1 night at Ouachita River Haven

Know ahead of time that you will not have cell service as you get close to the property!! But if you can live with that, being off the grid, this is one of the prettiest campgrounds you will find. The river alone is so magical, and the grounds are stunning. Thankful to have had a shower!

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!

2 nights at Cedar Creek Farms Camp

Amanda and Jordan were great hosts, super communicative and accommodating. Space was great, found some crawfish(not enough to eat, but fun to catch nonetheless), a 9 inch snapping turtle and a small snake in the creek. Horses were super friendly, and amazing. Highly recommend!

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 Hot Springs Glamping

It was a really comfortable space plus it was clean and cold which was awesome compared to the summer heat. It's right beside the water so you can go swimming or rent one of the kayaks on site! Popular places like gas stations and downtown Hot springs are a max of like 20 mins away. 10/10 would definitely go there again.

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.

2 nights at Sacred Pines

We loved camping here! Very beautiful and peaceful place to stay! You can walk around the entire pond sipping your cup of coffee and enjoy the scenery. Me and my family of 4 stayed in our conversion camper van. We Stayed on the water front site that was easy to access and very apparent of location. There is convenience of trash can, picnic table, fire-pit, which they do provide wood for free! They just ask that you share the supply so be mindful of that. The bathhouse is a short walk away, accessible to all the sites and near the cabins. I will say, it is not AC and heated so it does get fairly humid and hot in the bathroom house so word of advice. Shower either early morning before sunrise or at night when it’s cooler. There is a big field at the front of the property that is nice for picnicking and I think my kids favorite thing of all, the entire time we were there was the ZipLine! We couldn’t get them off of it! lol Overall the property is just serene and stunning! Our stay was great and would definitely stay again! One for the books for sure! Complaints: These are really minuscule and wouldn’t detour me from booking again but only things that stood out to really take into account 1. There are loose dogs from the main house that roam about so if you are bringing pets make sure to watch out. 2. It’s LOUD at night! Beware if you are tent, camping. Mostly all the frogs and insects around the pond. We had our van to sleep in or if you’re in a cabin you should be good.

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 Cedar Creek Farms Camp

This was an absolutely wonderful and educational stay that I cannot recommend highly enough. For anyone looking for a peaceful escape with a personal touch, this is the perfect place. The property offers vast, beautiful land that is perfect for hiking and enjoying the serene atmosphere. The campsite itself was private, quiet, and easy to access, yet it felt a world away from any loud roads. What truly sets this camp apart are the wonderful hosts and the opportunity to interact with their animals. As a solo camper, a real highlight was the time the owners graciously spent sharing their knowledge about the land and the animals. I loved the engaging conversations and learning about the cows, which was a fascinating glimpse into the workings of the farm's natural world. I had a fantastic time meeting the sweet horses, the curious cows, and a very cute donkey. Vivian the horse was a particular sweetheart! I also got to see a few turtles and had a nice campfire. This Hipcamp offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, delightful animal encounters, and genuine hospitality, creating a unique and memorable experience. It was a perfect 10/10, and I will definitely be back for a longer stay in the future.

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 Sacred Pines

I stayed in one of the Tiny Houses and it was awesome. So cute, well-appointed, comfy bed, hot water, and a gorgeous property. The loft bed is a little tricky to get in and out of-so if you’re a larger person or have mobility challenges-I’d stay in another one of the Sacred Pines accommodations. Even so- I would 110% stay here again. Highly recommend!

3 nights at Ouachita River Haven

We drove from Oklahoma to stay in our camper at the riverside spot with electric. It had been raining pretty heavily in the couple of weeks before our stay but we were hoping for the best. Casey, the host had communicated with us that of the riverside spot was too soggy we could set up at the top of the hill (easier, but not good views) if the spot we booked was too soggy. He left it up to us and we tried the soggy spot down the hill. After we got unloaded and hooked up it started raining and the river was rising. We got pretty nervous about potential for flooding and decided to go ahead and move back up the hill while we could. We totally got stuck in the mud with the camper hooked up! Casey was kind to get out in the monsoon with his truck and pull us out! We got set up at the top of the hill with his help, but decided we had better leave in the morning since we wouldn't be able to kayak on the river as we had planned. Before we left Casey gave us directions to a beautiful hike with a small waterfall. We will come back soon to kayak the river. The location is very pretty and works great if you want to float or kayak the river back down to your camp; that's why I booked this specific place. There were also cabins and tent camping that looked very nice. Casey, thank you again for being so kind and gracious. Bad luck on the weather but I'm looking forward to trying again!
