One of Arkansas' greatest treasures. Less than a minute from the Kings River Falls Trail-head, and nestled alongside the headwaters of the Kings River in Venus Arkansas. This is a remote and rugged campground with caves, bluffs, swimming holes and river a plenty. This campground has a grand exhibition of the same sandstone formation that is responsible for the Whitaker Point (Hawksbill Crag) formation. Clovis like points have been found here, and so one might assume the bluffs and crags here have been inhabited for millennia. This 7 acre property is completely surrounded by Arkansas Natural Heritage-Natural Area. There are miles of trails and cooling waters at every turn. If you like Kings River Falls, get ready to fall in love with this Red Fern Campground. So pack your curiosity, lace up your hiking boots, and let the whispering leaves guide you. Kings River Falls awaits, ready to share its secrets with those who listen. Where time slows down and the modern world fades away. Every turn reveals a new wonder; a hidden waterfall an unnoticed cave or bluff or a moss-covered boulder. It’s not just a place; it’s an experience an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and into a world where magic still thrives and fairy tales come alive. Here, the forest whispers secrets, and the river sings a timeless song. Most of our campsites are just yards away from a public swimming area, which is shared between our property and the Arkansas Natural Area. You should expect local traffic at the main swimming area during your stay. We have a private swimming area on our property which is just a short hike from the developed campsites (Please ask the camphost for directions). There are miles of county maintained bumpy dirt roads leading to the site. Expect your vehicle to get dusty. There is a creek crossing that is required to reach the campsites. We recommend high clearance and/or 4WD or AWD vehicles. If you are unable to cross the creek, you will need to park in the parking area and walk across the creek to reach your site.

So much adventure!

Site 4 - Kings River Falls Camping

I love how secluded the spot was and how much of an adventure it was just passing over the creek to get to our spot. The kids had a lot of fun next time we'll rent spot number 5 for an even more personal space. Even though the space we chose which was number four was very secluded and had a great view and we really enjoyed having the creek right by our spot the sound of the rushing water was phenomenal and even though it rained it was a wonderful wonderful trip we will definitely be back!

Everything about this site is peaceful and Serene. We enjoy tent camping and we love being in nature. No matter what site you have you will hear the creek. We really couldn't have been happier we will definitely be returning.

It definitely requires a vehicle with high clearance to get there. But as for the site, simply exquisite!

Site 3 - Kings River Falls Camping

Beautiful site and we had such a great time! Very easy walk to the falls and the two sweet dogs hanging out with us all day was a plus. This site was secluded from the other sites but still easily accessible to the restrooms.

Site 1 - Kings River Falls Camping

Absolutely beautiful views on the hiking trail nearby. The hosts were really nice and the campground dogs are adorable. I would not recommend trying to find this place in the dark, read the directions they give you carefully. Site 1 is right on the swimming hole and you can hear the creek, the water is so clear as well, it’s very pretty and peaceful. The tent rentals were nice and convenient, they set them up for us.
