Best RV Parks & Resorts near Caddo Gap, AR

817 Reviews

Several RV parks near Caddo Gap accommodate motorhomes and travel trailers with varying hookup options. Caddo River Access RV Park provides drive-in sites with electric and water hookups in Glenwood, approximately 20 miles from Caddo Gap. South Fork RV and Camping offers full-service sites with 50-amp electric, water, sewer connections, and a sanitary dump station, particularly suitable for larger rigs. Murfeesboro RV Park, located about 25 miles southwest of Caddo Gap, features big-rig friendly spaces with 50-amp service, sewer, and water hookups, though fires are not permitted at this location. The RV sites throughout the region typically include picnic tables and trash service, with most parks offering reservable spaces. "Campsites are small and close together but very well kept. Grills, fire rings, and picnic tables available."

Seasonal considerations affect availability at several parks in the Caddo Gap vicinity. While Murfeesboro RV Park and Arkadelphia Campground & RV Park operate year-round, other facilities have limited seasonal operations. Most parks welcome pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Cell service varies considerably throughout the mountainous terrain. Many travelers note the proximity of these RV parks to water recreation opportunities, particularly along the Caddo River. Bathroom and shower facilities at the parks receive mixed reviews, with one camper describing a particular bath house as "little shop of horrors." For those requiring additional amenities, some parks like Crystal Ridge RV Park and Arkadelphia Campground offer on-site markets for basic supplies, while Leisure Landing RV Park provides both 30-amp and 50-amp hookups to accommodate various RV electrical systems.

    Catherine's Landing

    Very Nice, Lots of Amenities

    Catherine’s Landing is a great RV park with lots of amenities and things happening. This park is an RVC Outdoor Destination property which is known for their “resort” amenities. The park is set on 400 acres with one mile bordering Lake Catherine and about eight or nine miles from downtown Hot Springs. 

    All roads, sites and patios are paved and this is definitely a big rig-friendly park. Every site has water, 50/30 amp, sewer, cable, and wifi. Fire pits and picnic tables accompany all sites. There are a variety of sites ranging from waterfront back-in, pull-thrus, or interior back-in. Waterfront sites have a nice view of the lake from the back of the site and access for fishing. The park also has yurts and cottages (some of which are pet-friendly). Adjacent to the yurts is a nice, large covered picnic area with grills, a dish washing station. 

    Lots and lots of amenities here. Hiking trails, swimming pool, fitness center, lounge, playground, dog park, zip-line, boat rental, boat launch, store, and disc golf. Some amenities (boat rentals and zip-line) are an extra charge. 

    Hot Springs is a nice little town nestled in the Ouachita Mountains with interesting history and natural beauty. We found plenty to do from hiking the National Park to learning about the bathhouse history to discovering the gangster influence. We spent four nights and could have stayed longer with all that the town offers. Most people come here to bathe in the soothing warm mineral waters but there is also a horse racetrack, science museum, off road track, water/theme park, alligator farm, and a few museums. Hot Springs National Park has miles and miles of great hiking trails and a great place to spend an afternoon. The town of Hot Springs is very dog-friendly and we found many places that would allow them in and on the patio for lunch.

    Pros:

    • Very nice, clean, well-manicured
    • Lots of amenities
    •  Paved level sites with paved patios 
    • The dog park was a decent size for running and mingling with other dogs
    • The hiking trail(about 3 miles) was a big plus and got used a lot. 

    Cons:

    • Price. We booked late and didn’t have too many sites to choose from we had to pay for a waterfront site

    Leisure Landing RV Park

    Don't Bother

    Gravel parking lot with painted stripes, a patch of grass growing under the picnic table, and full hookups. Be sure to back in centered, others are complaining about hitting their slide outs. Watch your step. One of the long-term residents isn't picking up their dog waste. The nicest spot in the whole place is the little fenced-in dog spot overlooking the canal that makes its way out to the lake you can't see from here.

    Cossatot River RV Park

    Quiet, cozy, small rv park

    We liked our week long visit here.. It was off the beaten path. Very quiet and peaceful. It seemed most people were gone during the day, maybe working. We explored the state park down the road and went on some fun drives. Easy pull through sites with full hook up. Dog friendly (I think) but there weren't any dogs running loose. There are also a couple cabins in the back it looked like.

    **This rv park is not in walking distance to the Cossatot River

    Gulpha Gorge Campground — Hot Springs National Park

    Beautiful, clean, great location

    Beautiful, clean, great location. Camped here in Feb 2020, right on the river. Full hookups, mostly back-in but some pull throughs. Paved, level. Tent sites, too. Clean bathrooms, little camp store. Close to town. Would camp again.

