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.

Winding river bottoms, gravel bars, overlooks, waterfalls, & 200+ year old oaks! Walk on the same untouched trails Native Americans took followed later by Civil War soldiers. We've been working hard to create the trails, views, and unique experiences for you to enjoy God's Creation only 10 minutes from a Walmart!
Tired of camping next to people? With 60 acres for your enjoyment and gated entrance, you won’t see anyone else during your whole stay! 15 min from I-49 with Walmarts and gas stations even nearer keeps you close to town. You can choose from multiple campsites, but we will not book anyone else during your stay.
Camp right next to the Illinois River under giant oaks, ash trees, and sycamores with a waterfall behind you and the river in front. Or move up the hill and enjoy the 10 mile view (when leaves are dropped) while watching the sunset. Seriously, it’s the best view west of Fayetteville. The deep shade of the campsite with the breeze coming over river keeps the space surprisingly cool even in extreme heat. Feeling fun? Camp in the old dirt mine with 10’ walls around you shaded by a massive pine growing in the center and oaks around the perimeter.
Hiking trails have been cut for you to enjoy the property. Make sure to check out “Mini Hawksbill Crag”- a rocky outcropping hanging off the cliff side. Another fun trail leads you up a creek bed with multiple small waterfalls.
A couple canoes and kayaks are available to float the river if you desire as an add on. You can go upstream easily in normal water flow!
If you’re looking for fun family time with your kids, I will do whatever I can to help you during your stay to make lasting memories. We’re big believers in families enjoying the outdoors together!
A truck can be driven to riverside campsite when dry or there is a 100 yard walk from a small parking area. More vehicles can be parked on top of hill which is 5 minute walk.
There is a picnic table and fire pit at the riverside campsite. Bald Eagles are seen most days in the winter. Birders will also appreciate the feeder in the campsite.
Fishing poles are available as an add on. You can bring your own too! Catch small mouth, large mouth, bream, crappie, catfish, gar, and carp/buffalo, but you’re competing with the neighborhood beaver so be on the lookout for him! Please release small mouth besides a legal keeper is 14" (6-7 year old fish!) and limit of 2.

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.

Winding river bottoms, gravel bars, overlooks, waterfalls, & 200+ year old oaks! Walk on the same untouched trails Native Americans took followed later by Civil War soldiers. We've been working hard to create the trails, views, and unique experiences for you to enjoy God's Creation only 10 minutes from a Walmart!
Tired of camping next to people? With 60 acres for your enjoyment and gated entrance, you won’t see anyone else during your whole stay! 15 min from I-49 with Walmarts and gas stations even nearer keeps you close to town. You can choose from multiple campsites, but we will not book anyone else during your stay.
Camp right next to the Illinois River under giant oaks, ash trees, and sycamores with a waterfall behind you and the river in front. Or move up the hill and enjoy the 10 mile view (when leaves are dropped) while watching the sunset. Seriously, it’s the best view west of Fayetteville. The deep shade of the campsite with the breeze coming over river keeps the space surprisingly cool even in extreme heat. Feeling fun? Camp in the old dirt mine with 10’ walls around you shaded by a massive pine growing in the center and oaks around the perimeter.
Hiking trails have been cut for you to enjoy the property. Make sure to check out “Mini Hawksbill Crag”- a rocky outcropping hanging off the cliff side. Another fun trail leads you up a creek bed with multiple small waterfalls.
A couple canoes and kayaks are available to float the river if you desire as an add on. You can go upstream easily in normal water flow!
If you’re looking for fun family time with your kids, I will do whatever I can to help you during your stay to make lasting memories. We’re big believers in families enjoying the outdoors together!
A truck can be driven to riverside campsite when dry or there is a 100 yard walk from a small parking area. More vehicles can be parked on top of hill which is 5 minute walk.
There is a picnic table and fire pit at the riverside campsite. Bald Eagles are seen most days in the winter. Birders will also appreciate the feeder in the campsite.
Fishing poles are available as an add on. You can bring your own too! Catch small mouth, large mouth, bream, crappie, catfish, gar, and carp/buffalo, but you’re competing with the neighborhood beaver so be on the lookout for him! Please release small mouth besides a legal keeper is 14" (6-7 year old fish!) and limit of 2.
Rear wheeled drive vehicles should park at the parking area by old stable
Absolutely no hunting wildlife or foraging mushrooms without prior approval.

