Gilbert RV Park

With full hookups and year-round availability, Gilbert RV Park provides a straightforward base for exploring the Buffalo River area. The private campground sits within walking distance of the river, where campers can access gravel bars for day-long water activities. Jim and his wife manage the property and maintain separate restroom and shower facilities for men and women.

The campground operates as a quiet spot with basic rules about noise levels and arrival times. A small store on-site stocks camping essentials. Roosters from the property's chickens provide morning wake-up calls. For campers wanting primitive riverside camping, Gilbert Gravel Bar — Buffalo National River offers an alternative just south of the RV park.

Owner treated us like family !!!

When we pulled into the campground we were met with friendly smiles ! Jim and his wife are super nice and very helpful!! We got all setup and enjoyed our time around Gilbert. The quiet little town with some live music occasionally. Probably just a little over a quarter mile walk to the river or drive down to gravel bed where you can park. Take all your stuff and play in the river all day. There is a float service in Gilbert. Restrooms are separate from the showers. Men's and women's. They also have chickens so you might hear that Rooster every morning !! We had a super nice time here !!! Very simple place to stay. Just respect the camp rules and don't get too loud !! Please don't show up super late ! Jim and his wife are elderly !!! ( Just my opinion )

I LOVED THIS PLACE!

When they advertise a stones throw from the Buffalo river, they mean it.

The campground is small and a bit sparse, but the location to the river is unbeatable. The camp owner and store manager “Jim” is a delight…as is “homer” the camp dog. The store contains everything you may need plus some!
