Two distinct forests rolled into one package! That means twice the amount of outdoorsy goodness to explore. The Ozark National Forest covers most of the Ozark Mountains, including the highest peak in the state. It’s awesome here when the dogwood and redbuds bloom in the spring, and when the leaves change color in the fall. The St. Francis National Forest is more diverse, with the St. Francis and Mississippi Rivers running through it, as well as lakes, valleys, and tons of wildlife. It’s the only place in the national forest system where you can access the Mississippi River from the shore, so that right there is a must do! The whole expanse of land is filled with multi-use trails, hundreds of campsites, spots for swimming, fishing, and boating, and even some amazing caves to explore. Mother Nature crushing it as usual.

The hipcamp spots are separate from the RV park meaning you will get a quiet night with lots of privacy. The park is located just minutes from the interstate. Perfect for someone in transit and not looking for a longer stay. I definitely recommend.

When I arrived I realized they also had hook up sites. A quick call to the owner Gary and I was "hooked up". Gary came by later in the evening to make sure everything was ok and I add Gary to cool people I've met in the middle of no where list. You can tell Gary really cares about the people who are staying at his little park in the middle of no where. On a side note my few interactions with the locals were all the same way. They took 5 minutes to shoot the breeze.

Weekend Trip to H&G RV Park

This was a quiet place to stop for a night while driving from SW CO to WNC. We, honestly, didn't realize it was an RV park--which was our fault--but the host, Gary, placed us a little away from the dozen or so parked campers so we had some space to relax after a long day of driving. Gary was responsive and pleasant to interact with.

This was the perfect spot to stop for the night! I had a long road trip and got on the road pretty late, so didn’t wanna stop for too long. Gary’s place was easy to find, super quiet, and safe! I was travelling as a solo woman and had no issues. Would recommend if you need a good night’s rest on your way!
