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.   Lose yourself in a fairy-tale land. With endless places to explore and amazing natural features at every turn this experience will not disappoint.  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).

We camped at Michelle’s campsite for two nights and we had a lovely time exploring the hiking trail and cave on campgrounds as well as taking a dip in the kings river waterfall. Michelle came and greeted us when we arrived and gave us directions (we were a bit lost lol) I think signage would be helpful.

Repeat Customers!
Such a beautiful and pristine location. Lots to explore with little kids. We fit a large bell tent and “off road” camper into site 1 and were very comfortable. Composting toilet was nice and clean. We have camped here before and loved it so came back with friends this time. Now my friends were so impressed, they’ve already booked next year! We’ll see you next year Sam and Michelle!

Getting Away at Dripping Springs!
What a wonderful camping trip that let us cut off from the world for a little bit and slow down together as a family. The campground is surrounded by beautiful trees and good clear paths for you to find your way through. There is a great more private swimming area for either smaller kids to Wade in or for you to take a dip in on a hot day (it was cold at the end of may!- But we did it anyways!) The water is clear and beautiful and the campground itself is clean, and not very far at all from Kings River Trailhead, which is another swimming area (more populated) with a waterfall area. Sam & Michelle provided great directions for everything we needed once we lost internet service (expected). You will enjoy this campground 10/10.

This is a beautiful site and the sound of the creek nearby lulled us to sleep at night. Site 4 has plenty of shade and a great spot for a hammock.

Beautiful area on the creek with hiking trails close by and within walking distance of the King's River Falls natural area! Higher vehicle clearance is recommended for the roads and creek crossing. Michelle's directions and maps to the camping area were great and she was super responsive to any and all questions. Thanks!

Had the best time
We loved camping here. Was an amazing relaxing, secluded and quiet location(site 5). She sent us maps and information that was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again. We hiked and relaxed. Water running right near the tent was so peaceful.

Great experience!
We had such a great time! Falling asleep to the sound of the water flowing was our favorite part! The remote location makes it feel like true camping, and we didn’t get a single bug bite. The hosts texted us maps of the area with lots to do, they were so helpful for our good time! We will definitely be back.

What a stunning location with easy access to the spring fed creeks and swimming holes. Our group of 10 fit easily at the site. The neighboring sites were a good distance away where you couldn’t hear them. And it just felt really safe out there. I can’t wait to come back when it’s a bit warmer and do some swimming! Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful site. Very well kept and peaceful. You will need a truck or a little lift on your van to get across the creek and up onto the embankment to the sites. Highly recommend. Sam and Michelle are wonderful and informative.

Sam and Michelle were awesome! They are very aware that there is no cell service and provided great directions to the campsite from where your Apple/Google maps stop. The sites are spaced out just enough that we could barely hear the camper on either side of us. Located near the calming sounds of the river & incredibly clean/flat areas. The sites are just a short walk to the trailhead of Kings River Falls, and another short (11mi) drive to Whitakers Point! We loved it and will recommend the spot to others.

Campsite #2
Wonderful area, & it was nice. I enjoyed the trail right down the road , only downfall was we ordered a changing tent & it wasn’t on the campsite when we arrived. There were no front desk people to ask, so unfortunately we did lose $10, but we enjoyed our time. Please be cautious of the creek you have to go over. Mostly everyone got stuck when we were there & although everyone was friendly & helped , it is something to be caution over. (there parking before it though)

Great secluded spot! Lots of trails and cool spots to see. Not to mention Thornberry, the unofficial “camp dog” that roams around freely. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

It was a lovely stay! I will say, for future guests, the road to get there is a gravel and the camp requires a more sporty or raised car to enter, and to cross the stream to reach the sites.

Great campsite!
This place was fantastic, and surprisingly a little more remote than I had anticipated (but in a good way). My wife and I took our three sons (16,14,11 yrs old) and we all enjoyed it immensely. Wish it would have been warmer so we could get in the huge swimming hole, but I guess that gives us a reason to go back. Michelle communicated with us, and gave us plenty of helpful directions and maps of the site area so we would know what to explore. The Kings River Falls trailhead is like 3 minutes from the site, so it’s definitely a must-do if you go. All in all, I’d highly recommend and think you will enjoy.
