Lucky Island Landing, Arkansas

LUCKYISLAND'S 3 acres provide a great landing place for the weary traveler.  It is within Fayetteville city limits with great proximity to so many outdoor and cultural activities. Private heated bathroon with limited hot water on demand( European style) and kitchen station in outbuilding. 110 electrical. See below for more details.

CAMPSITES: There are several spots to choose from but only one camper group allowed at a time. So the bathroom and porch will be private. One site is at the top of the driveway and is right next to bathroom and 110 electrical.

It faces the road and is where campers would park if they pull in after dark.

Other sites are on grass and are at back of property but further from BR and electricity. These sites are not officially listed as suitability is weather and vehicle dependent. Use to be decided as campers arrive.

BATHROOM : Campers have access to a bathroom with a flush toilet and  on-demand- hot water- heater .  Bathroom is heated and has toilet and sink and ability to take very BRIEF shower sitting down. Rather Eeuropean, yes, but works with the limitations of hot water on demand and set-up. Towels and toiletries provided.

Kitchen station: Inside, adjacent to bathroom,  is a kitchen station with electric kettle, coffee maker and microwave.  Coffee, tea,  muffins and fruit provided.  

COVERED PORCH: There is also a available for cooking with a coleman stove provided. Water is available in the bathroom.

The covered porch sits in the middle of the property. A fire ring can be used on the porch with owners instructions, our wood ( for a small fee) and permission only. The porch is at west end of an out building and the bathroom is at the other end. In between is a sun room and bedroom which is not for campers.

MILEAGE TO HIKING AND MIKING AND BENTONVILLE MUSEUMS:

Lucky Island is 2.1 driving miles and 3.6 biking miles to Centennial Park at Milsap Mountain, a new cyclo cross and mountain bike park. Kessler Mountain Park which has hiking and biking trails is 6.7 biking miles and 6 driving miles. Lake Wedington which also has biking and hiking trails is 17 driving miles( dont recommend biking to Wedington from here and biking to other parks involves some traffic).

Bentonville is about 30 driving miles.

HOSTS:

Hosts live on the property in the original farmhouse and if not home will be close by. Hosts will be out on the property, tending the 8 chickens( no rooster!) and garden during the day. This means we might walk by the porch or your camp area. Efforts to ensure privacy will be made. Barring any emergencies we won't be outside before 8 a.m. We are new to hosting and look forward to sharing Lucky Island with other campers. We traveled for 7 years with a Little Guy trailer and often wished for just what we are offering.

OTHER:

Since this is suburban camping, stars can be seen but it is not totally dark due to the development that has occured around us.  I have lived here 34 years when this WAS country. NOW, Lucky Island still has a country feel except for the road sounds and the neighbors' ambient lights.

We sit on a remmant oak savanah that fronts a busy road which also incorporates Fayetteville's amazing bike trail ( the trail is still under construction).  This is a urban hobby farm with chickens (no rooster!) and garden, deciduous trees and pines.

COVID: We are covid conscious and vaccinated. We will keep six feet from you outside . While we say meet and greet we can also arrange for contactless check-in if we communicate first by phone. Bathroom, coffee/ microwave station,  and porch will be sanitized.
