Best RV Parks & Resorts near Calico Rock, AR

Multiple RV parks near Calico Rock, Arkansas provide sites with water, electric, and sewer hookups. Mountain View RV Park and Guest Motel offers full hookup sites with 30/50-amp service from March through December.

Blue Sky RV Park accommodates big rigs with spacious sites under mature trees. Sites at Denton Ferry RV Park include both 30-amp and 50-amp options across 44 campsites. "Large semi paved spaces with good separation between sites. Hookups were easy to reach and appeared to be in good repair," noted one camper about the RV parks in the region.

Many parks require leveling equipment due to terrain variations. Hand Cove Resort RV Park presents particular challenges, with one visitor noting, "I had to use 6x6 blocks of wood from the caretaker's wood pile as a foundation to jack the front end of my class C motorhome up." Most parks provide access to dump stations, though several feature on-site sewer connections. Cell service varies significantly by location - Verizon typically offers the strongest coverage. Pet policies differ between parks; most allow pets but maintain restrictions regarding barking and supervision. During peak seasons, particularly fall when mountain foliage attracts visitors, advance reservations are strongly recommended. Several parks offer weekly and monthly rates with discounts for extended stays.

    Whitewater RV Park

    No frills Downhome

    Mountain View is a great small town in the Arkansas Ozarks. This is not the place to come if you have to be entertained but can make your own fun or settle back and relax. Whitewater RV Park sounds exciting, high speed but no. Time to kickback, read a book, head to the square and listen to the ozark mountain music they are famous for. You can find all kinds of things to do and a place to stay is at Whitewater RV Park on a quiet town street not that far off from the court square. Free WiFi and if you pay extra you can get high speed wireless. Cable tv, pull through sites, dump station, full hook ups, laundry, shower house, flush toilets. This park has mature trees with lots of shade. It is located walking distance from the courthouse which is in the middle of the square. Granted it is UP the hill but it makes for a nice walk. In the square during the season you will often find locals and visitors picking and singing. It is a treat and free for the enjoyment. Mountain View also has one of the few remaining Drive In movie theaters. Check this place out for the weekly and monthly rates. Stay six nights and get seventh one free. For a small town Mountain View has so much to offer it’s guests. It brings our minds to days gone be. Weekends will find pickers on the square or concerts at Ozark Folk Center. Few campgrounds have pools but you can find a creek to dip your toes in. You have your choice of stand up paddle board canoe kayak Loco Ropes mountain biking hiking antiquing movie’s trail rides fishing I think you have the idea. MOVIES. Mountain View has a movie theater and one of the few drive in theaters left in th USA. Both offer first run movies.
    Have fun. Leave No Trace. Better than you found it.

    Blue Sky RV Park

    Great Spot

    This place is so much bigger than it looks. Great pull through sites. Great sites for family camping. It is located not far from town on a busy highway Highway 5 but once you pull off the road you would never know. Very shaded and mature trees. Owner has tried to think of everything but you will not find a swimming pool There are several outside family games and the local area is Loaded with fun things to do. Blue Sky even has event space that you can rent if you are staying in the park. 30 and 50 amp service cable TV available, free WiFi high speed with additional charge. Weekly and monthly rates available and check out the seventh night free. White River is not far, bring a boat or rent one. Trout fishing is great. Your options are open in this small community.  Get ready because Arkansas has ticks, chiggers, and humidity.

    Mountain View RV Park and Guest Motel

    Good Things Come In Small Packages

    I have driven by this campground numerous times not paying a lot of attention. Today I paid attention and realized I have made a mistake. There is a high fence that assist in keep this corner of Mountain View private. An oasis for anyone that wishes to venture in. A traveler will find a welcome smile and an amazing view. They will also find a well maintained campground and a motel. The campground offers concrete pads or gravel, 30 and 50 amp service, full hook ups, cable tv, wi-fi, high speed for extra fee, coin operated laundry, community fire pit with wood provided, dog friendly, showers and toilets and more. The motel offers all the amenities you would expect to find in a branded hotel/motel. There are eight motel rooms and two cabins available for rent. Both the campground and motel have access to two recreation rooms. Both have full kitchens, tv, stereo, dining tables and chairs. One recreation room has limited exercise equipment. There is 1.5 acres of green space that is also available for all guest. The view from the green space is worth dreaming over that morning cup of coffee. There are things you will not find in many campgrounds in Mountain View. Much of the entertainment in this area will be of a natural source. Weekends will find pickers on the square or concerts at the Ozark Folk Center. If you want to take a dip look to the creeks or the river. Stand up paddle boarding, canoe, kayak, Loco Ropes, mountain bike trails, hiking, antiquing, trail rides, fishing and I’m sure you get the idea. Movies. There is a movie theatre and the cherry on top is a drive in movie. Mountain View Drive In is one of only a few left in the US. You will find first run movies at both.

