Weekend Trip to Tin Top Village

I this is the second time I have stayed at tiptop. It is wonderful. It feels like you’re in the country. It is clean and stocked so well. At night time when you walk outside, you might see a ton of beautiful fireflies. I recommend this whole hardly

4 nights at Carver Ridge Camp Buffalo River

This was the second time staying at site 8 and we absolutely love everything this RV and Tent Campground has to offer. We have been able to float both the Upper Buffalo and now Middle Buffalo with a 30 min or less drive to so many outfitters! You have cell reception at site and most of the drive to nearby amenities. There’s an abundance of things to do from multiple swimming holes right around the corner for the non boaters to trails and other nature sight seeing within such a short drive. It’s honestly just a great home base for those who love to adventure in the area! Carl the groundskeeper is always welcoming, helps you feel safe and keeps the multiple bathrooms clean and stocked with good the good TP (no single ply here!). I am excited to see the upcoming additions to the property like the washers and dryers! We hope to return in the fall and look forward to seeing what the mountains and trees look like changing then! Thanks again Casey for such an amazing place to call home away from home!

1 night at Sunset Mountain

James and Amy are great hosts! We stayed on a Sunday night and we were the only ones there, except for James and Amy. They hung out with us around the fire pit and made sure everything was perfect for us! Everything was very clean and accommodating! James was cleaning the pool when we arrived, and made sure the hot tub was clean for us. We had a great time and will definitely be back multiple times! It was our first visit and we plan on buying a season pass! HIGHLY recommend!

3 nights at Carver Ridge Camp Buffalo River

Excellent campsite! Full hookups, flush toilets and showers. All new and cleans! Very close to Carver/Buffalo river access. Casey was very helpful in answering all of my questions prior to our stay and allowed us to move campsites once we arrived to allow for some space between us and the other campers.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Mountain

Pleasant experience. All the campers are so friendly and welcoming

Weekend Trip to Tin Top Village

We just can't get away!! It's absolutely great and peaceful..

1 night at Tin Top Village

Me and my husband absolutely loved Vicky's Airbnb we felt right at home from the moment we talked to her on the phone. The dogs absolutely loved it it was a nice getaway

3 nights at Valley of peace campground

This campsite was a hidden gem. My boyfriend and I had the whole site to ourselves. It was an experience I’ll never forget. We found tons of Native American artifacts laying around and so many beautiful swimming spots in crystal clear water. You can see small mouth bass in the water. Walter, the host, was very kind, helpful and checked in with us periodically to make sure we were doing good. He sells eggs, firewood and has potable water and ice on property. There was no service out there but this was not a problem for me. Wi-Fi is available at some sites. Saw a few friendly doggie running around, one old lady dog stayed watch each night at our camp. We will definitely be back. Such an amazing place!

Weekend Trip to Valley of peace campground

This was a great place to camp, especially in the summer with the cool spring fed creek to swim and play in. The camp sites are clean and the site we stayed at (site 6) was right on the creek which is exactly what we were looking for. The kiddos and doggos loved playing and cooling off in the creek. We were the only campers at the time, so we let our dogs run off leash and they loved the freedom. Mr. Walter’s cattle dogs visited the camp site and were friendly. Mr. Walter stopped by to say hello and drop off an umbrella for the table at the site. He has items available for purchase that campers often forget and run out of (wood, ice, eggs, trash service, etc) so that’s nice! We will definitely go back and recommend to friends!

Weekend Trip to Red Fern

Beautiful park we had a great time! We enjoyed the swimming hole access right from our site. The sight is off the beaten path but worth the drive in! I plan to make a trip back in the future.

Weekend Trip to Red Fern

This site was so peaceful, nice cool breezes. Creeks and swimming holes surrounding the site. I had a wonderful time hiking down the creeks to each spot for a float. Watching the minnows, tadpoles and crawfish. The cave behind the main swimming hole is much larger and higher up than I thought. A must see. I took so many pictures, everything was so gorgeous. The drive over the creek was something. It was less about the creek and more about the hill on either side of it. Use caution and bring a wagon to carry your things. You'll also be driving a dirt road through the trees for quite a while to get there. The marker across from the schoolhouse does not stand out, follow the owner's directions carefully.

