Stories from the community

4 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

The showers and bathrooms were clean and convenient, parking spots were pretty level, the electrical hookups were well maintained. I noticed a substantial tornado shelter, but it was not marked. I appreciate the bike washing equipment. It was a little vague when we first pulled in to identify our camping spot. I would have liked to see a little raise for the rv at the dump station to make it easier to dump the tanks from an rv with a low discharge pipe. Overall, a really nice, well maintained campground that I would absolutely stay at again.

7 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

Private and great accommodations. Showers available and electric hook up I’d you need it

3 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

The A frame was absolutely adorable and very comfortable. The liftable windowed wall and direction it faced made a private view of the beautiful country nature scenery. It was calming and relaxing. The mattress was comfortable and the decor was perfect. The campground was quiet and a great setting to chat with other campers and allowed kids to enjoy run around and play. The bathroom amenities were clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend!

5 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

Fantastic hosts. Clean facilities and lots of space in the field for vans so you aren't on top of each other, unless you want to be. A 15 minute ride to the Back 40 trails and a 5-10 minute drive to Slaughter pen or Coler.

3 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

We loved this! Close to the trails and beautiful property.

3 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

The Meadow is open and yet our 3 campers felt very cozy and private.

2 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

I have been here time and time again. The scenery is so beautiful, and it gets so quiet at night. The stars are beautiful, and I just love it so much. I usually tent camp, but chose to try out glamping this time. I absolutely enjoyed my time. The flushing toilets and warm water from the sink were so nice to have, especially at night. Everything was super clean, and easy to access. Jason and Julie really have the guest experience figured out. They let you have your privacy, but if you run into them, they are very kind people. I will be back soon :)

1 night at Bentonville Bike Camp

Great place to stay close to all the bike trails!

8 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

My first hip camp stay.So chill and good good vibes from the host and fellow campers.Plenty of room to spread out,good job Jason & Julie : )

Weekend Trip to Bentonville Bike Camp

The bathroom and showers were wonderful and very clean! The site is flat - perfect for a tent setup. Great location! Looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Bentonville Bike Camp

We had an amazing weekend camping in the meadow dispersed area. Very quiet in the evening and great amenities made things easy. Will definitely be coming back!

2 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

Perfect to tent camp while doing some mountain biking in the area. Very quiet country setting, but it's just a couple minutes to town to access Slaughter pen or Blowing springs, or Back 40, etc. Hot Showers, real tiolets. Everything I needed.

Weekend Trip to Bentonville Bike Camp

Awesome place! The meadow is perfect for tent camping. You are 5 minutes from town but it feels like you are out in the middle of nowhere. Very close to bike trails! Hosts were amazing and communicated expectations, they even sent a map and said, enjoy exploring the property. Shower house is very nice and has HOT water! The only thing missing was a couple extra hooks for clothes and towels and maybe a place to set some bodywash or soap. If you’re not into tent camping check out one of their AFrame cabins. Those are on my list to try next time. Happy Camping!

Weekend Trip to Bentonville Bike Camp

This is what it's all about. Fabulous place that's slightly outside of the Bentonville busy, but close enough to make it perfect. Lots of room, easy to be as solitary as you might want. Showers are terrific, and so are the real flushing heads; everything kept neat and clean. I say stellar whether you're a van lifer or a tenter.

1 night at Buehler Farms Glamp site 1

This little site was wonderful! Very quiet and private. Host got back with us with anything we needed. Hope to visit again soon when the weather warms.

1 night at Howler Bike Park Stays

We love this place! Feels like home, and the owners run it with the best intentions for everyone to have the best experience all around! Best public showers on the planet too felt like a Buc-ee's experience 😉👍 The yurts are so comfortable and with the heat and air option to get out of the elements for the night helps us to stay 2 days and ride👍

1 night at Bentonville Bike Camp

We had so much fun staying in a little A-frame. We opened the large window during the day and just enjoyed the view. It was nice being able to include our dog as well. Jason and Julie were very prompt and helpful whenever we had any questions. The toilets and showers were also great and a short walk from any of the sites. :)

2 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

We loved our stay here! Jason and Julie are so accommodating and were quick to reply to all our questions!

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.
