Caddo Gap, AR · 1 site · Tent, RV
80+ acres all to yourself!! This beautiful and very secluded property, with river, kayaks, trails, and creeks is offered to only one group at a time to ensure peace, quiet, and seclusion. No other guests will overlap your stay. You will enjoy the peaceful solitude in nature completely alone! Sorry, children are not allowed.
It's a great location for romantic getaways, silent personal retreats, yoga, playing in the river, or just spending quiet one-on-one time with your spouse or significant other. The last 1/2 mile of dirt road is a little rough, so cars with very low ground clearance are not recommended.
Campers on Thunder Mountain enjoy the entire property by themselves - including the unique outdoor bathhouse with outdoor tub and shower, impressive multi-level decks, kayaks, grill, trails, hammocks, and tubes - without the cost of the cabin. The cabin on the property will be vacant during camping stays, but you can still enjoy the WiFi and other amenities outside. Set up camp by the cabin and bathhouse or hike your equipment down the stairs to the river.
Pricing: $30-90/night camping; $190-280/night cabin - listed separately. Last minute bookings may have discounted rates. Camping bookings for 1 or 2 nights are sometimes available even if the calendar does not show availability (due to cabin cleaning days). So feel free to ask about dates you want and we'll try to move our cleaning days around to help you out.

Camp beside a private spring‑fed pond on a historic 1800s sawmill homestead overlooking the lowlands of the Little Missouri River. This land was chosen for its natural springs — still flowing today — that once powered the mill, filled the concrete water troughs, and fed the ponds below. Stay where Arkansas was being built, surrounded by quiet pasture, friendly goats, and the timeless beauty of a working hilltop homestead.
Ranch & Retreat sits on a rare piece of Arkansas history. In the late 1800s, when this region was first being settled, the property was chosen as the site of a working sawmill. The hilltop offered a natural overlook of the lowlands near the Little Missouri River, where timber was harvested and milled for the surrounding towns.
The land was selected for one reason above all: water.
Natural springs flow from the hillside, feeding the mill, the homestead, and the ponds below. The original concrete water troughs still fill and overflow today — a living reminder of how early Arkansans used the land to survive and build.
Before I‑30 cut through the area, the gravel road leading to the property was once Highway 67, the main route through this part of the state. Travelers, timber workers, and early settlers passed right by this homestead as Arkansas grew around it.
If you’re looking for a quiet, private place to unwind under big Arkansas skies, this is it. Ranch & Retreat sits on a historic late‑1800s homestead surrounded by pasture, woods, and friendly goats. Guests come here for peace, stars, and the feeling of being tucked away on real rural land — not a crowded campground.
You’ll have plenty of space to spread out, enjoy the breeze, walk the land, and relax beside your own spring‑fed pond. This is a simple, authentic, no‑frills country stay with a lot of heart and history.
When you camp here, you’re not just pitching a tent — you’re stepping into a piece of the state’s early story.

Welcome to our tiny cabin-style home privately situated on one acre off a gravel county road, surrounded by woods on three sides, giving you a sense of seclusion while still providing you easy access to nearby amenities.
There are no other homes on this one acre property; this will be your private retreat during your stay.

In keeping with the spirit of allowing you to fully unplug, the home does not provide Wi-Fi. Instead, guests are invited to browse a curated DVD library—a nostalgic, intentional entertainment feature that encourages shared experiences and relaxation for families and couples alike.
Actual conversation around the firepit, a DVD player for rainy days, and discovering rocks and crystals in the yard after it rains. Cell service still works, so you're reachable if it matters — you just won't be tempted to scroll instead of being here. (data sometimes works but it’s not 100% reliable)
The kitchen is designed for full meal preparation, featuring an array of appliances and utensils; you have all the basics needed for making homecooked meals in your private retreat.
Note that the kitchen has a dorm sized fridge and an additional dorm sized deep freezer.

Joanna was a wonderful host. She was polite, welcoming, and very accommodating with our reserved campsite and arrival time. She took the time to ask about us and our trip, and she provided all the information we needed after meeting us at the guest facility. We also had the pleasure of meeting her husband and son, they are a very lovely family and made us feel even more welcome.
The location was quiet, peaceful, and exactly what we were looking for. Although there were two other campers nearby, the sites were spaced far enough apart that we still felt like we had plenty of privacy. The amenities provided were great, and we made use of them during our stay. We also saw fireflies, butterflies, and many other animals, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
We truly enjoyed our stay and only wished it had been longer than one night. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this cute little cabin in the woods near Glenwood and used it as a perfect base camp for exploring the area. The cabin is small, yet the floor plan is thoughtfully laid out so the space feels maximized. In addition to the two queen beds, we used the two sleeping mats for extra sleeping space and found them quite comfortable. Having a small fridge and freezer plus a washer was a big help, and since it was summer I hung our laundry on the provided clothesline to dry (a dryer is available too).
The location is quiet—there are neighbors on the road, but the summer foliage completely hid them from view and we never heard a sound.
One of my sons especially loved hunting for quartz and gemstones in the yard and put together a sparkling little collection.
We explored the Saturday Farmers Market, the Mercantile downtown with its local goods, and spent time swimming and fishing on the nearby Caddo River.
We’d recommend this place if you want a rustic camping vibe but still appreciate a locking door, real beds, a shower, and a spot to store and cook your food.
Great little getaway!

Weekend Trip to Ouachita Campground at Edendell
Thanks Edendell for the relaxing stay. Host was communicative and gave us clear directions for how to find the glamping spot. Spot was cozy and guest facilities provided at the shared facility space were sufficient. All the plants were a bonus enjoyment factor. Great views.

Thunder Mountain is hands down the best place we have ever camped. Every detail of this property was impeccably thought out and it was truly a trip we will never forget. Though we experienced some rain during our stay, we were able to stay comfortable the entire time. We loved catching fish, swimming in the cool river, using the outdoor bathhouse, and grilling/watching the sunset with a glass of wine. It is clear that this property is well loved by the host. Todd was incredibly accommodating and his communication throughout the trip was top notch. We will definitely return to Thunder Mountain!

My group and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ouachita Campgrounds. We had a relatively private campsite, that included a table & chairs, swings to lounge in and a fire pit (with wood provided). Although the site was at a bit of a slant, we made it work.
We arrived on July 4th and had the opportunity to get to know the property owners, engage with other campers, and watch the fireworks show that the hosts provided. The hosts were personable, attentive, and engaging.
The whole property gives the feel of camping on a botanical garden, with well maintained campsites, phenomenal landscaping, gorgeous ponds to relax by.
We took the opportunity to use the laundry room, as we are camping cross-country, as well as the showers. It was so lovely to have access to facilities.
Hoping we get the opportunity to camp here again soon!
