10 acres hosted by Johnny P.

3 RV/tent sites

Located on the Arkansas River and just minutes from Interstate 40 in Atkins, this RV/camping site backs right up to a gorgeous view of the Arkansas River and Petit Jean mountain. Water is located at the site. Electricity and sewage hookups are in the works soon! Just minutes away you have boat access to the Arkansas River at Sweeden Island Park AND Lake Atkins through the Lucky Landing launch site. This site is a sportsman's paradise as it is also conveniently located to the Galla Creek Wildlife Management Area, also just minutes away. Also, we are located right across the river from Petit Jean State Park and a few minutes from quaint downtown Atkins. Whether you're looking for great fishing and hunting or a peaceful respite from the world with a million-dollar view, this is the site for you! The 10 acres are open to explore and include three RV/campsites with water at each location and a gorgeous gully that empties into the Arkansas River. When the river is at a normal level a rock shelf lines the entire length of the river to make fishing and sunbathing, a breeze! If you want to venture out a bit, may we recommend the many offerings of Mount Nebo, Petit Jean Mountain, Mount Magazine, Altus, Russelville, and Conway; all located within 30 minutes to an hour from the campgrounds.

Riverside Campsite #1

Tranquil & Scenic Site by the River

This location is spectacular! The elevated view of the Arkansas River from the campsite is gorgeous. You can set up camp under the tall canopy of trees, soak up sunshine in the open field, and enjoy the tranquility of the river on the expansive rock shelf below. It's located off a quiet country road with almost no traffic, and the only man-made sound we heard at night was a lone barge chugging its way up-river. Johnny is an excellent host: friendly and quick to communicate, as well as helpful and informative so we knew what to expect upon arrival. Our experience was completely wonderful!

Riverside Campsite #2

Johnny and Cindy were great hosts. We were among the first guests on site. They had running water at the site electric is on its way. They joined the groups to watch the total eclipse and graciously provide cocktails and snacks. Excellent communications prior to our visit. Excited to see how this further develops as they have plans for additional improvements in this new campsite.
