Lonsdale, AR · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
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!

Become immersed in a natural Ozark dreamland destination at this 366-acre Tent/ Small 4 Wheel Drive Truck/Van Campground named ‘1440 Dreamland.’ If you love outdoor adventure, this property is for you! Take advantage of the ponds, the hiking, and the 5-acre private lake, perfect for fishing and wildlife viewing. Secluded natural decks speckled throughout the forest that boasts sweeping views of the Ozark Mountains exist in Dreamland 1440. The Campground Area begins at the front of the property where you enter through the gated area of 1440 Dreamland. If you are booking the Williams Rock Area, your entrance is off of Hwy 330. There are several locations around Williams Rock to camp, open cave areas, with a 5 acre lake to tool around on if you have brought a kayak or small boat. The gates will be open to Williams Rock Area by noon of your arrival. It's primitive camping, so find your own "spot" on the property, respect the privacy of others at their "spots". First come first serve on each spot. The camp spots are not graveled, leveled, etc.. just the bare earth. The majority of this property is the woods, open fields, rough terrain, etc. So you will experience all Nature has to offer. Things like poison ivy, seed ticks, chiggers, ants, spiders, snakes, wildlife...Always check with the host on the app before arrival. Arriving when it gets dark will mean you will be setting up in the dark unless you have brought lanterns. If you've booked a site, the gate will be open for you, but you will be on your own. The camp host from April 27 - July 1st is on call for guests needs, but is not on site. Checkout time is by Noon. Check in is at 2:00 pm. If you'd like to stay another night, you must reserve another night online.

Beautiful little primitive, RV and tent campground on Leatherwood Creek. There are plenty of things to do around here for kids, such as building fires and making s’mores, hiking, climbing trees, catching frogs and crawdads, fishing, and swimming. Located 5 miles outside of Eureka Springs city limits there you can find shopping, restaurants, nightlife, zip lines, mountain biking, horseback riding, and many other things. I am a stone throw away from Holiday Island city limits where you can find restaurants, golfing, walking trails, and the marina where you can rent a boat or just put yours in. There is a RV and boat storage facility on the property so if you like this area that much you can store your toys here and come back every weekend to play with them. I just got started on this new adventure so in the years to come I will be putting in water and electric hook ups, including a dump site.

Hello, my name is Hansen and I am honored to have the opportunity to share my mission with you. There are few greater experiences than being in a position to introduce the incredible beauty and story of Arkansas to you, my fellow travellers. If you had told me just a couple years ago that I would be fully committed to a hospitality company, I wouldn't have believed it. However, it is a perfect fit. To be able to have a positive impact in people's lives, while also preserving and celebrating such a wonderful corner of our world, is more than I could have ever hoped for.
As the company has grown, I have been able to add some incredible people to share the vision and deliver on my promises to you. Additionally, these partners have freed me to expand my commitment to our community through various awesome organizations. Together, I believe that we have the chance to leave a far reaching positive impact on our world.
Thank you, truly, for the opportunity to serve you and your family. You enable me to live in my favorite part of the world. Come let me show you why!

Nestled between the Ozark Mountains and the Arkansas River, our peaceful farm offers the perfect setting to slow down and enjoy an authentic country experience. We are conveniently located 2 miles from Interstate 40 - Exit 67. The last .5 mile is on a good county gravel road.
Guests can choose between two unique camping areas — our Old Logging Road campsite, tucked into the trees for a more secluded woodland feel, and our Pasture View campsite, which offers wide-open views of rolling pastureland and daily farm life.
Throughout the day, watch miniature cattle graze along the creek while miniature ponies and horses race across the pasture in playful bursts of energy. Chickens roam nearby, and deer are often spotted at sunrise and sunset.
If you enjoy fishing, Cabin Creek Public Landing is just around the corner and provides direct access to the Arkansas River and Lake Dardanelle.
Whether you’re relaxing by your campfire, listening to the creek, or watching animals move across the land, this farm offers a peaceful blend of nature, open space, and rural charm — a true Arkansas farm escape.
Please note we are a working farm and have Livestock Guardian Dogs to protect our animals. Some nights they bark a lot to protect the animals from coyotes and other predators. Your experience may vary.
Some tips to make your stay more enjoyable are: 1) Closed toed shoes are helpful. 2) Please don't feed the animals as they will always want more. 3) Keep your vehicle in the designated areas as the ground can be soft outside those areas if it has rained recently. 4) Ask if you have questions.
This is our slice of Heaven and our labor of love that we would like to share with you.
100% of your donations we receive go towards the feed costs and veterinary expenses for our rescued animals.

My family and I loved our time together on Michelle’s land. Picture perfect views, kayaks, paddle boats, water toys. We never even left the pond it was so much fun. The view of the lake is beautiful, but with a private pond and dock all to our selves, we couldn’t be pulled away! There were 4 of us and 3 dogs and not any of us had a single complaint. Also it was the nicest Hipcamp restroom I have ever experienced. 10/10 recommend! We can’t wait to go back!

What a breath of fresh air this family + space was! Got to meet animals as well right away and feed some goodies to the goaties, with an affectionate hello from their pup, mocha. They’ve been evolving & expanding so I got tucked amongst the top of the property where it was level and had a peaceful, starry night. Great, wholesome chats..excellent value system, and a basic level spot for me to park overnight on my cross-country trip. Kindness like this is another form of fuel.

The farm is filled with fun critters to admire, I really enjoyed getting to meet and pet Valentino the horse!
The host Fara is exactly what you would want from a campsite host, very kind, attentive, and truly cares for her guests!
If you’re in the area stop by a night or two, you’ll be glad you did!
