The maintenance crew at the resort constantly works to keep the coves looking as nice as possible, but it is a natural body of water, so there's only so much that can be done.*

Best suited for tent or small campers. We offer firewood, a port a potty, a dumpsite for holding tanks, water from our well to fill your water tank and electricity to charge devices and RV batteries at my barn. Generator rental available on a first reserve, first serve basis. Located about halfway between Springfield, MO. and Branson, MO. Nearby attractions include trout fishing, and a mountain bike park. Please note, This campground is located in a floodplain and weather related cancellations are common. Fish, Fish, Fish. This river is primed for fishing. You will have to bring your own boat, or float as I don't have good river bank fishing access. I added a small floating dock last year to fish or swim off of. There is a state park boat ramp a short distance away. The steps in the photos are plenty sturdy to tie boats to overnight. This river is fishable with flat bottom jet drive boats most of the spring and early summer and floatable year round. You can float to your campsite and relax instead of waiting in line at the boat ramp. Also we are located about 13 miles from Crane Creek, A blue ribbon trout park. You can camp here and fish there.

Weekend Trip to Riverdream Camps

This was our second stay at Riverdream, and we love it! Beautiful sky without light pollution, no noise from traffic or what I guess you'd call "city life." My husband & I stayed in a tent both trips, and we were comfortable in each site. Toilet/showers are extremely clean and always stocked. Water flow and temperature is great. Kings River is a short mosey away from camp. Berryville on one side, Eureka Springs on the other. The Hosts have always been kind and quick to assist when we needed it. Their land is perfect for a quick weekend getaway, or a lengthy stay. (You won't regret either one.)

Weekend Trip to Cold Creek Valley

Site 1 was beautiful and nicely secluded away from the other campsites. The trails were well-marked and the views were lovely with several vistas and benches to sit on along the trails. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Will definitely come back and book again, hopefully after a rain when the creeks are running!

Campsite #2 is has plenty of space for a larger party. Tent and hammocks available to rent.

Weekend Trip to Happy Hippy Acres Wooded Wonderland

Such a great spot! We had a group in Site 2 and there was plenty of room for multiple tents. We went in the fall so the creek was dry but I can’t wait to come back and explore more in the Spring Jill was a great host - met us when we got there to make sure we had what we needed! I hope to be back someday ski !

We absolutely loved camping here!! This place is magical! Heidi is amazing, the land is so beautiful and everything was so clean. I absolutely loved the dogs roaming around and how the walkways on the meditation trail were covered with moss!! Definitely will stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Happy Hippy Acres Wooded Wonderland

We got there shortly after sunset, but we were able to find the site, no problem! Usually you expect to orangutan hang off a tree and aim for a hole when camping, but they provide a luxury private bucket toilet experience, 10/10. Our only regret was not seeing the note about exploring the old logging trails before we left for a different hike. Check under the water jug! A bunch of cute mushrooms around the site too. Also a great site for bird watching!

Weekend Trip to Camp Bentonville

Brian was very accommodating for me. The spot was close to all my needs - biking, mostly. The property had several wild visitors at night that made it feel even more like camping. Those visitors were not dangerous at all. Good trip!

Would give 10 stars if I could. Not only is the location perfect, scenery beautiful, and very secluded, but the hosts are great. We had a flat tire and didn't realize it until the next morning. Jerry came out, aired up the tire so we could move to flat ground, and helped get the spare on. Will 1000% be coming back (for a third time haha)

Weekend Trip to Cold Creek Valley

Camping here was amazing! I stayed at site 1 and it was very well maintained. The table, tent platform, and outhouse were all great quality and well kept. Fire wood and the trash were both easily accessible. There were a few a few errant noises, such as some gun shots from a nearby shooting range and a cow mooing, but neither would persuade me away from staying here again! I will be recommending this place to anyone looking to camp near Eureka Springs!

4 nights at Pea Ridge Bike Camp

Beautiful property, And extremely accommodating hosts! Free firewood, Fire pits at each site, And a big communal fire pit. Plus size port-a-potties, And amazing outdoor shower with propane tankless hot water heater. I will definitely stay here again. I would recommend not choosing one of the numbered sites, and choosing the best site of available when you get there based on shade requirements. A few of the sites have zero shade.

This site currently has a shade cover and camp chair, generously donated by a previous camper. There's still plenty of room for a large tent.

Weekend Trip to Open-air Meditation Sanctuary

Perfect place to watch the sunset and view a starry sky. Plenty of firewood for the fire pits due to the generous and kind stewards of this amazing space. It's relatively quiet, even with other guests dotted around nearby. The privacy of landscape and bamboo thatch is thoughtfully done and makes you feel safely secluded . They really understand community living and the conscientiousness shows even with their hot tub setup. I would say that it's trauma-conscious because the guest instructions show intention they built in lights and strategic plantings and fencing making sure that privacy was a main feature. A safe container to rest, restore, and commune with nature. Sacred land that's well tended and naturally enhanced with the meditation path.
