The site was absolutely wonderful! Lots of room and very private. Kimberly was so very kind and helpful. She offered insight on trails, restaurants, and other local places to visit!

Beautiful plot of land and Kim is a nice host! Have a plan in case you can’t get ahold of her when you arrive. You’ll want to search for Hyde hollow road in your GPS. The 900 address on the site took us to another person’s private property which was an awkward encounter. The fire wood is what you can find on sight no bundles. Lastly Eureka Springs is about a mile as the crow flies. Would take hours to walk there and back with the mountain terrain. Downtown is cool but parking is hard to find.

Met Kim where the address led us, she then directed us to the campsite.
It was an easy minute walk. You walk passed the spring to get to the site. It was a beautiful spot to enjoy, as the heat this weekend was pretty intense.
She encouraged us to venture around and that we did. We loved trekking under the tall tree and poking around the ground at the rocks and creatures.
It’s about a 6/8 minute drive to the main streets of Eureka. Perfect for going there for the day and an easy drive back to the quiet and a fire at night.
It was so peaceful and lush out there. We thoroughly enjoyed our time

We loved tent camping on Kimberly’s land! She was an excellent host. Directions were a teeny bit confusing but no real issues finding everything. It was very conveniently located near town and an excellent little brewery! Would definitely recommend.

Kimberly’s land is BEAUTIFUL!!! crazy how secluded we felt just a 10 minute drive from downtown eureka springs. we’d never been before and loved exploring the town and surrounding woods. we had an amazing time!
I want to share a few tips for getting the best experience out of this campsite:
- take the directions to hyde hollow cabin! the site is a quick 5 minute walk from the cabin, easy to load your stuff if you’re physically capable, no giant rocky hills
- if it rains on you there’s a rocky overhang to the right of the campsite as you’re walking up to it, take cover under there! stays bone dry and there’s a little fire pit for you
- you won’t get firewood if you pay for it, but the people at hyde hollow cabin were happy to share some of theirs
- ticks are HORRIBLE, but what would you expect in the arkansas woods! they’re not as bad under the rocky overhang. make sure you layer your clothes and bring plenty of bug spray. a local in town recommended cactus juice for us and it worked like a charm

Kimberly has an amazing location for camping, right on the side of a mountain overlooking two others. Make sure you wake up early to catch the sunset! You won’t regret it. You will need to look for flat land for your tent, she’s also does have some wooden platforms that you could put your tent on to make sure you’re confortable. Kimberly made sure my girlfriend and I were comfortable and even checked on us to make sure we weren’t freezing. (We camped on the first snowy day of the year, so for our situation it was very sweet.). Amazing lady and she knows all the good places to visit in Arkansas, we came from Austin Texas so we were not aware of anything in Arkansas. She really made us debate on moving to the Ozarks. Amazing people and they even brushed off the snow from our windshield. Couldn’t have asked for a better host.

I picked this site because it looked isolated and like it was surrounded by really beautiful nature. When we arrived we were greeted by the host and her husband who were lovely and told us the campsite was down a staircase. What they did not tell us was that the staircase was crumbling concrete down a very steep hill and that it stopped about 25 feet before the bottom of the hill, which meant we had to climb/fall down to the site, where the cute wooden swing in the photo was broken, but it sure was isolated! It was basically impossible to get back up to the driveway where we had parked our car and left our gear. We are both in-shape young people and had a hard time climbing up the hill because it was so steep. We ended up sleeping on a pavilion the owners had built on the back of their lawn, but it wasn't quite the camping experience I had expected from the photos and description. I would not come back because access to the site was so difficult and not at all as advertised.

Really gorgeous site. Private and pretty secluded. The surface was really rocky and the wooden swing that was there looks to have been broken for a while. The instructions on where to go could have been a bit better but overall was a good site.

My review won't be too helpful, we ran into car trouble in Mississippi while driving to Eureka Springs so we didn't get in until late and had to leave early the following day. That said, if you're just looking for a stopover on a drive like we were, Kimberly's place was great. Clean and safe/comfortable property, we had crystal clear instructions that helped us get set up around 11pm and out the following morning without needing to contact anyone for clarification. I'm sure we'd have great things to say if we were able to actually experience the place!

What a neat site. Kimberly was super welcoming. It was “no now may” which is supposed to help the bee population, so none of the grass was cut. Consequently, the place was crawling with ticks as others have mentioned, but cmon, you’re camping in the mountains of Arkansas, what did you expect? The second campsite others have mentioned was incredibly cool. Behind the pavilion there are stone steps that are kinda hard to make out, but put on some long pants and prepare for a steep descent down to a cave and a spring. Super worth it.

Kim was very understanding on our travel arrangements. Upon arrival we got a few history tidbits about the property, and she offered up the shower and restroom in the house. We were directed to the backyard and told it was much too wet to camp at the actual spot listed. It was getting dark so we didn’t see much of a choice. We set up in tall grass crawling with bugs, there was a light from a shed on all night. That night and the next morning we attempted to contact her with questions regarding the actual campsite.
With no answers or run-ins with Kimberly we took it upon ourselves to find the campsite, we didn’t travel 4 hours to stay in a backyard.
We found it and packed up our things to move 75 yards down the hill. We continued to try and contact the host about property limits and if exploring was allowed. She eventually replied at 2:30am the day we were leaving with minor information which we had already acquired for ourselves.
Although the actual campsite was much better than the backyard full of ticks. It wasn’t kept up. There was a nice wooden swing in other reviews that has since fallen in disrepair and laid on the ground in pieces. Even though the walk is short, there is a ton of poison ivy on the trail to the campsite, needs to be trimmed back.
All in all, 2/5 stars. We redeemed our weekend by fending for ourselves. Just follow the other reviews.
Also, don’t pay for the firewood bundles. You won’t get them.

