Valley of peace campground

Valley of Peace is a perfect, private spot to return to after enjoying the beauty of Arkansas that surrounds the Buffalo River. Walter was awesome. Had to battle some muck left over from the epic rains the area received before and during our trip. He dropped a tractor bucket’s worth of sand in a low spot at are site while we were floating one day. Farm fresh eggs delivered during our arrival was pretty sweet too. It’s a lengthy drive to Ponca (45 minutes ish) which is something to consider after a days worth of activities. But it is very private. We had no other campers while we were there. Flowing water is the nature’s greatest white noise machine to fall asleep to. I would recommend this site to those who are wanting to avoid the chaos that public campgrounds can be.

We had the best time when we visited Valley of Peace campsite. Walter was so friendly and helpful. The river view was beautiful! The creek side campsite was very secluded which is was we wanted. So peaceful. Loved having cows on one side and the river on the other.

Beautiful spot right on the river. Not much shade but we didn’t need it. Love the sun and Walter is so thoughtful that he supplied a table with a big sun umbrella. Walter is nearby to help with any needs and was the perfect host. Will definitely go again!

Peaceful Valley

Tent ·

We had the best weekend at Valley of Peace. It was the most peaceful place we have ever been. Walter was a wonderful host. I ordered a bundle of wood and a dozen eggs when I reserved my site. The bundle of wood was waiting at our site. Walter brought the eggs down after we got there. I loved the lack of cell service. That was part of the peace!! The water was so clear, the campground clean, and the outhouses were well outhouses. LOL. Very clean outhouses. Absolutely will be back!

We loved this camping spot! Very secluded and fun spot for the kids splash and swim around, and you can fish too, hang a hammock and relax. Mr. Walter was very nice and brought us wood and some eggs for our weekend getaway. Definitely recommend staying here! 10/10

Absolute GEM!

I can’t brag enough about this spot!!! There are a few miles of gravel road before you reach your destination but they are maintained, we got there alright without 4WD. The site we booked, Creekside Shade, blew us away. It is private, very spacious, it’s right on a GORGEOUS creek, and on the other side is the cow pasture! Plenty of trees and shade, a nice stone fire pit, and large natural slabs of rock by the creek to sun on. The water was so beautiful, blue and clear and cold. The host came to check on us daily to see if there was anything we needed and was so kind. We were visited by an old pup named Annie who kept us company slept by our campfire. I can’t wait to come back and am planning my next trip already. This is the nicest spot we’ve ever stayed and we didn’t want to leave!

Super nice owner! Came to check on us and gave us a few fold out tables to use and showed us where the potable water was. Got rained out for the whole weekend but will definitely go back!

This place is serene and peaceful just as its name Valley of Peace. Beautiful creek and views. Walk along the creek or take a dip in the cool refreshing clear water. Walter is an excellent host, making sure you are felt welcome.

We spent three nights at the site across the creek and it was amazing. The host is kind and very helpful. The creek is beautiful with crystal clear water and lots of good spots for fishing. The stargazing is absolutely incredible. We can’t wait to go back

BEAUTIFUL ARKANSAS CREEK CAMPING

Site 8 - Valley of Peace Campground

FIVE STAR REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stayed 5 nights on Mount Judea with my boys at Valley of Peace campground. The longer we were there, the more friends came to camp and visit. I cannot say enough amazing things about this beautiful place and the owners. All sites are along cave creek on Mount Judea. All sites can accommodate large groups (14 max). My favorite sites are 7, 8 (mine), and 9. These are at the swimming holes (I will be back this summer to swim). There is a small cave to explore on the property. The boys caught plenty of fish. We rafted. It was PERFECT!! At $23 a night, with WIFI (sketchy), potable water, fresh farm eggs can be purchased and delivered to your site, as well as, bundled firewood. We planned on driving to the Buffalo, but loved it so much, we never left. The nature was all around us, with horses and cows and stunning butterflies. If you want to camp Arkansas with your family or friends, Valley of Peace is a true experience.

My group could not believe we found a place like this! It was our first time using HipCamp and Walter was a fantastic host. He was very accommodating with a couple things out of his control (rain,wind,etc...) and gave us some free ice and other stuff! We enjoyed our first night so much we decided to book another. Site 6 was by far our favorite, the babbling brook was so peaceful. Be careful, the nearest (actual) grocery store is about 35 minutes away, and it is a dry county. Do with that what you will... Thank you so much Walter!

I picked site 3, and enjoyed my time immensely. Camped for 2 weeks. I have a bigger canvas bell tent and found enough flat space for it. Sites 1-4 & 7&8 get the earlier morning sun. 5&6 are right along the creek and are shaded a little more in the morning, The water was cool and refreshing and the mountains surrounding were nice to climb in. It’s a very beautiful area.

The property is beautiful and off the beaten path. Very quiet and the sounds of the creek rapids were overly relaxing! Walter is a fantastic host and the farm fresh eggs were delicious. 100% chance that we’ll come back again soon.

Fourth time staying at Valley of Peace, and I reckon that alone is review enough, and a fifth trip back is right around the corner. Thanks again, Walter!

It's a beautiful location. We went in November after major rains, and the owner went and got sand to put down at our site even though I only reserved it the evening before our arrival. Much appreciated!

We had a great stay. The trees were beautiful, the creek was fun to explore, the farm animals were fun to watch. Our site was very spacious - plenty of room for our tent, vehicle, campfire, tables/chairs. Have already recommended to friends.

Beautiful creek-side camping!

8 ft travel trailer · With pets ·

I keep coming back to this campground because of its natural beauty! Walter's campground is along a beautiful creek where you can see kingfishers, kestrels, herons, and the occasional river otter. If you are into more domestic animals, he keeps a small herd of cows at the adjacent farm. The campsites are easy to get to and work for my small teardrop camper, allowing me to camp right on the creek-side. The outhouses are clean, and Walter offers a variety of services such as firewood, eggs, and ice you can purchase while there (and which he will deliver to your campsite). It's a dog-friendly location as well. Can't recommend this enough!
