Weekend Trip to Pea Ridge Bike Camp

Very nice and welcoming! Close to both Roger’s and Bentonville. Our first night with them was the only night we planned on a fire r/t weather. When we got back from Roger’s that evening Damon had our fire pit set up for us to light it right up. He also brought over a picnic table for us to use. Free firewood too!

Weekend Trip to Camp Bentonville

What a great little spot! Nestled in a nice valley with tall trees and a nice daytime view. Our host, Bryan, was awesome and helpful. Honestly we could have just stayed extra nights and hung out with him. Great little diamond in the rough.

Very quiet place to camp, host was extremely nice & even brought us more firewood when we were running low. We spend 5 days here over Thanksgiving! The kids really enjoyed the Wal-Mart Zipline orders via drone & the school bus!

1 night at Pea Ridge Bike Camp

This was our second time, and it was fantastic as always. We didn't use the utilities because we pulled in late and left early, but the man taking care of the place came out and helped us start a fire during the night (it was very much appreciated, we were struggling) and he started a fire for us in the morning too! Just above and beyond service, and honestly just a super nice and generous guy. 10/10

Campsite 2 has a little less grass, but more privacy

Bentonville Bike Camp – Jason & Julie are lifesavers! Our reservation with Koler got completely mixed up, and Jason and Julie at Bike Camp Bentonville truly saved the day. Their property is absolutely perfect—peaceful, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed. The facilities were spotless (the shower and bathroom were such a bonus!), and hookups were incredibly easy. We genuinely enjoyed our stay and can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you, Jason and Julie, for turning our trip around!

Awesome place to camp while in the Bentonville area! Damon's southern hospitality makes you feel right at home. The campground is equipped with hot showers, personal and community fire pits (firewood also included!) and a cool old school bus containing loads of information and maps of the area. Good location if you are looking to check out the vast trail systems in and around Bentonville and Bella Vista .

Stayed a few nights in the little A-frame hut.. and it was perfect!! Great for last minute trips when you don’t have time to pack and set up an entire campsite. Plus the heater kept me warm on chilly nights. The lighting and decor inside was a rly nice touch. Cozy blankets were a big plus too! Can’t wait to return.

Weekend Trip to Bigfoot County Campgrounds

Found some trees perfect for a hammock, hiked down the rock trail, made a campfire cake, had camp coffee and enjoyed the scenery. It was my kind of party. Camper was in good shape, smelled and looked clean. Having a flushable toilet, a queen size bed to sleep in, and the option to use the stove were all very convenient (especially with a 4 year old). Great place for the price, I enjoyed the atmosphere and it was peaceful and fun. Host was responsive.

Great space, good communication, clean bathrooms and showers. There was firewood available, fresh water for drinking. The camp was close to town, stores and most importantly, good riding. Please remember that the facilities are shared and be respectful of them, try to keep them clean for other campers! This is a reflection of the campers not our great hosts!

Site #1 complete with bathroom tent, picnic table, and 5 gallon water jug.

The best camping in Huckleberry Ridge Conservation Area, MO guide

Overview

About

Located just north of Missouri’s border with Northwest Arkansas, Huckleberry Ridge Conservation Area, formerly known as Huckleberry Ridge State Forest, is a 2,106-acre plot of public land. Visitors will find 17 miles of trails meandering through the heavy forests. Hiking, biking, and horseback riding are allowed. Visitors can venture south to find Northwest Arkansas’s cultural and recreational mecca, spreading across the towns of Bentonville, Rogers, and Fayetteville. The region is a hotspot for mountain biking enthusiasts, thanks to the many designated trails.

Notable campgrounds

Best for solitude: Huckleberry Ridge Conservation Area offers seven primitive camping sites in an open meadow.
Best for anglers: Missouri’s nearby Roaring River State Park Campground attracts tent campers and RVers for trout fishing in a scenic Ozarks river.
Best for lake lovers: Arkansas’s Prairie Creek Campground, operated by the Army Corps of Engineers, is on the shores of Beaver Lake, which is renowned for its clear waters.

When to go

Summer in the Ozarks is generally hot and humid. Campers need to be able to handle the heat. Temperatures begin to significantly fall off in late September as fall overtakes the region, giving the woodlands a paint job. Winter brings freezing temperatures and occasional frozen precipitation. As spring emerges in March and April, temperatures warm, wildflowers bloom, and the leaves fill in on the trees.

Know before you go

When temperatures are warm, mosquitoes, ticks, and chiggers flourish in this natural landscape.
ATV use is not allowed.
The nearby Elk River is a hotspot for kayaking and canoeing.
