Van Buren River Fun RV & Campsite will be open for the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. This campground is special because it comes with private access to 1 mile of river access made available only to campers on this property and local land owners. It has gravel bars, pristine waters, a boat ramp, and woods around to explore. The RV and camp sites have access to water spigot and sewer dump site, the campsites have fire rings. The river is directly across the road from the campground- steps away from a perfect viewing point for the eclipse. This is the quietest campsite this close to the river, near town. This is a rare luxury to have walking access to the Current River. Discounts for booking multiple sites. Please contact us with any questions - we can offer monthly and seasonal (Memorial Weekend through Labor Day) rates for sites upon request!!

Across From River - Tent Site (A)

Yvonne had set up the perfect campsite for us to watch the eclipse. She and her family welcomed us and we're very accommodating. The campsite was more of a backyard/driveway kind of feel but it was right across the road from the river. They made sure to explain to us where we could access the river. Very small town that was picturesque and the views by the river really were amazing. They supplied running water but no toilets (as listed in the description). They were nice enough to provide a porta potty for the influx of people coming in. Thank you for having us!

Host was responsive and the spot was great for hammocks! A little rocky and sloped for tents, but we made it work. The short walk to the gorgeous river front was just as described! Thanks for having us for the eclipse!

Lovely hosts.

Overall we had a lovely experience. Yvonne and her kids were attentive and polite. They offered us the local newspaper with eclipse events and guides to the local parks. We were expecting a bigger more remote setting. The “campground” was basically Yvonne’s front yard and surrounded by neighboring cabins. Location was close to the river. It did serve its purpose for something as busy as the eclipse event.