    Hot Springs National Park KOA

    Clean with a dog park

    D26 Back-in full hook-ups, fire ring & picnic table. 2 nights - Memorial Day weekend. Good spot, close to bath rooms/shower house/cafe. Pretty level - just 1 leveling block was all we needed for our pop-up. Lots of amenities- cafe, fishing pond, small general store, playground and off leash dog area. Staff was very friendly. Escorted you to your spot and helped us back in. Shower house was always clean. Loved the dog park! We are just starting to travel with our 2 boxers and was so nice to have an area for them to run a bit. Cons - spots are very close, no privacy. Each spot has a very bright “porch” light that is on until Midnight

    Hot Springs National Park KOA

    Pleasant

    Stayed 2 nights in a basic one room cabin. Had a double bed and bunk bed. Heat /air and cable tv. They advertise WiFi but we didn’t get good reception even though our cabin was very near the office/pool/bathroom. Clean and well kept. Porch swing, fire ring and water at the site. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Pool is small. Dog play area and kids playground. Good location for exploring hot springs area.

    Cowhide Cove Campground

    Really nice small campground at OLD Cowhide Cove

    This is to update my previous post. We are now in the Old Cowhide Cove Campground. We have a beautiful spot backed up to the lake with a wonderful view. There are two widely separated camping areas: New Cowhide Cove and Old Cowhide Cove. We ae in OLD Cowhide Cove so this review is specific to that area. Very adequate campsites are well spaced with picnic table, fire ring., 50 amp electric and water. There is a well situated dump station right on the way out. Even though the sites are long enough for most rigs, there is a paved parking area between most sites. Old Cowhide Cove Campground is a small area with only a few sites--a plus for me.

    I highly recommend this campground. The unreasonably late check-in time is a responsibility of the COE. There was no one to check us in which was no problem for us as we had advanced reservations and an assigned site which was easy to find and presented no difficulty in backing in.

    Cloud Nine RV Park

    Great WiFi, Rec room, and comfort station

    This is a nice place with a combination of pull through and back-in spots. Our site (and I’m assuming others) is level with well-packed aggregate. The sites are fairly spacious for this type of layout.

    The park is located 10-12 miles outside of Hot Springs. Even though it’s along a highway, it’s quite a ways up a hill and through the woods. We had no issues with road noise at night.

    If you want a built-in grill or fire pit, then you’re not going to be happy because they don’t have them. I saw a lot of folks had their own small grills. I also saw a full-size black stone griddle at the rec room, but did not ask if it was available for everyone to use.

    Outlet Area

    RV and Big Rig Friendly Campground along Petit Jean River

    The Petit Jean River, flowing from an outlet, divides this US Army Corp of Engineers campround into two areas. There are 38 campsites, with electricity and water hookups. This includes three multi-family sites. Fees range from $18 to $40. Reservations are made on recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. First come, first served sites may be available outside the reservation season. The campground description at recreation.gov indicates that the campground is located on Blue Mountain Lake, but there is no lake access from here. A drive to Waveland Park is required for Blue Mountain Lake recreation. Most sites are waterfront; a few are just a short walk away from the Petit Jean River. Most sites have picnic table shelters. There are 12 sites and a restroom/shower house along the north bank of the river. The remaining campsites, along with a restroom/shower house, are on the south side of the river. The sites on the north side, except site #6, are in a open area offering little shade. The sites on the south side are along a forest and are more shaded. There is no privacy between campsites; several sites, especially on the south side, are close to each other. The north side restroom/shower house was closed. The south side restroom/shower house was very clean. The roads accessing and in the campground are paved. The campground is setup to accommodate RVs and big rigs, although tent camping is possible. Fishing in the river appears to be the main recreation activity. Walking access to the river bank is provided by stairs. Two playgrounds are at the south side camping area.

Guide to Caddo Gap

RV parks near Caddo Gap, Arkansas offer camping accommodations within the Ouachita Mountains at elevations averaging 600-1,000 feet. The region's humid subtropical climate features hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters. Annual rainfall reaches approximately 50 inches, creating lush surroundings for campers with dense forest cover throughout the camping areas.

What to do

Crystal mining opportunities: 20 miles from Caddo Gap. Crystal Ridge RV Park at Ron Coleman Mine provides direct access to crystal digging. "For $20 you can go spend the day diggin through dirt and finding crystals. I don't think everyone has the luck we had but we came after a rain and cleaned up. Hundred bucks in gems," notes one visitor who even found crystals in their campsite around the fire pit.

Lake activities: 15-minute drive from main camping areas. Treasure Isle R.V. Park sits directly on Lake Hamilton with waterfront sites. "If you get a lakeside spot, they look lovely," shares one camper, though interior spots are described as having "little wiggle room" with gravel surfaces. The park offers convenient water access for fishing and boating.

Diamond hunting excursions: Day trip option. Murfeesboro RV Park serves as a base camp for Crater of Diamonds State Park visitors. "This place has been great, we stayed for two nights and got to rent out equipment for free to go diamond mining," reports one camper. The park sits just "2 miles max from crater of diamonds state park," making it more spacious than camping at the crowded state park itself.

What campers like

Clean, modern facilities: Leisure Landing RV Park maintains exceptionally well-kept bathrooms that impress visitors. "The bathhouse reminded me of a dayspa!" exclaims one camper. Another notes, "The bathrooms and showers were VERY clean. It is obvious that someone is taking very good care of this park, down to folding the toilet paper into neat triangles."

What you should know