Beautiful campsite! Loved the creek and swimming areas nearby! It's definitely a trek to get out there but so worth it. I didn't have any cell or internet service, which is to be expected sometimes when camping. And I might not have the best service, but just a heads up 🙂 I would love to book this place again! Campsites looked well maintained and it was easy to find, just make sure you follow the hosts written instructions included on your reservation (and maybe take snips of them before you leave in case you can't connect to the app when you get there)

3 nights at Open-air Meditation Sanctuary

This camp is located a few miles from Eureka Springs but feels very remote and private. The grounds were extremely lush (late June with a wet spring season) and absolutely beautiful, serene, and peaceful. It is a natural setting however the grounds are well kept, including the OMS trail! What a treasure! Highly recommend experiencing this phenomenal trail with the meditation stations each situated so well within the natural setting and with a laminated sheet giving some guidance and inspiration on a contemplative path to expanded consciousness with a strong reverence for Mother Gaia! I am just obsessed with my experience on the trail on alone! I camped in my tent 3 nights and this is one of my favorite hip camps! Clear communication with the host. Was as advertised! And way better! Super kind and laid back hosts, willing to assist with whatever! Campsite was private but short walk to well water spigot, short walk to delightful composting out house, and a short walk to the communal hot tub which is top notch-comfortable with excellent jets, hot water, no chemicals and clean! Privacy is respected! Nice outdoor shower with hot tub. Night sky is amazing! The views are beautiful! On the trail the land feels deeply sacred! It was super convenient that you can drive to your campsite! Pet friendly and my dog was living his best life there! I will definitely return and I highly recommend!

Shaded campsites, Tables at each site and rock firepits. The swimming hole was gorgeous and just what you need on a hot day!

3 nights at Valley of peace campground

The property was clean, beautiful, and as relaxing as I had hoped. The host Walter was awesome. Will definitely return!!

2 nights at Tall Pines Campground

Great campsite. Close to Branson. Really close to the rollercoasters. If you stay there, SLOW DOWN. The campsite drops into a hill and there are children that play out in the grounds.

2 nights at Bentonville Bike Camp

Great place to stay! Friendly hosts, nice bathrooms & showers. Site 9 does require an extension cord (~50 ft.) to plug into power. Overall, great & affordable place.

1 night at Valley of peace campground

Beautiful place to camp and you have perfectly cold mountain river water to actually get some real swimming in. Definitely will return.

Weekend Trip to Creek & Bluff Camping

Listen, this is a hidden gem! Not only is it beautiful and shady where you need it… not only did the hosts come out and mow a fresh path down to the creek… not only have they invested sweat equity in their portion of the creek… It’s simply breathtaking. Bluffs of more than 50 degree incline hang above your very own private and secluded piece of what everyone is searching for here: cold running water to frolic in. Our Cleopatra fell in love. It was her first time with anything bigger than a mud puddle, and she had an absolute blast! If you’re looking for hip camp near Pineville, you won’t find any better than this.

Red Fern

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents7 acres · Witter, AR

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.

Hike trails that meander to the seasonal creeks and waterfalls, past ancient walnut and hickory trees, to rest on large rock formations thick with moss, or take the high trails to the top of our bluff where views and natural oddities reward you at every bend, or just lay in the hammocks by the frog pond with a good book. Wildlife abounds on this property, including fox, black bear, deer, chipmunks, groundhogs, bobcat, and tons more. We offer fantastic add-ons like creation stations where tables of art supplies can be laid out for either self-initiated projects or sample projects with instruction by hostess, Mizzy (a working artist with pieces in every continent, save Antarctica). Forage hikes, where you learn about the immense variety of edible plants, guided photo op hikes, cut and make your own walking stick ( and make it your own by wood burning, adding leather and feathers), are just a few of the options we have daily to add to your stay.
