We love our guests and we love your pictures. Thank you all so very much. IMPORTANT: If you (or your vehicle) are unaccustomed to gravel roads and short, steep hills PLEASE stay atop the ridge at Camp Toasty. Campsites adjoining the river are not well suited to low clearance vehicles and inexperienced drivers. When in doubt: stay out! Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park lies within a private nature reserve of hiking trails, waterfalls, bluffs, cascading streams and wildlife -- it is all here. The campground is off the radar -- there are no highway signs or advertisements -- yet offers comfortable and safe refuge to guests whether staying in a tent, camper, RV or one of our cabins. On site you can find swimming, paddling, fishing, hiking, a 6-acre foraging field, and 9-hole Frisbee golf course, a Ninja rope course with zipline and slackline, rope swing, bouldering, climbing, psicobloc and more outdoor pursuits than one has time. And Woolly Hollow State Park, Cove Creek Natural Heritage Area, and Greer's Ferry Lake all lie within biking distance. New to camping? Need a flush toilet, kitchen sink and faucet? Hate bugs, thorns or wild critters? Steep rough roads? Dust and gravel? Or simply don't like being outside in the weather and in a primitive setting? Then this is NOT the place for you!! NO! NO! NO! But if you want to sneak away and find a lovely little place to unwind and bathe in a forest under a tall canopy of standing pines and oak trees, then Pinnacle Springs is where you need to be. Pinnacle Springs offers stream side camping on the banks of the North Fork of Cadron Creek -- central Arkansas' premier whitewater stream -- and is less than an hour's drive from Little Rock (only 15 minutes from Conway and I-40). Camp by the side of a river. Camp at the foot or atop a towering bluff. Camp in a cave. Camp in a riparian jungle. Camp in total solitude or camp with all your friends and family. We offer so many choices one can select a site that perfectly fits your needs. And if you want total seclusion -- a real "wilderness experience" and are willing to "hike-in" a couple of hundred paces we can provide that too. FYI: If you are unaccustomed to STEEP dirt roads do NOT reserve a site on the island -- sites atop the ridge in Camp Toasty are much easier to access. No traffic noise here! Rather, you'll be soothed by the sound of cascading water echoing off the bluffs -- great for outdoor sleeping and keeping the air fresh and alive. Many of the camp sites are equipped with a heavy picnic table, fire pit and grill, lamp post and level tent site. And if you like to swing -- we have trees! Hammocks and slacklines are the best no trace tree things ever! And although Pinnacle Springs Campground lies in an off-the-grid wilderness setting there is good cell phone service, a water hydrant can be found near the front gate behind the store, and electrical outlets for recharging phones and such can be found on the ridge at nearby Camp Toasty. And from March through November hot water showers are even freely available. Guests are encouraged to explore any of the trails that criss-cross the property especially if you like waterfalls, scenic views, cascading streams, and goat trail bluffs. The Tanner Pool Trail is especially popular after a heavy rain, Bluff Trail offers a nice perch for viewing the river below, and the 1+ mile "Circuit Trail" is a great way to start one's day. Our place is a bit rough, rugged and unruly yet we call it home -- a place where everyone regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, political views, religion, national origin, or culture is welcomed to come enjoy nature's marvelous works and wonders. We love everyone!! So we invite you to come down to the Cadron and sit a spell. Unwind. Kick back. And enjoy! BTW: We don't take kindly to folks trashing our property. We are a "LEAVE NO TRACE FACILITY" thus if you bring it, you take it! Best to also leave axes, shovels and hammer and nails at home. Thanks.

Site 1 - Camp Toasty - RV Electric

Best church camping trip ever!

The owners went above and beyond to make a church camping trip one to remember. From the firework show for the 4th, and accommodating our RV hook up needs by buying a part we needed...they truly gave us a relaxation weekend full of unforgettable memories. The water was amazing, the beauty is breathtaking...the newly built porta potties were exceptionally clean. I can't say enough good things about the entire place. So much to do, so much to see and the sunsets...🤍❤️💙

Tanner's I-40 Wilderness Escape

Fantastic spot!

We really enjoyed our night at this campground. A tropical depression was coming in and John was wonderful enough to let us set up down at the pavilion. This turned out to be a HUGE blessing, as storms got pretty intense. We did have to make a run at the hill in the morning to get out, but it really wasn't horrible. To be fair -- I grew up learning to drive in WV and lived on top of a hill with a gravel road though. Anyway, we all agreed that was the cleanest, nicest pit toilet/porta potties ever. Due to the rain, we didn't get to enjoy activities, but we definitely enjoyed the campground.

#3 - Creekside: Peachy Beach

Perfect primitive camping

Loved our stay at pinnacle springs! Great campsites right by the creek. Good, secluded campground for primitive camping. Our group stayed at sites 2 & 3 and 3 had better creek access. Would recommend!

#7 -Creekside: Wes's Heaven

Exciting 4 day, 3 night stay

I really enjoyed tent camping with my boyfriend and our 3 dogs for the 4th of July. Aside from the dogs not being keen on fireworks, our first camping experience was awesome. The camp site had plenty of space, including cool shade with the amount of trees on site and the river was also refreshing. We enjoyed the site’s amenities, from the quirky two pigs, sweet rescue dog, horseshoe games, axe throwing, and hiking trails. John and his crew were super accommodating and kind. We got to interact with them at least twice a day as they drove around the site to check on everything. They also made deliveries when we needed a portable power supply and ice. Firewood and other supplies were readily accessible at the main building. I would definitely stay at this camp site again or recommend it to friends. Thank you!!

Site 3 - Camp Toasty - Electric

Great, summer camping!

This camp location is a primative, not for beginners site. It's at a great location for summer camping with the beautiful creek to cool down in. It was clean, safe and family friendly. The only drawback was the lack of electric access sites and that can be challenging on summer nights. Also, plan on bringing a four wheel drive, some driving paths were very steep and rocky. Overall, my family loved this site and we will definately visit again.
