We absolutely loved our stay here!! Shay is an incredible host and human. We can’t say enough good things about her!
The site is spacious, clean, quiet, and a perfect little slice of heaven. It was close to the river and easy to get to after long days on the Buffalo. I would 1000% recommend staying here and we will be back ASAP!

Buffalo River Hideaway
The host, Shay, goes above and beyond to make sure her guests are comfortable and have what they need. The property is large and peaceful. Access to the river is very nearby. I would very much recommend this place if you want to float the buffalo River or just hang out in the Ozark mountains.

Buffalo River Hideaway
Such a pretty and peaceful place. We tent camped so I don’t know about the RV sites, but it was very easy to drive to in our non-4wd junky SUV and tiny trailer loaded with our stuff. The campsite was clean and has a little shed with fans and a solar charger we used for our phones and we cooked on our propane grill in there as well. Theres a nice fire pit with benches and a table n chairs with an umbrella and Shay had lots of firewood available. The porta potty was super clean and we just used the hose to shower with and wash dishes. Also a huuuuuge somewhat enclosed grassy area if you have dogs. Shay was more than gracious and an amazing host. I highly recommend and would return if in the area again.

Buffalo River Hideaway
Shay is a reputable and reliable host, and Buffalo River Hideaway had everything we needed for our trip to the Buffalo National River. The spot was easily accessible with our 25-foot travel trailer, and the completely fenced property gave us peace of mind with both our Chocolate Lab and our orange tabby cat.
We especially enjoyed the shed with solar-powered fans, which made a perfect outdoor kitchen for our Blackstone griddle. Shay has even provided games like checkers and horseshoes, adding a fun touch to the stay.
The location is ideal—close to several access points on the Buffalo National River and Tomahawk Creek, yet only about 45 minutes from Harrison, where you’ll find all the amenities you could possibly need.
Buffalo River Hideaway is peaceful, convenient, and thoughtfully set up. We left feeling refreshed and grateful, and we’ll definitely be back!

Buffalo River Hideaway
Our stay at Buffalo River Hideaway was absolutely wonderful! Shay has created such a peaceful, quiet, and enjoyable place to relax in the country, while also being close to everything you’d want to explore on the Buffalo National River. With easy access to several spots on the river and Tomahawk Creek nearby, the location couldn’t be better.
One of the things we appreciated most was the convenience Shay provides for campers. The porta john allowed us to comfortably extend our stay—twice! Having potable water and a hose long enough to connect made things even easier. It’s clear that Shay has put a lot of thought into making the space functional and welcoming.
We also loved the shed with solar-powered fans, which worked perfectly as our outdoor kitchen. We set up our Blackstone griddle along with other cooking utensils and felt completely comfortable leaving them there unsecured. It was such a handy addition that made cooking easy and enjoyable.
The property itself is spacious and fenced in, which was a huge bonus for us traveling with our Chocolate Lab, Cora. She had plenty of room to run and play, and we had peace of mind knowing she was safe within the fenced area. It truly made the stay more relaxing for all of us.
Shay is a thoughtful and accommodating host, and Buffalo River Hideaway feels like a hidden gem. If you’re looking for a quiet, country getaway with all the essentials plus quick access to the Buffalo, this is the perfect spot. We will definitely be back!

Buffalo River Hideaway
can’t say enough great things about this campsite — it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and completely at ease. The grounds were beautifully maintained, with plenty of space to offer both privacy and peace. Nature was all around us and a stunning view that made every sunrise and sunset feel magical.
The amenities were top-notch for a campground. Hospitality was heartfelt. We will be returning.

Buffalo River Hideaway
We only stayed for a brief time but even before we got to the campsite they were so sweet and accommodating! The set up was so perfect, loved the covered area for the tent and the super convenient set up to help with grilling and dinner! Even had the cutest little games tables set up next to the tent! 20/10!! We will absolutely be back to enjoy their little slice of heaven again! Thank y'all for checking off a bucket list for us!

Outstanding host, very informative, great camping location fairly quiet. A lot of animal activity mainly rabbits and dear, not far from swimming, fishing, or hiking 10/10 I recommend.
