Welcome to River’s Bend Campground No Crowds. No Loud Neighbors. Just Room to Breathe. Quiet RV Camping Beneath Red Rock Cliffs River’s Bend Campground is a small, peaceful RV campground designed for travelers who value space, privacy, and a calm atmosphere. Nestled beneath a red rock cliff and wrapped by the spring-fed Fall River as it curves in a natural horseshoe around the land, River’s Bend offers a rare blend of natural beauty and easy convenience. With just six RV sites—including three oversized 35’ x 100’ pull-through sites, two spacious 25’ x 100’ sites, and one 35’ x 60’ pull-in/back-out site—we intentionally keep things uncrowded and low-key. All sites feature full hookups, making River’s Bend ideal for self-contained RV travelers who appreciate comfort without the bustle of large parks. Located just outside Hot Springs with direct highway access, arrivals and departures are simple and stress-free. Because of this convenient location, some road noise may be present, particularly during the day. Once you’re parked, however, sites are oriented toward the river and walking path, where the surrounding landscape and natural sounds create a relaxed setting that feels far removed from busy travel corridors. If complete silence is a priority, a more remote setting may be a better fit. River’s Bend is best suited for couples and solo travelers seeking a restful stop. This is not a party campground. We prioritize a respectful, low-key environment and observe quiet hours to help ensure a peaceful stay for all guests. The maximum capacity per site is four people. There is no shared shower house; all sites are intended for fully self-contained RVs. We have rural water/potable hookups along with 20-, 30-, and 50-amp electrical hookups. Septic hookups are coming soon. Our rates reflect the small size of the campground, oversized full-hookup sites, and the quiet, uncrowded experience we aim to provide. If you enjoy wide-open sites, calm evenings, and spending time along the river, you’ll feel right at home at River’s Bend Campground.

Site #6: Princess Pines Pull in back out/ 60'L x 35'W
This place was super nice. Plenty of room. The sights are huge and spread out. Really good drinking water. Nice little river to check out and listen to. Easy to find. Easy in easy out. The hosts were very nice and had some good suggestions of things to do/see around the area. I have no complaints. I’d definitely come back.

Site #2: Dragonfly Drift Pull Through - 100'L x 35'W
River’s Bend camp site is a first class experience all the way. There are limited sites to make your experience more relaxing and exclusive. It is the best spot in the area to spend a few nights. Kids have a blast with the river with koi and beavers. The backdrop blocks the rising sun to allow a little more time to enjoy the morning in the shade. Fantastic is all we have to say. The owners are wonderful. They have taken great thought and appreciation to their campsite. You have to spend the night if in the area.

Site #6: Princess Pines Pull in back out/ 60'L x 35'W
Stoked we were the second ever Hipcamper here and really pleased with the site. It’s quaint newly built property with very tasteful amenities; nothing tacky like those RV resorts. The road noise didn’t bother us and the place was immaculate! Very cool to meet the host too. Cheers and good luck folks.