    Road Runner RV Park

    Nicely spaced and clean campground

    We stayed at this campground 1 night on our way between COVID-19 quarantine locations.  We found the park easy to navigate (no tight turns).  Large semi paved spaces (I say semi paved because the concrete pads were crumbling at least in our spot).  Good separation between sites with picnic tables, no shade but they do have a dog park.  Hookups were easy to reach and appeared to be in good repair.  Decent water pressure.  Many of the spaces were permanent campers or long term workers but it felt safe and appeared well maintained.

    Dam Site Campground

    Very nice and clean

    We stayed 3 nights over a weekend in early September. We had a pull through site in loop N that was perfect for our 41’ fifth wheel...plenty big, clean, and level. It was a little sunny, but other than that no complaints. The other loops were more wooded, but wouldn’t be good for big rigs. We will definitely come again.

    Dam - Quarry

    Clean campground, nice location

    Average space between sites. Level paved sites with gravel picnic area including picnic table, fire ring, lantern hanger. Some sites had covered picnic area. Limited shade, most sites don’t have trees. Good access to sites. Clean and private bathrooms. Each room had its own lockable bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Garbage cans were outside of bathrooms, as well as dumpsters near the registration building. Friendly staff upon check in. Campground was patrolled regularly. No laundry or recycling. Nearby road with little road noise. Verizon cell signal was excellent. There is a dump station and potable fill station. No store or food for purchase on site. No hiking in campground, but multiple trails nearby. Boat ramp at campground and lots of wading fly fishing in river. Fish hatchery across from campground.

    Sylamore Creek Camp

    Great site!

    We love this campground. We love having direct access to creek. It is kayak, family, pet friendly. The only thing it is lacking is internet connection, which for us is a plus for disconnecting. All sites are reasonably level. Site F is the premium and most secluded full hook up site. They have all levels of sites: primitive, water and electric, or full. Their small store has firewood and many other convenient items for sale. We take our own kayaks, but they do have rentals. They have public showers and restrooms, but the restrooms are currently closed due to renovations. It’s really one of our favorite local sites to camp.

    Greers Ferry Dam Site is one of several around the lake created by the Greers Ferry Dam which created the 40,000 acre lake.  The dam was dedicated by John F Kennedy one month prior to his death.

    Be aware that many of the sites might be hard to back into or hard to level your rig.  The area is thickly wooded and that might make it difficult.  There are a lot of large moss covered rocks that help to set the scene for  wooded wonderland for tents and smaller rigs.  Check your site before parking this park like many of the Corp of Engineer parks are older and built with tent and small RV's in mind.  It is a beautiful site and in Arkansas you must try the fishing

    Directions:  3 miles northeast of Heber Springs, AR by way of SR 25 Bypass.

    Choctaw is located several miles outside the town of Clinton Arkansas.  I would advise stocking up before leaving home or in Clinton.  Located in the gently rolling hills of the Ozarks.  The roads are in good shape but like most roads in Arkansas they could be considered, not narrow, but not exactly wide.  The campground is located right off the road so watch for your turn.  Choctaw is one of the few parks in the Greers Ferry complex that is right off the main road.

    The site numbers are well marked on the entrance of each site.  Some sites are more level than others and some are shorter than others.  Longer rigs will have to pay close attention to the size of the sites.  Area is well wooded giving a large amount of shade and a lot of needles and leaves.  If you don't carry a good broom you might want one to sweep your pad.  Trees are mainly pine so shade will continue through winter.  While we were there it was time for mowing but generally COE parks are well maintained

    Little Red River and the Greers Ferry Lake produce an amazing outdoor experience.  Sitting all along the banks of Greers Ferry Lake you are able to have your pick of any number of COE campgrounds and private campgrounds.  Choctaw is a good example.  

