Erwin Estate High Point

Welcome to the Erwin Estate!  We've been located here in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas for almost 40 years. Located on our 250 acres is a very unique spot in Arkansas.  We call it "High Point" and it is the southernmost highest altitude point in the state.  We have a 180+ degree view overlooking Benton to Malvern to Greater Hot Springs.  Located at High Point is a lookout tower. 

Looking off towards Hot Springs National Park

The highest point in the south of Arkansas.

Setup camp on top of the lookout tower or in the woods.

Donna I.’s Hammock hide away

Years ago this area saw major civil war battles, the Oak trees at Jenkins Ferry are huge and have a story to tell.  Much of the land in the area had been logged heavily and even this land was clear cut.  It is now a thriving pine forest, the land owner is working to co exist with the animals and nature.   

She has exotic bamboos growing, with big plans for them once they are ig

Donna's main hang out spot, tucked away in the trees

Lots of this going on. Donna said she had hammocks too in case I had not had one.

View from the road. The road itself is technically dirt, but it is in such great shape that it drove better than many paved roads I've been on

Easy pull in access and firm ground to find a good, level parking spot

Potable water

Fishers Pond at the Treehouse

Fishers Pond at the Tree House was built as a tree house for my son. There is wildlife to view: cranes on the pond, squirrels, deer out the windows. I have seen as many as 6 at one time. Catfishing is great. We have pulled fish as big as 10 lbs. I have trails cut through the woods on my 10 acres for short nature walks

Christmas at the treehouse and now those lights just stay up. 

Fountain on the pond.
Pond was a little low in this picture.
But it’s full today!

North side under the rock face. Very scenic.

Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park

We are in love!  With each and every guest.  And nearly in tears with joy and fulfillment that our campground is so generously loved by so many people.  Thank-you.  Thank-you.  Thank-you.

Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park lies within a private nature reserve of hiking trails, waterfalls, bluffs, cascading streams and wildlife -- it is all here.   The campground is off the radar -- there are no highway signs or advertisements -- yet offers comfortable and safe refuge to guests whether staying in a tent, camper, RV or one of our cabins.  

On site you can find swimming, paddling, fishing, hiking, a 6-acre foraging field, and 9-hole Frisbee golf course, a Ninja rope course with zipline and slackline, rope swing, bouldering, climbing, psicobloc and more outdoor pursuits than one has time.   And Woolly Hollow State Park, Cove Creek Natural Heritage Area and Greer's Ferry Lake all lie within biking distance. 

New to camping? 

Need a flush toilet, kitchen sink and daily shower? 

Hate bugs, hate thorns, or hate wild critters?

 Or simply don't like being outside and in a primitive setting? 

Then this may NOT be the place!!

But if you want to sneak away and find a lovely little place to unwind and bathe in a forest under a tall canopy of standing pines and oak trees, then Pinnacle Springs is where you need to be.   Pinnacle Springs also offers riverside camping on the banks of the North Fork of Cadron Creek -- central Arkansas' premier whitewater stream -- and is less than an hour's drive from Little Rock (only 15 minutes from Conway and I-40).

Camp by the side of a river.  Camp at the foot or atop a towering bluff.  Camp in a cave.    Camp in a riparian jungle.  Camp in total solitude or  camp with all your friends and family.   We offer so many choices one can select a site that perfectly fits their needs.  And if you want total seclusion -- a real "wilderness experience"  and are willing to "hike-in" a couple of hundred paces we can provide that too.

No traffic noise here!   Rather, you'll be soothed by the sound of cascading water echoing off the bluffs -- great for outdoor sleeping and keeping the air fresh and alive.  Many of the camp sites are equipped with a heavy picnic table, fire pit and grill, lamp post and level tent site.   And if you like to swing -- we have trees!   Hammocks and slacklines are the best no trace tree thing ever!

And although Pinnacle Springs Campground lies in an off-the-grid wilderness setting there is good cell phone service, a water hydrant can be found near the front gate behind the store, and electrical outlets for recharging phones and such can be found on the ridge at nearby Camp Toasty.  And from March through November hot water showers are even freely available.

Guests are encouraged to explore any of the trails that criss-cross the property especially if you like waterfalls, scenic views, cascading streams, and goat trail bluffs.  The Tanner Pool Trail is especially popular after a heavy rain,  Bluff Trail offers a nice perch for viewing the river below, and the 1+ mile "Circuit Trail" is a great way to start one's day.   

Our place is a bit rough, rugged and unruly yet we call it home -- a place where everyone regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, political views, religion, national origin, or culture is welcomed to come enjoy nature's marvelous works and wonders.  We love everyone!!  So we invite you to come down to the Cadron and sit a spell.   Unwind.  Kick back.  And enjoy!

BTW:  Those that find our campground a good fit and leave us a welcoming review are always invited to return as a "friend of the Cadron" and receive 10% off on future reservations.

So happy to have Dome Life's endorsement - Kellie and Cody are absolutely awesome!!

The camping is awesome but if spring and have a little extra time please consider getting out on the creek and really enjoying nature's marvelous works and wonders.
