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.

Kings River Falls Glamping A

100% (23)
Bell tent · Sleeps 4
Step off the beaten path and get ready for the experience of a lifetime! Glamping on the headwaters of the Kings River is an exclusive, one of a kind experience where stunning nature meets modern luxury. 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. Our glamping sites feature a large glamping tent that is completely decked out with a queen sized airbed, rug, battery operated fan, lights, games, etc... Optional add-ons, such as an optional bunkbed cot for the kiddos or extra adults. Our glamping sites have a picnic table and fire ring.  This 7 acre property is surrounded by Arkansas Natural Heritage-Natural Area. There are miles of trails and cooling waters at every turn. Lose yourself in this fairy-tale land. With endless places to explore and amazing natural features at every turn this experience will not disappoint. Please be aware that cell phone service is spotty in the area to virtually non-existent at the campground itself. It's a good idea to bring waterproof hiking shoes or water shoes as your camping spot may require walking across a low water creek. Parking at your campsite requires a drive across a low water creek, otherwise you will need to park and walk across. This campground also requires travel down miles of county maintained dirt roads. Expect your car to get dusty. Lastly, bring tick defense for yourself and your pets.
