. Catfishing is great. We have pulled fish as big as 10 lbs. I have trails cut through the woods on my 10 acres for short nature walks

Come experience the awe that we get to experience daily. The river is in our backyard and we want to share our slice of heaven with you.
The river is a place for relaxation, as well as being a great place to fish or just hang out with friends. The river also provides an opportunity for learning about nature and wildlife.
The sound of birds is one of the most beautiful sounds on Earth. It is a sign of life, it is a sign of hope. Birds are plentiful along the river and you are sure to enjoy the concert that they have prepared specially for you.
There's no need to drive too far from Little Rock – in fact, you can find a great campsite just across the Arkansas River from P. Allen Smith's famous Moss Mountain farm. This spot is teeming with wildlife, and you may even be able to catch some fish or watch Eagles soar. Stargazing is strongly encouraged here – under a dark sky, the stars appear big and bright.
Please enjoy your stay and help us keep it that way.
No parties and no unsupervised minors.
We are in the country and there are no fences. You may be greeted by neighborhood dogs. We have never experienced any aggression and most of them are happy to get pet by our guests. If they are bothering you, simply provide a stern, "go home" and they usually will leave you be. On the other hand if you pet and feed them they will be your new best friend.
We host on Hipcamp because we love the outdoors. We love traveling across the country, exploring, and experiencing new things. We are fortunate enough to have found our slice of heaven and we're so excited to share it with other travelers from near and far. It often becomes an opportunity to hang out with like minded people and make new friends.

Paron Private Paradise

Located in Paron, AR, our Paron Private Paradise RV Space (and our home) sits on two beautiful woodland acres. The property is bordered on three sides by the Ouachita National Forest and the Winona Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Lake Winona is just 2.6 miles away and does not offer RV camping — you won’t find anything closer to the lake to park your RV!
We’re your one-stop spot for hunting and fishing enthusiasts, hikers, bikers, and side-by-side or four-wheeler adventurers. The Ouachita National Forest offers hundreds of miles of nearby trails, and we’re the gateway to several surrounding National Parks within 30 miles.
The graveled RV space, shaded by a 200-plus-year-old white oak tree, offers generous room for your RV or motorhome, slide-outs, one vehicle, side-by-side or four-wheeler, and bikes. Hunters and all guests have direct access from the property into the Winona Wildlife Management Area, home to deer, turkey, squirrels, and the occasional wild hog or black bear.
Lake Winona — a designated protected water source surrounded by the National Forest — offers a dam, park area, hiking and biking trails, fishing, and a secluded boat launch for small fishing boats. Swimming, water skiing, and jet skis are not allowed. For swimming and water sports, Lake Sylvia (16 miles away) is a great alternative.
RV amenities include:
• Full hookups (50-amp electric, water, and septic)
• A quartz rock-bordered grassy garden with a 100-year-old outdoor fireplace
• Wi-Fi access at the fireplace
• Outdoor deck and dining area
• Security light at the top of the driveway adjacent to the RV pad
The grassy garden area also serves as a privacy buffer between the RV space and our home. Please note: we do not offer septic dumping privileges due to septic size limitations.

When the river is at a normal level a rock shelf lines the entire length of the river to make fishing and sunbathing, a breeze!
If you want to venture out a bit, may we recommend the many offerings of Mount Nebo, Petit Jean Mountain, Mount Magazine, Altus, Russelville, and Conway; all located within 30 minutes to an hour from the campgrounds.
While swimming in the river is not advisable, here are some swimming holes you and your family might check out while staying with us:
-Atkins City Pool (has a day rate)
-Lake Dardanelle
-Illinois Bayou
-Old Iron Bridge Swimming Hole
-Long Pool Bayou
-Falling Water Falls

