Kings River Falls Campground, near Venus, Arkansas, is a fantastic place to unplug and immerse yourself in nature. With just five designated sites, it offers a cozy atmosphere where you can truly escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

This campground is a short walk from the Kings River Falls Trailhead, making it an ideal base for hiking and exploring the stunning natural beauty of the area. Visitors rave about the spaciousness of the sites, with one camper noting, “We had campsite #5 and loved how much room we had!” The surrounding landscape features rugged bluffs, caves, and swimming holes, perfect for a refreshing dip on a warm day.

While the campground doesn’t provide drinking water or electric hookups, it does allow campfires, so you can enjoy evenings around the fire under a starry sky. Just remember to bring your own firewood! Some campers have mentioned the lack of water in the river during certain seasons, but many plan to return when the river is flowing strong.

If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with plenty of outdoor activities, Kings River Falls Campground is a great choice. Just be sure to book your stay through their website for detailed directions to this beautiful spot.

Less than a minute from the Kings River Falls trailhead 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. Clovis like points have been found here, and so one might assume the bluffs and crags here have been inhabited for millennia.

We have picnic tables and fire rings at each site. If you have a large group, please contact us before booking to ensure that we are able to accommodate your group. This 7-acre property is completely surrounded by Arkansas Natural Heritage-Natural Area. There are miles of trails and cooling waters at every turn.

Most of our campsites are just yards away from a public swimming area, which is shared between our property and the Arkansas Natural Area. You should expect local traffic at the main swimming area during your stay. We have a private swimming area on our property which is just a short hike from the developed campsites (Please ask the camphost for directions).

Please be aware that cell phone service is spotty to virtually non-existent. Also, it's a good idea to bring waterproof hiking shoes or water shoes since our camping spots may require walking across a low water creek. This campground also requires travel down miles of county-maintained dirt roads. Expect your car to get dusty. We are unable to accommodate travel trailers and RVs at this time. Parking at your campsite requires a drive across a low water creek, otherwise you will need to park and walk across. Lastly, bring tick defense for yourself and your pets.

Absolutely stunning

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.

Amazing campground! You have to book through their website!

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! 

Beautiful

An excellent place to put your phone away and get back to nature!
