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! Pepper knows her name and will come up to talk to you if you call her from the herd. 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!

This is real Ozarks camping on a working farm, just 12 minutes (6.9 miles) off I-40, but surrounded by some of the wildest country in Arkansas. Our gated, secure property sits on Little Piney Creek. With Big Piney Creek nearby and close to the Buffalo National River the Ozark National Forest, making it a solid basecamp for paddlers, hikers, anglers, and overlanders.

Once the sun goes down, it’s dark, peaceful, and still. 🏕 Primitive Camping This is primitive, bring-what-you-need camping. We can accommodate tents, vans, and campers of most sizes. No hookups, no frills — just solid ground, fresh air, and space to spread out. 💧 Water & Connectivity Potable water is available from a hand-pump well in the front field (red pump located near the campsites) Cell service is spotty — plan accordingly and enjoy the disconnect 🌊 Creeks, Rivers & Adventure Little Piney Creek runs year-round nearby Bring your own kayaks, fishing gear, and outdoor equipment Quick access to paddling, hiking, backroad exploring, and wildlife viewing 🛒 Supplies Close By Hagarville Grocery — 4 minutes away Breakfast, lunch, ice, and cold drinks Two Dollar General stores within 10 minutes for last-minute supplies 🚜 Working Farm Notice This is an active farm, so you may see people and hear normal farm and equipment noises at times. Campsites themselves remain quiet, open, and peaceful. 🔥 The Experience If you’re looking for rugged Ozark camping without complicated access, a place where you can roll in, set up, and head straight for the river or the woods — this is it. Simple, scenic, and close to the wild. Come prepared. Leave no trace. Enjoy the stars.

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.

Camp beside a private spring‑fed pond on a historic 1800s sawmill homestead overlooking the lowlands of the Little Missouri River. This land was chosen for its natural springs — still flowing today — that once powered the mill, filled the concrete water troughs, and fed the ponds below. Stay where Arkansas was being built, surrounded by quiet pasture, friendly goats, and the timeless beauty of a working hilltop homestead. Ranch & Retreat sits on a rare piece of Arkansas history. In the late 1800s, when this region was first being settled, the property was chosen as the site of a working sawmill. The hilltop offered a natural overlook of the lowlands near the Little Missouri River, where timber was harvested and milled for the surrounding towns. The land was selected for one reason above all: water. Natural springs flow from the hillside, feeding the mill, the homestead, and the ponds below. The original concrete water troughs still fill and overflow today — a living reminder of how early Arkansans used the land to survive and build. Before I‑30 cut through the area, the gravel road leading to the property was once Highway 67, the main route through this part of the state. Travelers, timber workers, and early settlers passed right by this homestead as Arkansas grew around it. If you’re looking for a quiet, private place to unwind under big Arkansas skies, this is it. Ranch & Retreat sits on a historic late‑1800s homestead surrounded by pasture, woods, and friendly goats. Guests come here for peace, stars, and the feeling of being tucked away on real rural land — not a crowded campground. You’ll have plenty of space to spread out, enjoy the breeze, walk the land, and relax beside your own spring‑fed pond. This is a simple, authentic, no‑frills country stay with a lot of heart and history. When you camp here, you’re not just pitching a tent — you’re stepping into a piece of the state’s early story.
