Remote Location

The road into the site was in good shape but would be difficult under wet conditions. The location is in a heavily wooded area that is very deserted. We got in at dark and weren’t able to explore during the daylight so we didn’t feel comfortable tent camping. Good spot, just very isolated.

Perfect night out from Bentonville Arkansas

We were in Bentonville, Arkansas and decided to take a gamble on this and it was about 40 minute drive when we got there. There was plenty of space for the dog to roam without getting into high grass where ticks would be festering and it was a sweet little private getaway for a night before driving on. We highly recommend. Starlink didn't work but Verizon did for phone calls only.

Fairly clean

Less trash than most free camps. Multiple spots with plenty of room and not many bugs. Cell signal was strong in many places. Bike trails are worth using.

Bring it in take it out, it's that easy.
