This is a camp lot right on the river bank of the 11 point river. There is no water electric or sewer. Very private campsite in the woods so very secluded. Out in the countryside . There is a small Mennonite store 7 miles up the road at dalton ar. Or a bigger town Pocahontas with more stores . You will love this beautiful setting

National forest 162mi from Hardy · 312 sites
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.

Primitive spot is perfect, flat and close to the river. Space definately gives you a secluded and private feeling. River access by primitive spot is various depths and rock bank is big. Great spot!!!

Very nice place. Google maps will not bring you there, do not use maps, use their description in their message they send you. Way faster!!
Nice sandy beach, creekside , very clear clean water. We walked in the water to fish for an hour. The water is not cold at all. Most of it may be 12 inches deep to at the most waist deep.
The entrance to their property is a water crossing but pretty. Playground set, outhouse, plenty of shade. No Internet access at all our ATT phones didnt have any.
Pretty mountains in the background. Nice owners we met on arrival. Will definitely stay again.

While our weekend got rained out on the holiday and we were a bit bummed, Teresa was very accommodating and understanding about things.
We will try again to book either this spot or through Trukees anytime.

Beautiful, peaceful spot to camp beside the water! The kids liked the rock steps down to the water and had fun playing on the playground. The fire pit encircled by lights was lovely. The outhouse was clean and smelled of fresh cedar. The host did a nice job preparing for us by freshly mowing the grass. They also were very quick to respond and offer assistance when we had trouble with directions. We enjoyed our stay!
