My new favorite hipcamp! A wonderfully kept site with many amenities. (chairs, lights, picnic tables, established fire pit, and chiminea), a short private hiking trail, and river accesses. I can't wait to come back in the spring and summer and shuttle our kayaks!

Weekend Trip to Riverdream Camps
Very cute spot! The cabin was super cosy. My favorite part was the camp kitchen! Bathrooms were nice and had an outhouse closer to camps for those who didn’t feel like walking. Hosts were very kind.

We had a great time camping with my 3 dogs and my cat! It was sunny the first day and it was wonderful exploring the river with all my animals. Very secluded and private and we didn’t see anyone during our 3 day stay. It did rain A LOT towards the end which made it super muddy and a little hard to get out when we were leaving, but we still had a blast!

The camp setup was perfect for our family of 3. The tent was really comfortable, and the “kitchen” was super convenient. River access was close but not incredibly easy due to the slope of the bank, but the little beach was a perfect spot to hang out, swim and fish. There were other sites nearby and some noise, but nothing too bothersome. I highly recommend this spot for a small family.

Beautiful scenery in NW Arkansas. Tyler's property is close to any amenity you will ever need, but far enough to feel secluded. Be prepared for a hike if it has rained, but nonetheless a beautiful setup for camping.
We had three families for our trip. Each family had 3 children ages 2-8 years old. Even with the river high from recent storms, we felt safe with our kids there and near the water. We "fished" all day, went on multiple hikes, and enjoyed family dinners together around the fire.
Our kids were filthy and stinky and had a wonderful time. Thanks to Tyler for sharing his property with us.

I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve camped here. It’s our favorite spot anywhere around in AR or OK. The river is right there, the campsite is completely shaded. Plenty of spots to hang a hammock. It’ll blow your dogs mind having all that space to themselves. Book the place, you won’t regret it.

This site was awesome! Great for small or larger groups. Lots of room for tents, Super close to the river, and the site itself is very shaded which was a blessing. The drive in wasn’t too bad if u have a 4x4. We didn’t see anyone else on the river, it was very peaceful. The water was super refreshing and there are some real nice swimming spots. The fishing was great too. Caught a lot of smallmouth, largemouth, bluegill varieties, gar, and some Buffalo fish. There’s a Dollar General 10 minutes away if you forget any basics. 10/10 would definitely return. Tyler was very accommodating and he’s got some great extras that made the trip run even smoother!

Amazing view, amazing host, ask host for good places to eat. We made the mistake and ate horrible food that made my husband and myself sick. She then gave a list of places to go. Also she can recommend things to do if you don’t already know.

Tyler’s campsite is amazing! Totally private with woods and water. Tyler has firewood and kayaks available to add on. The most amazing part was that my golden retriever could run free. We can’t wait to come back!

I loved tent camping on Tyler's property! He kept up consistent communication, he explained everything very thoroughly. We loved the kayaking as we are new to it, it was great to have those available and the lookout point was beautiful. Everything was set up very nice and cozy and it was very clean.

This place is a true hidden gem. My son and I embark on an annual camping trip, and we’ve found our ideal retreat to revisit for years to come. Tyler and his boys went above and beyond to ensure the property was perfectly prepared for our arrival. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, swimming, exploring, hiking, and eating way too many s'mores around memorable campfires. As someone who prefers solitude over crowded campgrounds, I appreciated the seclusion this location offered, providing the perfect escape for a few days. Highly recommend—10/10.

Incredible trip! Tyler provided excellent directions, and we found the site with no issues. He was extremely responsive and even left us a few extras because of the muddy road. The campsite was cleared and well maintained, with a fire pit, lounge chairs and two picnic tables. It was completely shaded (SO NICE) and right on the river. There is also a set of lounge chairs and small chimney in the perfect spot for watching the kids and sunsets, overlooking the water. The river itself was also amazing! We only swam and floated on tubes but it was super relaxing and my kiddo loved it. We also brought our dogs and they had an excellent time running and swimming off-leash. The bugs and ticks were minimal (did we get lucky? lol) and Tyler offered suggestions to mitigate. We had a few (of our own) obstacles when packing up and Tyler was extremely accommodating and understanding. Overall I would say this trip was 10/10. Would highly recommend. THANK YOU, TYLER!!?

We only stayed one night. We went as a quick family trip for Father’s Day. It rained the entire time. This is, of course, completely out of the control of the owner/host. So we do not hold it against them haha. We did have about an hour break in the rain that evening and we took that opportunity to do a little fishing right on the bank of Kings River and grill some burgers and turkey dogs. The only thing that was “inconvenient”, if I had to pick something, is that the grill was actually a grate over the fire pit. Which really wasn’t an inconvenience so much as it was just unexpected. If I had known this beforehand, I would have brought along some cast iron, or at the very least, aluminum foil. The food still turned out great and we had plenty of firewood. We purchased an extra bundle and didn’t even need it since the host graciously supplied the first one. I can’t speak on the actual bathrooms because we didn’t use them. They were back up the hill from the yurt. However, there is a porta potty located at about the middle of the 3 surrounding spots. As well as a fully functioning sink in the kitchen areas. The bed was comfortable. The fan felt great. We stayed completely dry even though it rained the whole time. The yurt and the site were very clean. I also MUST mention, the water was so crystal clear. I could see my daughters feet and every rock she was standing on FROM THE BANK! It was beautiful! Just remember, Glamping is still camping!!! We will definitely ‘Glamp’ again!!!

This is a magical place. All of the creatures, the water, trees and so much space. I took 10 people here and we had a blast. Close to town, there is a lake loop trail 5 mins away, and the waterfall by camp made for a peaceful retreat. The baby geese came on land to eat worms, the birds sang to us and are so curious. Tyler is a great guy and will go out of his way to serve. I’ll be back for sure.

The best beach camping near Noel guide
Where to go
Grand Lake State Park
Oklahoma’s Grand Lake O' The Cherokees has an astounding 46,000 acres of water, making it one of the largest in Oklahoma. Grand Lake State Park is located on its shores and encompasses several smaller lakes. Fishing, boating, paddling, and watersports abound. Honey Creek Campground is the closest to Noel. Tent and RV sites offer various amenities, with water/electric hookups and concrete pads available.
Northwest Arkansas
South of Noel, you’ll find one of Arkansas’s most hopping regions, where the cities of Bentonville, Fayetteville, and Rogers come together, along with several small towns, to create a mini-metro area, full of foodie-approved restaurants, cultural attractions, and a chic downtown. Several private RV parks and glamping rentals are found across the region, providing easy access to all of the shopping and dining options, as well as the natural beauty of the Boston Mountains. Public campgrounds are found along the shores of Beaver Lake and in Devil’s Den State Park, which offers cabins in addition to the tent and RV sites.
Roaring River State Park
Approximately an hour east of Noel, Roaring River State Park is a scenic spot best known for the trout fishing found in the spring-fed waters. Biking and hiking trails meander through the Ozark woodlands, some offering views of unique rock formations and sparkling waterways. Tent and RV campsites are offered, some with electric hookups. Rustic cabin rentals are also available.
When to go
Thanks to the waterways, summertime is a popular time to visit Noel. The refreshing waters provide relief from the heat and humidity of summers in southern Missouri. If you don’t plan to make a splash, spring and fall are also good times to visit, as wildflowers and green leaves make their spring appearance and fall delights with the annual autumnal colors. Winter is generally cold, with occasional bouts of snow and ice, making it a less pleasant time for camping.
