Tyler Bend Campground — Buffalo National River

Great little campground. Please read description before coming or don't whine when you get here. No electricity, hot showers and water available close. Quiet and close to the river.

Pretty basic campground, kind of just a bunch of spots in a field. About half are first come first serve, was there during the week and it was pretty empty. Not great for big rigs, a lot of the sites are too small.

The river is gorgeous, I was sad it was too cold to swim! Only one bathhouse in the car camping area so it’s gets pretty busy. Excellent cell service.

We had a nice time but weren’t particularly wowed, our only issues were lack of hookups, bad weather, and some people who decided to crowd us and run a loud generator despite the campground being mostly empty.

Beautiful park, very well maintained. Great for swimming in the cold Buffalo River. Lots of wildlife including elk. Great bathrooms but no hook-ups for our rv and most sites are first come, first serve.

The close proximity to US 65 Highway detracts from what is otherwise a beautiful campground. Truckers seem to favor Jake brakes when descending into the river Valley…especially at 4:00 am. Campsites have pullouts and tent pads. Bathroom and showers need some upgrading of walls and fixtures but worked well. Water but no hookups.

The pictures of the river are from a different buffalo river access point Easy access to bathroom, drinking water and river from this spot.

Great place to swim we go a couple times a year nice quiet and well kept love the picnic area right above the river try it you won't be disappointed
