This is a camp lot right on the river bank of the 11 point river. There is no water electric or sewer. Very private campsite in the woods so very secluded. Out in the countryside . There is a small Mennonite store 7 miles up the road at dalton ar. Or a bigger town Pocahontas with more stores . You will love this beautiful setting

3 nights at Primitive camp

Primitive spot is perfect, flat and close to the river. Space definately gives you a secluded and private feeling. River access by primitive spot is various depths and rock bank is big. Great spot!!!

Weekend Trip to Primitive camp

While our weekend got rained out on the holiday and we were a bit bummed, Teresa was very accommodating and understanding about things. We will try again to book either this spot or through Trukees anytime.
