Fishers Pond at the Treehouse

Fishers Pond at the Tree House was built as a tree house for my son. There is wildlife to view: cranes on the pond, squirrels, deer out the windows. I have seen as many as 6 at one time. Catfishing is great. We have pulled fish as big as 10 lbs. I have trails cut through the woods on my 10 acres for short nature walks

Christmas at the treehouse and now those lights just stay up. 

Fountain on the pond.
Pond was a little low in this picture.
But it’s full today!

North side under the rock face. Very scenic.

Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park

We are in love!  With each and every guest.  And nearly in tears with joy and fulfillment that our campground is so generously loved by so many people.  Thank-you.  Thank-you.  Thank-you.

Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park lies within a private nature reserve of hiking trails, waterfalls, bluffs, cascading streams and wildlife -- it is all here.   The campground is off the radar -- there are no highway signs or advertisements -- yet offers comfortable and safe refuge to guests whether staying in a tent, camper, RV or one of our cabins.  

On site you can find swimming, paddling, fishing, hiking, a 6-acre foraging field, and 9-hole Frisbee golf course, a Ninja rope course with zipline and slackline, rope swing, bouldering, climbing, psicobloc and more outdoor pursuits than one has time.   And Woolly Hollow State Park, Cove Creek Natural Heritage Area and Greer's Ferry Lake all lie within biking distance. 

New to camping? 

Need a flush toilet, kitchen sink and daily shower? 

Hate bugs, hate thorns, or hate wild critters?

 Or simply don't like being outside and in a primitive setting? 

Then this may NOT be the place!!

But if you want to sneak away and find a lovely little place to unwind and bathe in a forest under a tall canopy of standing pines and oak trees, then Pinnacle Springs is where you need to be.   Pinnacle Springs also offers riverside camping on the banks of the North Fork of Cadron Creek -- central Arkansas' premier whitewater stream -- and is less than an hour's drive from Little Rock (only 15 minutes from Conway and I-40).

Camp by the side of a river.  Camp at the foot or atop a towering bluff.  Camp in a cave.    Camp in a riparian jungle.  Camp in total solitude or  camp with all your friends and family.   We offer so many choices one can select a site that perfectly fits their needs.  And if you want total seclusion -- a real "wilderness experience"  and are willing to "hike-in" a couple of hundred paces we can provide that too.

No traffic noise here!   Rather, you'll be soothed by the sound of cascading water echoing off the bluffs -- great for outdoor sleeping and keeping the air fresh and alive.  Many of the camp sites are equipped with a heavy picnic table, fire pit and grill, lamp post and level tent site.   And if you like to swing -- we have trees!   Hammocks and slacklines are the best no trace tree thing ever!

And although Pinnacle Springs Campground lies in an off-the-grid wilderness setting there is good cell phone service, a water hydrant can be found near the front gate behind the store, and electrical outlets for recharging phones and such can be found on the ridge at nearby Camp Toasty.  And from March through November hot water showers are even freely available.

Guests are encouraged to explore any of the trails that criss-cross the property especially if you like waterfalls, scenic views, cascading streams, and goat trail bluffs.  The Tanner Pool Trail is especially popular after a heavy rain,  Bluff Trail offers a nice perch for viewing the river below, and the 1+ mile "Circuit Trail" is a great way to start one's day.   

Our place is a bit rough, rugged and unruly yet we call it home -- a place where everyone regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, political views, religion, national origin, or culture is welcomed to come enjoy nature's marvelous works and wonders.  We love everyone!!  So we invite you to come down to the Cadron and sit a spell.   Unwind.  Kick back.  And enjoy!

BTW:  Those that find our campground a good fit and leave us a welcoming review are always invited to return as a "friend of the Cadron" and receive 10% off on future reservations.

So happy to have Dome Life's endorsement - Kellie and Cody are absolutely awesome!!

The camping is awesome but if spring and have a little extra time please consider getting out on the creek and really enjoying nature's marvelous works and wonders.

Camp at Dale & Sons Farm

This farm was owned by my grandfather and has been used for a small cattle farm since the mid-1950s.Learn more about this land:Camp site is located in the valley of two mountains.  We allow you to help pick out the best site from you.  We have spots that are completely secluded and also have sites that have electricity, but are closer to a road.

We keep the farm looking good year round.

Finding a little shade can be really relaxing.  Why stay at a campsite when you can have so much more space to yourself.

Some times you need a little more horsepower than a golfcart to get up the mountain slopes

We have completely wooded areas on the farm.  That is where the deer hang out.

Petit Jean Farm Orchard

Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent or park your small trailer or RV in a picturesque orchard on the edge of Petit Jean Mountain. You'll have a backdrop of woods and grazing sheep, with the Petit Jean Farmer's Market barn -- offering locally sourced produce, cheese (some made on the premises), baked goods, honey, preserves, meat, and crafts -- only steps away. The market operates on Saturdays, when hot lunches are often served, but it is open on a self-serve basis the rest of the week.  Petit Jean State State Park is a very short drive, with spectacular hiking trails, a CCC-built lodge and restaurant, and a lake. Campers are welcome to use the fire pit, grill, and trampoline, and they have access to the half-bath in the barn. They're also more than welcome to help Ed with the chores : ) An electric hookup is $10. Firewood is available for $10. 

Donkeys and sheep may join you in the orchard from time-to-time.

The ground-level trampoline is at your disposal.

Dinner on Ed’s cooker using some stewed tomatoes from the market + fresh basil from the garden!