With one exception that I’ll mention at the end this campsite was really wonderful. The terrain is mountainous and beautiful, and it is not difficult to find a spot where you can have peace and privacy. We camped ina ravine near a small pond surrounded by large rock ledge, a short walk from the established campsite near the spring. Having a place to camp not too far from civilization but out of sight from any road or public trail was just the vacation we needed. We would definitely recommend this site, again with one caveat: you definitely need to make sure the guests in the cabin on the same property near the campsite are aware that you are legitimate. When we initially arrived our weekend neighbors in the cabin were visibly agitated that they did not have the forest to themselves. Thankfully the hostess smoothed things out for us and we had a wonderful weekend otherwise.

The sites near the house are nice and the gazebo near those sites is an awesome place to eat and watch the sun set. Beautiful view. But its just a backyard, with the house in view.
It was much preferable to camp at site number 2 down the hill by the cabin. It was remote and secluded and absolutley beautiful. (Address for site 2 is in a different review - plug into gps to avoid walking down the giant hill)
Kimberly was a wonderful host and we had an amazing time!

The site was absolutely gorgeous. There was a fire pit near a cave and one near the primitive site. I paid for a bundle of firewood and we still collected it ourselves. I've never had someone else collect wood for us and thought it would be a nice touch for us. But even after asking, we didn't receive it. :( and did not receive a refund for it.

Awesome, gorgeous spot. Friendly & helpful host(s). Out of the hubbub of town but close enough to lots of area offerings for day trips to wherever calls you in the area. Would give 4 out of 5 stars if only because the barn/outdoor light for the spot in the back of the house is on all night long (as opposed to being on a motion sensor?) & I was hoping to get some dark darkness. I enjoyed the walk up and down the hill to get to my car, but I suspect it would be somewhat of a pain for someone with lower joint pain/access issues.

Campsite 2 was such a treat! So much exploring on site and many delights nearby. The rock outcroppings and overhangs made a perfect shelter from the rain. Please be aware that there’s a cabin within view/earshot of campsite 2, and the weekend renters did not seem to be aware of the campsite, which made for some awkward interactions. Otherwise, superb!

Morningstar is a wonderful campsite and great for if you want to feel like you're camping in a forest but also not having to drive far out of the way. The host Kimberly is a nice lady who is happy to give directions or pointers if you ask for them.
There's two campsites, campsite 1 is a campsite not far from behind their house, which has a gazebo and an area to camp. Campsite 2 is more of a secluded area where you're surrounded by trees. There's a cabin nearby but you wont notice it.
We stayed at campsite 2 and loved it. There's a couple fire pits, chairs, end tables for setting plates on, as well as drinkable water in a spring (were told it was tested recently to be safe to drink) that tasted fine. The water runs down some rocks and through moss so it's naturally filtered.
The directions could use a little work but our confusion was cleared by just talking to Kimberly and Star. We were unsure how to get to campsite 2 but Kimberly gave us directions after we mentioned we were staying there. Both were wonderful and nice people.
Not sure why it isn't listed on here but if you're staying at campsite 1 just go to the address listed and you're good. For getting to campsite 2 there's actually a road that leads you there that Kimberly told us about after talking to her. Don't try to walk down the back of the hill with your stuff otherwise you're going to have a bad time.
The road that leads directly to campsite 2 is actually down a dirt, after you turn onto the dirt road it'll be the first entrance on the right just a bit down the road. Kimberly told us there's a separate cabin there and to not park blocking them, which is reasonable. That cabin direction is below but you just park there and there's a path that leads to the campsite. You'll see the spring from where you park and the campsite isn't far from that. You will have to walk your things a short distance so be prepared for that, but this way is so much easier than trying to trek down a steep hill.

The directions were our only qualm though and I definitely recommend this campsite.

The site had a beautiful view, but the camping spot was a bit close to the house and it felt more like sleeping in a back yard. There was a very nice gazebo close to the camp site and it worked very well with our dog, as this was the first time we had taken him camping with us. The property is rather steep and can make for some difficulty hiking, with no clear direction/trails cut out. The camping spot is a ways away from where you park and that made the load out more difficult, as we had to make several trips taking everything back and fourth. Overall, we had a great time there. The property is close to eureka springs downtown and a dog park. We were able to explore the town and the surrounding trails with ease. Lots of shade on the property also.

This was a fantastic place to stay for our short camping trip! The owners kept up the property very nicely and the view from the gazebo was amazing! The campsite location itself however was very confusing. We were expecting the site that is pictured by the wooden swing, surrounded by trees. We could not find that location based on the directions; the address only took us to the house itself. I wish there had been more specific directions because there is a hidden road that takes you to a parking area that would make camping in that area possible, however we did not discover it until the end of our trip by hiking down the side of the mountain down some covered stone steps (behind the gazebo). However, we just ended up camping near the gazebo, which provided amazing views and overall worked out for the best! I would like to come back some time in the future and actually camp at the spot pictured, but the entire property is beautiful and we had a fantastic time!

We enjoyed how private yet close to town this site was.
However, it was near impossible to find, there are NO toilets (contrary to the description), and the largest spiders I have ever seen were crawling EVERYWHERE.
As soon as it got dark we had to lock ourselves in our tent because they were crawling all over us. Unlike anything I have ever seen. The two chairs provided were also broken. I do not want to bash this site by any means, but I wish I would have known these things prior.
