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. There are our cattle (their names are on their ear tags), horses, goats (working on getting collars with names), Pickles the mini donkey, and our 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!
The horses names are Vivian and Bonnie and they normally stay in the pasture with our campers. 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 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.

Absolutely wonderful camping experience on Ed's land. The most unique part was the camping area was right next to the barn with a small community farmers market. We stayed up late one night with a hankering for ice cream and went right over and bought some. The bathrooms were nice and always clean. We were Tall trees over head, nice amount of space that felt relatively private with trees and fences on pretty much all sides besides the occasional car that drove on the road next to the site.

We LOVED our stay!! It was quiet, great for star gazing, clean bathrooms and the farmers market was so fun to browse around. My daughter was in love with the in ground trampoline. We camped next to another couple but it was still very private. We can't wait to stay here again and spend some time on Petit Jean Mountain!

Quiet place to sleep and close enough to Pettit Jean to spend your day at the park. If you go in the summer watch out for ants at the fire pit! Ed made us feel very welcome and being able to grab a steak and veg from the market would have been ideal!

Such a nice place to camp and enjoy the scenery. We didn’t get to swim but there’s lots to do. Slides and fun things in the water. We fished but didn’t have any bites. We really enjoyed our camping experience and plan to return!

Ed is great. Very thoughtful with tons of information. I felt like I found the real stardew valley. Ed and his community come together to have a market. Always open but it sounds like it is packed on the weekends with all sorts of local food. I stayed on a Thursday so the market still had stuff but Ed said he was busy getting things ready for the weekend. The place is very private. I only heard a couple of cars from the road. I was the only guest that night. Will definitely be back anytime off of I-40.

We loved camping on Ed's property. It was quiet, peaceful, and a beautiful escape from city life. Ed was very kind and helpful. He met us when we arrived and showed us around the property. We enjoyed having a bathroom in the barn and got to purchase a some produce and honey from Ed. It's located about 10 min from Petite Jean State Park. I hope to come back soon!
