2 nights at End of the Trail

This is a beautiful "off the beaten path" spot to relax and unwind by the river. We loved the access to the river, and the big night sky!

2 nights at End of the Trail

Loved this piece of heaven! The River access was perfect. Sunrises stunning!!

2 nights at Thunder Mountain Private River Camp

Really cool place to stay. The river was super chill and relaxing. The whole place was comfortable, bath house area was lovely and convenient. Several trails to explore. Host was very responsive and welcoming. I would love to stay there again!

1 night at Hot Springs Resort Oaklawn & Baths

We had a great stay! The site was level, hookups worked great and the whole park was clean, new and very nice. We loved the dog park, and felt very safe with our 3 year old riding around on his bike. The location was very close to downtown Hot Springs and there was also a really cool park/playground in the neighborhood. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Hot Springs!

Weekend Trip to Pond, River, and Ridge Camping

This is truly a hidden gem. Unbelievable views, great fishing and Shelly the host was great. Big thank you and I’ll definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to End of the Trail

Took our two kids on their first camping trip! The location gave up different opportunities to camp! The lean to excited the kids. Also put the tent up! Being so close to the water was great! Great fishing for small mouth bass. The community area down to the stream was a great place to swim and wash up!

Weekend Trip to Yearling Ridge Riverfront Camp

My family absolutely loved camping here! It was secluded enough to be peaceful and relaxing and you could hear all of the wildlife come out at night. We are very picky about where we camp with our dogs because they tend to get overly excited and don’t do well around a bunch of other camp sites, and this was the perfect place for them to be off leash and explore. There are neighbors relatively close to the site, but you couldn’t even tell they were there. The canoes and hammocks were a huge plus, along with the fire pit!! We would love to plan another trip here and stay longer!

2 nights at Thunder Mountain Private River Camp

The host has seriously thought of everything here. From the outdoor games, comforts in nature, vintage soda machine, and watercrafts available, it is awesome. We absolutely loved our stay! We enjoyed the private site, pedal boating, swimming with our dogs, and the luxurious shower house. Taking a bath while overlooking the water was stunning! It was amazing to have comforts like a bathtub, shower, and flushing toilet while camping! We can't wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to Yearling Ridge Riverfront Camp

Our family of 5 had a great experience camping here. Plenty of shade to hang out under and the river was very refreshing. I loved that he had a pavilion to hang out along with swings and fire pit. My kids had fun kayaking around and catching fish. We also visited the Cossatot Falls (90 min drive), totally worth it!!

1 night at End of the Trail

This camping location is special and unique. We enjoyed the remote feel of the riverside site. The owners clearly keep up the grounds. Good value. Positive primitive camping experience.

4 nights at Brookside RV Retreat

Easy access and hookups, very level site, and truly lovely creek is just a few hundred feet walk.

8 nights at End of the Trail

The property was gorgeous and private, even in the rain we stayed dry. The hosts are incredibly kind and accommodating! My friends and family have already asked for the link and I can't wait to go back!

1 night at Elite RV-Walk to Casino & Historic

Easy to get to, great amenities, friendly hosts. Had no problems with anything. Wonderful showers!

Weekend Trip to Elite RV-Walk to Casino & Historic

Absolutely perfect site! Excellent hosts, beautiful clean property. Extremely easy to find, get around, and really a 12 out of 10.

Weekend Trip to Elite RV-Walk to Casino & Historic

The place was quiet a nd peaceful but the BEST part of the place are the BATHROOMS! We've never been in such a nice laundry/bath house while camping. If there is one small problem it's that there are only 2 of those wonderful bathrooms :).

3 nights at Yearling Ridge Riverfront Camp

Daniel was a great host. Communicated well before hand about some storm damage. Upon arrival he was great at checking in and making sure our needs were met. Would love to come back.

Weekend Trip to Yearling Ridge Riverfront Camp

What a cool site! You can tell they have put a lot of thought and love into to this location! Great place to get away from it all!

Weekend Trip to End of the Trail

Absolutely!!! Looking for peace and serenity this was a great spot! Did have a snake scare but I survived!🤣

2 nights at Crystal Camp

This was so much fun. My family and I fell in love with this place. The site was very well taken care of. We had so much fun we are already planning another trip

2 nights at Ouachita Campground at Edendell

Nice spot with views into the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. Quiet and nice spot to walk around with the hound dog. Saw a summer tanager and a few other nice birds. Wifi was a bit touch and go, due to the storms in the area, but otherwise all was good.

Thunder Mountain Private River Camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents81 acres · Caddo Gap, AR

80+ acres all to yourself!! This beautiful and very secluded property, with river, kayaks, trails, and creeks is offered to only one group at a time to ensure peace, quiet, and seclusion. No other guests will overlap your stay. You will enjoy the peaceful solitude in nature completely alone! (Note on trails: Some trails are a little rough due to forest thinning operations that were done in Dec '24. We hope to have the trails back in great shape soon.) It's a great location for romantic getaways, silent personal retreats, yoga, playing in the river, or just spending quiet one-on-one time with your spouse or significant other. The last 1/2 mile of dirt road is sometimes rough, so cars with low ground clearance are not recommended. Campers on Thunder Mountain enjoy the entire property, including the unique outdoor bathhouse with outdoor tub and shower, amazing multi-level decks, kayaks, grill, trails, hammocks, and tubes - without the cost of the cabin. The cabin will be vacant during camping stays, but you can still enjoy the WiFi and other amenities outside. Pricing: ($30-90/night camping; $190-280/night cabin - listed separately) Last minute bookings may have discounted rates. Camping bookings for 1 to 2 nights are sometimes available even if the calendar does not show due to cabin cleaning days. We'll try to move our cleaning days around to help you out if possible. If the price looks really high (like $999), that is a date that is available at a low price ($30-50) but will have some restrictions on check-in or check-out time. Just ask first before booking it and I'll lower the price!
