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.

One of the best in the state
Have stayed here a number of times over the years and have enjoyed it every time. The setting is idyllic and can’t be beat. The only complaint would be the state of the ports-pottys. They are pretty dire, and I spend a lot of time on construction job sites, so I’ve seen the gamut. I will continue to camp here but will go back to my old toilet setup next time. Do not let this prevent you from staying here because it is one of the best spots around. Just plan accordingly.

Camping with friends
The campsite and the location were splendid, we got a perfect camping experience. The weather was a little bad and we reached very late in the night, but the experience we had was totally worth it! Would also recommend hiking the trials close to the campground :)

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
I LOVED this campsite. It was so beautiful, clean, and quiet. I was absolutely floored by how gorgeous the water was. It was not too hard to find, we took a wrong turn at one point but we were eventually able to figure it out.
