    Epona Place Ranch accommodates horses and riders near Nashville, Arkansas with designated camping areas for equestrians. The ranch features glamping tent options alongside areas for personal tents and RVs, with ample space for horse trailer parking. While specific horse corrals aren't mentioned in the facilities list, the property maintains extensive areas where horses can be kept during overnight stays. The commons area provides amenities including an air-conditioned bath house with hot water, a mini fridge, and a coffee maker. Trail riders appreciate the farm dogs that accompany guests on property explorations and help keep both visitors and horses safe during their stay. The surrounding terrain offers opportunities for crystal hunting without digging.

    Located approximately 20 miles from Nashville, Arkansas, Beavers Bend State Park provides another option for horse enthusiasts, though with fewer dedicated equestrian accommodations. The Fern Campground area sits adjacent to horse stables, making it suitable for those traveling with horses despite the absence of designated horse corrals in the amenities list. Riders should be aware that the campground's proximity to the stables means encountering horse-related scents and activities. The park features multiple hiking trails that connect to bridle paths throughout the surrounding forest. Group equestrian camping requires advance arrangements, particularly during peak seasons when the park experiences higher visitation. Copperheads have been spotted near campsites, so proper lighting when walking at night is essential for both human and equine safety.

      "Fern is in front of the horse depot and train. In the summer I would imagine this is a high traffic area so Acorn and Cypress may be more desirable."

      DeGray Lake Resort State Park — De Gray State Park

      Very quiet and secluded CG

      We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 12 for 1 night in mid September. The CG is clean and well maintained but showing its age. The CG roads are paved, but narrow, winding, and fairly bumpy in spots. Few if any of the sites in this section of the CG were anywhere close to level and our site, one of the few pull-throughs, was one of the worst, I mean seriously sloped even after ratcheting up the front levelers as far as they’d go. The CG is very quiet and peaceful. There was only one other camper in this section of the CG while we were there. 

      AT&T coverage was basically nonexistent with 1 bar of LTE service but very little if any throughput. The CG is heavily wooded, so Starlink was unusable.

      Very clean and peaceful

      Buckeye campground is a newly renovated loop. The sites on the water are absolutely beautiful! Easy set up. Plenty of room for our 5th wheel and truck. Level concrete site. It rained a lot during our stay but we were not bothered at all since there was no mud around us.

      Close Quarters

      Broken Bow area is nestled in and around the beautiful lake that supports many types of activities. The grounds are wooded, hilly and forestry - the campground areas are set up to maximize the areas available for camping - thus they are all close quarters. Be aware, there are 2 separate camping areas with 2 separate entrances and live help was not available - at least when we were there. The facilities are clean and modern but not centrally located within the camping areas.

      Good value campground

      Fairly cheap for a nicely established campground with really nice bathrooms (with showers)! Water spigot right at our site. Park has 3 different loops and lots of amenities.

      Great State Park

      The River front sites are the best with FHU's. Taking advantage of the river is the most popular thing to do. There is a golf course nearby too. On site museum at the park visitor's center. I enjoyed the Beaver Creek hike. My biggest complaint would be they put the campsites directly on the river, so if you want to walk along the river, you feel like your in someone's site.

      Beautiful Park

      We loved this park. It was beautiful, but the signs were a bit confusing and we came in the dark so we parked where we thought our spot was. Well, it wasn’t our spot and we had to move at 8:30 at night. There’s also no service (at least for T-Mobile). Loved the trails and the restaurant.

      Fall camping

      We camped at Fern Circle. It was a lot people going to the bathrooms. Too touristy they also need to be educated about copperheads in the area . Watched a lot of people walk there in the dark without lights with their kids. Found a copperhead near campsite 12 A lady almost stepped on it and didn’t know what that it was poisonous or a copperhead. Other than that we had fun!

      Beautiful Campground!!!!

      We stayed in the Acorn campground right by the river. Clean and well stocked bathrooms, level campsites, and fantastic views. The trees make you think you’re in Colorado. Only thing you need to know is the flood sirens do go off sometimes and are VERY loud.
