Directions

You can map to the Kings River Falls trail head on google maps. From there its east maybe 100 yards further down 3500. You will cross a low water bridge over the Kings River (Its not marked but that's what it is.), and see an old school house on your right. There is a dirt road next to the school house, take that road and you will see a small parking area to your left, if you continue past the parking area the road curves around and stay to your left and it dead ends at the campground. You can park in the parking area or you can drive across the creek and park at your campsite. Our property is marked with a Dripping Springs sign and also Private Property Guests Only and a couple of other signs. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring.

Beautiful

We had campsite #5 and loved how much room we had! You are close enough to see your neighbor campers but we couldn’t hear them at all. We had 2 dogs that loved the space too. Not much water right now on the river but will be back in the spring!

Amazing campground! You have to book through their website!

I saw the reviewer that claims that they could not find the campground. You have to book your stay at this private campground through their website. They will then give you very detailed directions to their private property. It is one of the most beautiful spots in Arkansas. Highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning

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, as well.