Paron Private Paradise

Located in Paron, AR, our Paron Private Paradise RV Space (and our home) sits on two beautiful woodland acres. The property is bordered on three sides by the Ouachita National Forest and the Winona Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Lake Winona is just 2.6 miles away and does not offer RV camping — you won’t find anything closer to the lake to park your RV!
We’re your one-stop spot for hunting and fishing enthusiasts, hikers, bikers, and side-by-side or four-wheeler adventurers. The Ouachita National Forest offers hundreds of miles of nearby trails, and we’re the gateway to several surrounding National Parks within 30 miles.
The graveled RV space, shaded by a 200-plus-year-old white oak tree, offers generous room for your RV or motorhome, slide-outs, one vehicle, side-by-side or four-wheeler, and bikes. Hunters and all guests have direct access from the property into the Winona Wildlife Management Area, home to deer, turkey, squirrels, and the occasional wild hog or black bear.
Lake Winona — a designated protected water source surrounded by the National Forest — offers a dam, park area, hiking and biking trails, fishing, and a secluded boat launch for small fishing boats. Swimming, water skiing, and jet skis are not allowed. For swimming and water sports, Lake Sylvia (16 miles away) is a great alternative.
RV amenities include:
• Full hookups (50-amp electric, water, and septic)
• A quartz rock-bordered grassy garden with a 100-year-old outdoor fireplace
• Wi-Fi access at the fireplace
• Outdoor deck and dining area
• Security light at the top of the driveway adjacent to the RV pad
The grassy garden area also serves as a privacy buffer between the RV space and our home. Please note: we do not offer septic dumping privileges due to septic size limitations.
Nearby amenities:
• Public ice station in Paron (7 miles)
• Williams Junction Convenience Store and fuel (15 miles)
• Pinnacle Mountain State Park (21 miles)
• Petit Jean State Park (24 miles)
• Hot Springs, Lake Catherine, Lake Hamilton, and Lake Ouachita — all within 30 miles
Rules & Policies:
• Adults only (must be 21+)
• No smoking
• No public intoxication
• Pet-friendly: Pets must be on a leash while outdoors and approved before booking

They were very welcoming, and checked on my comfort throughout my short stay. I found it to be a peaceful place. Which is what I needed after being on the road for all those hours. I left recharged.

Our host, Ed, was very friendly and personable. The campsite is located right off a road, but there’s not much traffic. It’s a nice, shaded field with a fire pit. The farmers market was super convenient and we left with lots of local goods!

Amanda was detailed and helpful in providing arrival instructions and welcomed us in the evening with her family after we found a place to pull our van and set up camp. They were accommodating for a last minute stay. We found wood around the cow field and had a wonderful fire. Beautiful to wake up with the sunrise and see the beauty around us. So many animals to see! Unfortunately we had to leave but Amanda offered to show us around. Would come back! Thank you!!!!

Amanda was such a kind host and her property was a great spot for us to spend a quick overnight on our trip down south! We didn’t get a chance to meet all the farm animals, but we LOVED meeting their very welcoming dog, Mocha.

The park is super close to restaurants and the casino. We got site 45, which is a back-in site next to a trailer park. It might have been just a stroke of luck, but the first night, we could hear dogs barking all night from the trailer park, the second night was peaceful. I’d definitely recommend this RV park and will definitely stay again when I’m in the area. Plus, it was very well maintained and super clean!

We had an absolute blast! The campsite was very nice with a great view of the river and mountains in the back. The hosts leave plenty of firewood out so no need to go searching for some. Our host made sure we had everything we needed and made sure we knew he was there if we needed help with anything. Highly recommend!!!

Clean, quiet park close to Bathouse Row. Park is on the smaller side but pletty of room between sites. Camp hosts were friendly and communicative. Sewage connections were a little high off the ground but with hose supports and little RV Ingenuity we got things running down hill. Definitely plan stay here next time we're in Hot Springs

My husband, dog, and I only stayed here for a night but wish we could’ve stayed for longer! They’ve got a great setup right in Petit Jean and are very accommodating and friendly. The access to the farm store and bathrooms is a huge plus as well. It’s right off a road but there is hardly any traffic on it.