Sitting in the middle of an 850 acre nature preserve, you will have plenty of privacy to enjoy a getaway in the woods without being disturbed by other campers. This site is relatively flat and easy to access on the edge of a field along the tree line of the forest. You may notice old stone chimneys standing throughout the woods where cabins once stood, back when Lake Frances was a resort area in the 1920s. On this camp site, we have a Micro Cabin that is wired for a generator (not provided) that sleeps 2, or bring your own tent and enjoy the view of the stars. We have several private campsites sprinkled throughout the forest reserve for you to stay at as you enjoy the Illinois River, hike, or bike the trails. The mountain bike trails run very close to this site and the White Water Park is about 2 miles down the gravel road. The trailhead for the paved bike trail is around the corner from this campsite and goes all the way down to WOKA. There is an off road bike trail located right next to the field by this campsite along with several other trails. There are many more miles of additional mountain bike trails in town and on the north side of Siloam.
WOKA has 8 low-hazard whitewater features, seasonal rentals of kayaks, rafts, paddle boards and actual surf boards, and concessions, with shaded viewing. Changing facilities and restrooms are on-site at WOKA.
The Siloam Springs Kayak Park is located up river on Fisher Ford Rd, and has access for swimming and tubing. If you enjoy riding dirt bikes or quads, there is the family friendly Off-road race track, Gas MX, directly across the highway from Woka. We also have dirt track racing at Arrowhead Speedway nearby in West Siloam Springs, West of the Casino.

Oddvar is super kind and this is a great spot to camp. It’s not far from town but feels secluded. We loved the walking trails and the convenience of some fire wood and a fire ring ready to go. You’ll be serenaded by the frogs and bugs as soon as the sun goes down. We look forward to camping here again in the future!

This place is a hidden gem, for the price it’s incredible camping land but to have all the amenities included makes staying here feel like you’re truly at camp for an amazing value. From communal bathroom/showers that were in great condition to fun things like fishing pond and disc golf. All this not even to mention the nature trail near the tent designated camp area. WOW, I really can’t wait to come back when I have more time!

Weekend Trip to Open-air Meditation Sanctuary
My partner and I enjoyed the peaceful serenity that was in abundance at OMS. I especially loved the meditation journey invitation that made this place unique, prioritized presence, and also fun for our 4-legged fur baby too.
There are a few dogs that are friendly and well mannered that live on the property. Site was clean, wood available, hot tub is well kept. Everything was to our liking and better.
Would stay again if we find ourselves in this neck of the woods in our future travels. Thank you Heidi for hosting a very grounding time for our stay. Oh and we can’t forget about the spring water available around the property that’ll quench any thirst :)

It was a beautiful sight! The hostess was lovely and set up the outdoor shower for us as we arrived. We loved the beautiful meditation spots and the calm energy. The dogs on the property were super friendly and visited us often! We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit by the campsite. We had never used a composting toilet before, but it was so clean and well maintained, and no stink at all. The drive into town to Eureka springs is super short and beautiful and we loved the accessibility and get the campsite felt secluded. Me and friend had a great time here and would 100% recommend it.

Just got back from the first trip of the year here and it was perfect as always. Tyler’s property is your own little oasis with plenty of places to explore or hang a hammock and chill. He does an amazing job keeping the site and hiking trails maintained. This was probably our 7th time out there and just the first for 2026. You won’t regret booking this place!

Thanks Jeremy! Beautiful little camping spot tucked away in the trees. We setup a tent for kids by the brook not far from the shed. Setup had everything we needed, and having the lake just a short hike away was added bonus.
Greatly appreciate the stacked firewood and your excellent communication prior to arrival.
Beautiful spot...Smith family recommends it!

This was a nice, primitive, dog-friendly campsite. It had a clean woodland view. (And a clean port-a-potty.) Candice was great. She gave good directions to the camp, and let me know to reach out if I needed anything. I would suggest arriving before dark. I might have had trouble finding the campsite road in the dark. It was nice and quiet all night. I heard owls overhead and coyotes in the distance at night, then saw some red-bellied woodpeckers the next morning. It was a great trip and a nice site. You can see the other campsite, but there is plenty of room between the two sites. There is a hiking trail not too far away, and there are several easy geocaches on the trail if you are interested in that. Thank you, Candice!

Kevin and his wife have done a fantastic job providing a wonderful home away from home. The accommodations were perfect for us to pull our R.V. into place and feel at home with the campfire against the hill, quick access to mountain bike trail across the street, far enough away from the hustle of the town but minutes away from everything. We used this as a hub to launch an epic mountain bike adventure. We will be back again!!! Thank you so much Kevin for you hospitality!!! Wish you many successes in your hosting endeavor!!! This is a must, go to for anyone wanting a great location with full access to all of what the area offers!

Weekend Trip to Tin Top Village
Such a cute little tiny house. 10 minutes from a grocery store but still very rural feeling. Stars were big and bright. The host even setup sticks in the fire pit so that starting a fire took like 2 minutes. Host was also very responsive to messages when I had a question about WiFi. One thing to be careful about: if you don’t already want a tiny home going in, you will by the time you leave.
