Great for dry camping OR Parking near the front of the property (with a hose and electrical with extension cord connected to 15-amp standard household outlet - you need an adapter). Small functional farm for animal lovers - goats, sheep, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowls, chickens (animals vary by time of year). Pond has fish.

Fresh eggs with advance request (subject to availability). Vehicles + trailers (combined) greater than 30 feet not recommended when grounds are wet. May be difficult to turn around. Comments: 1) Please excuse the mess - we have many projects in progress in the front of the property. The back of the property is private. 2) We recommend repellent for ticks, chiggers, mosquitos, and other bugs during warm season. 3) The Cicada season usually starts in May. We recommend earplugs if that sound bothers you. 4) During heavy rain, there is a seasonal creek leading to the back of the property that can be difficult to pass without a 4X4. If you aren't driving a 4x4, park closer to the house on the gravel driveway. 5) There is a walking trail around the perimeter of the property.

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!

My wife and I spent a lovely weekend at Site 3! It felt very private and we enjoyed the pond area and all the trails, the outhouse was very nice and clean as well. We definitely want to come back in the spring when the water is flowing.

We loved staying here! Claire and Myke are so nice and their property feels private. The bed was comfy and our space was warm. We loved watching the goats and liked have the dogs near- they are very well-behaved. We’ll be back again soon!

10/10 recommend, this was a great camping experience. It was off the beaten path and easy to find. Far enough from the other campsites that you couldn’t even see their lights through the woods. Very clean and thought out, trails around the camp were very well marked and easy to navigate. Will definitely be back!

Kevin is a gracious host and the upstairs room was a welcome respite on a cold, windy, rainy night. It was clean and warm and roomy. He is new to Hipcamp and is still working on amenities but I had everything I needed because I’m car camping. I will return if in the area. Thanks Kevin!

Kevin is a gracious host. His place was welcomed shelter on a cold, rainy, very windy night. I was comfy cozy in the upstairs room. Kevin is new to Hipcamp and is still working on the amenities, but I had everything I needed with me since I was car camping. I even decided to stay a second night. If I’m back that way, I’ll stay again. Thanks Kevin!

Site 3 felt private to us. The area was well thought out. We really enjoyed the trails and benches to soak in some pretty views. I think we will go back in the spring when the creeks are running, it was a fun visit.

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!

Tent camping at site three was awesome. I had my two dogs and they loved it. It was beautiful, peaceful and overall an excellent set up. At the time this was the last camp site on the road so we passed the other camps on the way and it was secluded. The outhouse was super nice. It was clean, bright and set up well. There was access to trails right from camp.

Oh my gosh! What an amazing campsite!! I’ve camped all over the state of Arkansas and this was one of the most enjoyable experiences so far. There is so much care in the aesthetics of each site…rock-lined paths, a private toilet that doesn’t hold smells, stone fire pits, well-marked and cleared hiking trails, and so much more. Mason offers firewood and water for purchase, which is great for ease. We’d go back in a heartbeat.

It was a perfect in the middle of the woods set up. The main packed gravel road was really nice and the road to Cold Creek is narrow but easy to navigate. I would recommend a higher up car (we were in a Ford Focus). The view was perfect and the site is very secluded other than the occasional drive by of other campers at 2 and 3. I will definitely be staying here again! I was also impressed at how nice the picnic table is and the outhouse!

We stumbled upon this jem while booking a last minute stay and we really lucked out! We even ended up staying another night. The location is great for an off grid experience with all the amenities. There is a boys/girls bathrooms with showers, plenty of tools and wood for making dinner, and amazing nature spots all around to explore. Kevin was the icing on the cake, he is very knowledgeable, welcoming, and we couldn’t have had a better host! The primitive spot is surrounded by trees and very private, due to having a large truck though we ended up setting our rooftop tent up by the teepee!
