Bullwick Farms is a 65 acre farm located only 4 miles off I49 at the West Fork exit. Nestled perfectly between the hustle and bustle of the college town (only 15min to Fayetteville) and the quiet serinity of Devils Den State Park (only 15 miles further on 170) our farm has a magnificent hilltop view well worth the hike it takes to get there! Keep in mind this is a working farm so cows, horses, pigs and goats are all on property and are free range animals.

Cold Creek Valley currently has three secluded, primitive camp sites nestled in 36 acres of rolling hills in the Ozarks. There are five marked/maintained hiking trails on the property. They take you through varying types of terrain and multiple rock features. The creek borders a beautiful meadow and flows during the wetter months. A pond sits near the back of the property and is a great place to spot wildlife. We are located less than 30 minutes from downtown Eureka Springs, as well as under an hour from Branson and the Buffalo National River areas. Northwest Arkansas has something for everyone - from endless outdoor activities to art galleries and high-end dining.

Noel camping 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.
