We loved this place. In our top 3 of campsites that we have ever visited. Loved the privacy, lot size, large firepit, being on the river, and so much firewood to use. We seen bald eagles, turtles, a owl, 2 fox, and so many different kinds of water birds along with many just general birds. I guarantee we will come back.

Great spot right on the Arkansas River! Quiet and peaceful, saw a few barges, it was a perfect getaway as we had it all to ourselves! Johnny and Cindy were very helpful and responsive.

Beautiful campsites. We ended up getting switched to #1 which was great. All of the sites were in great shape, #1 definitely had the best view of the river. Very quiet and safe. We used it as a base camp for riding motorcycles. Would stay here again!

The host was super nice, As me & fiance were arriving late, I called her bc we had trouble finding the campsite & she stayed on the phone with us in the middle of the night for like 10 min to make sure we made it okay. The land was secluded so nobody else but us and it was a nice part of the Arkansas River we never knew existed...nice place for bank fishing (just make sure to not get hung up on all the rocks)!

This was the perfect secluded campsite. It was a beautiful view of the river from high on a bluff. We enjoyed the quiet night and the views.

I see why this is one of the top hipcamps in Mississippi. The grounds are immaculate and the family very welcoming.

What a great place to camp, right next to the water with all the hook ups. Johnny was super helpful and quick response. I would camp here again.

Wow what a gem! Passing through Arkansas and instead of going to a State Park I used Hip camp to find a place and I stumbled upon this one of a kind camping spots. Spend the extra and get site 1 - the view is the best, and look for the stairs down to the river. There is a gorge that you can explore and become a kid again, especially as the sun starts to dip. Make a fire, get a drink and wait for the amazing sunsets from all angles! Check out the local hikes like Bear cave park, or brave the waterfall hike (its a commitment!) or just sit and look at the river all day… its definitely one of my favorite places I’ve ever stopped at traveling across the US. If you’re within distance and you have the time (and your soul needs restoration) this is the place for you 👍

Wonderful location. Very close to everything but far enough away to be secluded. I enjoyed this location & will be back.

We enjoyed camping on Johnny’s land and the tranquility of being away from the busyness of life. It is close to Mount Nebo, Petit Jean State Parks for hiking and lakes for fishing. We enjoyed hearing an occasional barge but really enjoyed hearing over 20 different birds. Site 3 has heavier tree density which obscures a full view of the river but has ample shade, birds and rest. Johnny was fabulous to work with over a booking confusion. We recommend this tucked away gem and would return.

This was a beautiful and very peaceful spot! It was easy to find and access. I had a slight issue with the padlock and the host answered my call immediately and talked me through it. I only wish we could have stayed more than one night. We would stay here again!

The area was quiet and had a beautiful view. Johnny was quick to respond when I had a question and very accommodating. The view was gorgeous; overlooking the river and had everything you need to camp.

I had a great night here—very peaceful and scenic. I was the only person at the site during my stay, which made it feel even more special. The view of the Arkansas River is fantastic, especially from the campsite that's farthest on the left—that one is definitely the best spot by far. No boats passed by while I was there, which I was kind of hoping for, but it was still a really relaxing experience. It was a little buggy, but my Thermacell took care of most of it. I was just passing through on the first night of a cross-country trip, so it was a quick stay, but everything went smoothly. I'm really glad I found this place.

What an unexpectedly beautiful and peaceful spot! These sites are right on the Arkansas - right on it! There was a little staircase down to the river and you can walk along it for a few feet. The camp itself was very clean, level and easy to navigate as well.
We had the whole place to ourselves and we honestly wish we could have changed our plans and stayed there a bit longer. It's close to a few state/local parks and a really cool drive through a wildlife refuge. We watched the barges go by and the kids were fascinated by it (an added bonus)!
Johnny was very responsive and sweet. He sent us all sorts of info about the town and pointers on restaurants. I would highly recommend this camp!

This is a well maintained and relaxing site. Our dog loved the freedom to run around and play, and we loved the view of the river. Definitely recommend.