    Arkansas is called "The Natural State" and it does live up to its name.  Greers Ferry is located in Cleburne County Arkansas with several small towns dotted around the lake.  There are between 30,000 to 40,000 acres of crystal clear water depending on the season and the rains.  You may fish, scuba dive, water ski, SUP, kayak, canoe, swim or just relax at your campsite.  Your choice but is geared toward the outdoor life.

    Fishing is the sport of the day here.  You will find some of "The Best" fishing in the south with some bragging "In The World".  The lake holds the record for bass at 27 lbs 50 oz.  Tournaments begin in April and go through October.  Whether you are a local or a visitor fishing is done year round.  Every game fish native to Arkansas is stocked and maintained by the Arkansas Game and Fish.  Depending on the time of the year you are able to look forward to trophy size striped bass, walleye, and trout.  That is not to say you shouldn't hook your share of channel catfish, bigmouth and white bass and crappie.

    Have fun.  Stay safe.

Guide to Calico Rock

RV parks near Calico Rock, Arkansas provide camping options within the rolling foothills of the Ozark Mountains where elevations range from 420 to 704 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with mild springs, hot summers, colorful fall foliage, and occasionally snowy winters. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, with several closing during winter months when temperatures can drop below freezing.

What to do

Fishing access: At Denton Ferry RV Park & Cabin Rental, campers have direct river access for trout fishing. "Knowledgeable staff, quiet park right next to the river. Not all sites have campfire rings but they are available," notes Les T. The park includes a staircase down to the water next to site 8.

Water recreation: Local rivers provide opportunities for kayaking, paddling, and swimming from spring through fall. "Started there many times for fishing and kayaking. The people are great, can't beat the location for fishing and paddling," reports Leslie D. about Denton Ferry RV Park.

Local music: Mountain View's courthouse square hosts regular folk music gatherings within walking distance of several RV parks. "You can find all kinds of things to do and a place to stay is at Whitewater RV Park on a quiet town street not that far off from the court square," according to N I.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer sites with adequate spacing. "We had a back in spot along the ridge with a pretty field behind us and an amazing view," describes Bonita C. about her stay at Mountain View RV Park and Guest Motel.

Swimming docks: Some parks feature water access points with swimming platforms. At Hand Cove Resort RV Park, "The dock is also a swim dock the kids swam we fished. BBQ sat around the fire with the owner," shares Sharon W.

Tree cover: Mature trees provide shade at many parks. "Lots of tall trees that are well trimmed above RVs. Host was very nice and helpful," notes Wayne P. about Blue Sky RV Park, adding "Gravel pads that are level."

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Many RV parks close during winter months. Mountain View RV Park operates from March through December, while Whitewater RV Park runs from mid-March through early November.

Wi-Fi variability: Internet connectivity differs between parks. "The campground WiFi is OK. My Verizon signal was excellent and I was able to do video calls and Remote Desktop into other computers with no issues," reports Derek N. about Hand Cove Resort RV Park.

Entertainment options: The area offers unique recreation beyond typical amenities. "Mountain View has a movie theater and one of the few drive-in theaters left in the USA. First run movies will be found at both," shares a reviewer about Green Acres RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Child-friendly amenities: Some resorts offer family-specific features. "This campground was designed perfectly with family and couples in mind. The sites aren't very big but they are set up in such a way that even if someone parks next to you, it will not ruin your view," explains Leslie D. about Crown Lake RV Resort.

City park access: Several RV parks are located near public parks. "City park near by to walk your dog," notes Cindy S. about Whitewater RV Park, adding "We came for Memorial weekend! It was clean, not noisy at night."

Recreation spaces: Shared areas provide social opportunities. Mountain View RV Park offers "two recreation rooms. Both have full kitchens, tv, stereo, dining tables and chairs. One recreation room has limited exercise equipment."

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Some sites require additional equipment for proper leveling. "Hard to level. We were unable to use auto level and had to manually level. The front jacks were hardly down at all and the back jacks will all the way down," reports Caroline S. about Blue Sky RV Park.

Weather preparation: Summer heat affects comfort at exposed sites. "This is probably an excellent site in spring or fall. However summertime is hot at the site because of the lack of shade trees," warns Jaynee S. about Denton Ferry RV Park.

Extended stay options: Weekly and monthly rates provide savings for longer visits. "Step back in time for childhood memories. This campground is along side a busy city street which can be loud but will quieter down after the work day ends," notes a reviewer about Green Acres RV Park, which offers weekly and monthly rates with a "stay six nights get seventh free" policy.
