Arkansas State Parks operates this year-round campground with 39 sites accommodating RVs up to 28 feet and walk-in tent camping areas. The facility provides full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections alongside heated shower houses and restroom facilities.
The campground divides into two distinct areas: an RV loop with full amenities and walk-in tent sites that require a short uphill hike from parking. Each tent site includes a concrete pad capable of fitting an 8-person tent, picnic table, and fire ring. Campers note the tent sites offer more privacy than the RV loop, which sits closer to road noise and neighboring sites across a central median area.
War Eagle Creek flows through the property, providing seasonal floating opportunities through local outfitters. The park features three hiking trails, including the War Eagle Trail accessible from both the campground and a separate trailhead near the park entrance. Chad K. notes the facilities are "updated and clean and located a short walk from the walk in sites." The visitor center sells ice, firewood, and basic supplies, though campers must drive there from the camping areas.
Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekends when the campground fills quickly. The pool remains permanently closed according to multiple recent reviews. RV sites cost around $30 per night while tent sites run approximately $12. Road access involves some gravel county roads, and several reviewers mention algae-covered stagnant water alongside entrance roads during certain seasons.

Description
Nestled cozily in Arkansas’ slice of the Ozark Mountains, Withrow Springs State Park is named after Richard Withrow who established the area’s first grist mill. The reason people flock to visit this park each year, however, is to hike the many trails that lead you to local natural attractions, such as the enormous limestone bluffs that surround the area, mystical bat caves, and the freshwater springs of course!
What makes Withrow Springs State Park a consistently popular destination? The variety of recreational activities that can be found within. Visitors can choose from options such as diving into the seasonal swimming pool, shopping in one of the multiple pavilions, the enticing snack bars, tennis, and basketball courts. Fishing and boating are among the most common activities, and if you and a group want to try floating down the water, the park even offers a shuttle and canoe renting service for you!
Camping at this park is relaxing and pleasant, as most of the campsites are located in more wooded, shaded areas. Primitive sites are first come, first serve, but the park does offer campsites you can reserve, which come fully equipped with hookups and a modern bathhouse.
The trails in this park are a notoriously great experience, and among those is the popular War Eagle Trail. Along this trail visitors will come across one of the only caves in Arkansas open for public viewing. However, this popular cave is temporarily closed. Reach out to park officials for more details.
