Ratchford Buffalo Farms is nestled in the heart of the Ozarks on roughly 500 acres. Where our Buffalo, Cattle and other animals graze in the meadows and fields and roam the hills and hollows and drink from 11 free flowing springs. My family has lived in these parts for over 150 years ever since my great grandfather settled here from Georgia. This land has been used for may things. From raising cotton, corn, hogs, cattle and at one time my family was one of the largest strawberry producers in the state and always raised a large vegetable garden. I can still remember my daddy plowing this ground with a big black team of mules. For the past 20 years we have raised Buffalo. But the commitment has always been the same. Taking the time to help your neighbor, even if he does not ask. Keeping your word, a man is only as good as his word . Treating people fairly and with respect, if you can not respect others you can not respect yourself. And for each generation to leave the land in better shape than when you started farming it.

Site 1 was beautiful and nicely secluded away from the other campsites. The trails were well-marked and the views were lovely with several vistas and benches to sit on along the trails. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Will definitely come back and book again, hopefully after a rain when the creeks are running!

Very clean and thought out, trails around the camp were very well marked and easy to navigate. Will definitely be back!

Camping here was amazing! I stayed at site 1 and it was very well maintained. The table, tent platform, and outhouse were all great quality and well kept. Fire wood and the trash were both easily accessible. There were a few a few errant noises, such as some gun shots from a nearby shooting range and a cow mooing, but neither would persuade me away from staying here again! I will be recommending this place to anyone looking to camp near Eureka Springs!

Tent camping at site three was awesome. I had my two dogs and they loved it. It was beautiful, peaceful and overall an excellent set up. At the time this was the last camp site on the road so we passed the other camps on the way and it was secluded. The outhouse was super nice. It was clean, bright and set up well. There was access to trails right from camp.

Oh my gosh! What an amazing campsite!! I’ve camped all over the state of Arkansas and this was one of the most enjoyable experiences so far. There is so much care in the aesthetics of each site…rock-lined paths, a private toilet that doesn’t hold smells, stone fire pits, well-marked and cleared hiking trails, and so much more. Mason offers firewood and water for purchase, which is great for ease. We’d go back in a heartbeat.

It was a perfect in the middle of the woods set up. The main packed gravel road was really nice and the road to Cold Creek is narrow but easy to navigate. I would recommend a higher up car (we were in a Ford Focus). The view was perfect and the site is very secluded other than the occasional drive by of other campers at 2 and 3. I will definitely be staying here again! I was also impressed at how nice the picnic table is and the outhouse!

We stumbled upon this jem while booking a last minute stay and we really lucked out! We even ended up staying another night. The location is great for an off grid experience with all the amenities. There is a boys/girls bathrooms with showers, plenty of tools and wood for making dinner, and amazing nature spots all around to explore. Kevin was the icing on the cake, he is very knowledgeable, welcoming, and we couldn’t have had a better host! The primitive spot is surrounded by trees and very private, due to having a large truck though we ended up setting our rooftop tent up by the teepee!
