The campsite was an old hillbilly encampment. I've cleaned it up for your enjoyment. The property is a working sheep ranch with mature forest, prairie, ponds, and a creek. Plenty of hiking, swimming, and exploring from camp or ask me about the best local places to hike and swim.

Small working farm with Phoenix and Wellsummers chickens, ducks, Sebastopol geese, horses, a cand dogs—an Irish Wolfhound, Australian Silky Terriers and two old Yorkies. . Peaceful spot in side of a large yard. Access to the City of Goshen Parks, trails, bike trails and playgrounds is within a half a mile. There is electric at the campsite. There is access to water, but not at the campsite. It is very quiet and peaceful on a paved road. There is a limit of a week on camping at the site.

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! -Hansen

Weekend Trip to Bigfoot County Campgrounds

Found some trees perfect for a hammock, hiked down the rock trail, made a campfire cake, had camp coffee and enjoyed the scenery. It was my kind of party. Camper was in good shape, smelled and looked clean. Having a flushable toilet, a queen size bed to sleep in, and the option to use the stove were all very convenient (especially with a 4 year old). Great place for the price, I enjoyed the atmosphere and it was peaceful and fun. Host was responsive.

I felt like my dog and I had the entire beautiful property to ourselves. I was traveling across the country and arrived late at night after a long day of travel, but we were able to still easily set up for the night based on the instructions. The sky of stars, without any light pollution, was spectacular! We had a great time and would love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Wilderness Rider Buffalo Ranch

This was one of the most beautiful camping spots I’ve had the pleasure of using. It’s located in the Wilderness Rider Buffalo Ranch & Adventure Park so you can look at the camping spots online. I did not know this but in calling, Rick guided me through the whole thing with so much patience. We ended up at Sunrise Knoll and it was incredible! Great stone fire pit, 360 view of the hills and valleys, 30 yds from the outhouse. We had neighbors but couldn’t see or hear them. Dogs had the best time running around and the stars were out of this world. Even saw the buffalo when leaving the park the next day! We will be back and can’t wait to try a different spot to experience even more of this treasure. Can’t recommend enough

Great location. Donny greeted us cordially and provided tips on things to do and see in the huge ranch. Regrettably our schedule didn’t allow us to fully explore. Next time….

We had a great stay at the ranch and would definitely come back! We stayed at Meadow View "D" and loved the wide-open space — perfect for parking our bus, and even after rain the drive in was easy. During our visit we hiked over 12 miles and highly recommend checking out the lookout and the blue lagoon — both were highlights of the trip. The sunrise in the mornings was absolutely spectacular, and the night sky full of stars made the evenings magical. We were fairly close to the outhouse (convenient!) and also near some neighbors who were a bit questionable, but overall it didn’t affect our stay too much. This is a wonderful spot with so much natural beauty, and we’re already hoping to be back!
