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.

Secluded

Really out in the woods. Didn’t see another soul for 3 days. Looks like some vandalism w picnic tables. Super drought so very little water. Very private nice sites. Road was very bumpy no water in creek to ford. You’re quite a ways from any grocery or ice. So prepare.

Site 1 - Kings River Falls Camping

The scenery was lovely. Camp sites were well taken care of. We did have some local country boys come shoot their guns midday Saturday. Is this a public space? Can hunters come in when they feel like to shoot? Within 30 feet of campsites? Sounds misleading to offer these fantastic sites when there seems to be more need for regulations and mutual understanding around where someone can come shoot.

Site 1 - Kings River Falls Camping

Ehh… there are better spots.

We really enjoyed the spot, but there are a couple things that will likely prevent us from returning. 1: No cell service is true, which can be scary when you can’t call for help if needed. 2: The low level creek crossing was actually quite treacherous, and we had to attempt 4 times to get over it with our Ford van. That crossing is rough, as is the 5 miles of awful gravel roads to reach the campsite. Some of the road was so narrow that our van scratched on brush, so keep in mind if you have a large vehicle and nice paint. Once we were there, we enjoyed the spot.
