Cave Springs, Arkansas sits within a diverse camping landscape dominated by Beaver Lake access points and Corps of Engineers campgrounds. The Creeks Golf & RV Resort provides in-town accommodations with full hookups, while Horseshoe Bend Recreation Area and Prairie Creek campgrounds offer lakeside options within 15 miles. Blowing Springs RV Park in nearby Bella Vista and Hickory Creek on Beaver Lake round out the established camping options. Most campgrounds in this region of Northwest Arkansas (locally known as NWA) accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several offering cabin rentals for those seeking more comfort.
Reservations become essential during summer months when lakeside sites fill quickly, particularly at Corps of Engineers campgrounds. As one camper noted, "If traveling during the summer I would recommend reservations, and if you have a particular site you would prefer, reserve as soon as possible." Many campgrounds operate seasonally, with Hickory Creek open April through October, while others like Horseshoe Bend maintain year-round availability. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with some campgrounds offering reliable connections while others have limited or no coverage. Roads to some campgrounds feature narrow, winding sections through the Ozark hills that require cautious driving, especially with larger rigs.
Lakefront sites receive consistently high ratings from visitors, with many campers highlighting the peaceful settings and water access. "Gorgeous lake with lots of lakefront sites. Several bathhouses. Sites have electric but not water so fill your tank before you come," reported one visitor to Horseshoe Bend. Wildlife sightings, particularly deer, are common at many Cave Springs area campgrounds, making them popular for nature lovers seeking outdoor recreation. Fishing opportunities abound, with Beaver Lake known for bass, crappie, and catfish. Site sizes vary considerably across the region, with some locations better suited for smaller rigs. Most established campgrounds provide electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, though amenities like showers and dump stations differ by location. The region serves as an excellent base for exploring nearby attractions including Hobbs State Park and War Eagle Mill.

GuideWanted Aunts Creek campground but its closed for the season, this RV resort is adjacent. Mostly long term 5th wheels and bigger trailers. Sites are fairly close together and somewhat level. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Place is in a bit of disrepair and overgrown some. Owner bought less than year ago and appears to be trying to get the place sorted. We stayed at site 9, its very close to 8 and no fire ring. I would suggest another site maybe 6 or 7 by the swimming pool. Campground next door has swimming, fishing, boat dock for recreation. Host is friendly and helpful. Other campers friendly as well.Store has a few items but not well stocked. This could be a nice spot with a bit of TLC.
GuideVery nice campsites sort of smile very tight corners. Lots of shade electric hook ups no water at sites, but has dump site and water access
TravelerThe campsites are well maintained. There are limited primitive sites that book fairly quickly. We stayed at an electric site due to no primitive sites being available. Keep an eye on the weather as several of the campgrounds are at risk of flooding.
RangerWe stopped for the night while passing through MO. Tons of spots open on a Monday in August. Cindy at the park office was so friendly and helpful. She suggested spot 100 in campground 2 since it backs onto the river. Lovely sounds! Lots of trout in the river - at that spot, it’s only about 1 foot deep so it was fun to wade in the water and let the pup run around.
Good park store, dump station, trash and lots of hikes to do. Too bad we simply stayed the night
RangerVery nice park - clean and quiet. We did the kayak tour this morning which was nice. There’s also a kayak rental Kiosk down by the boat ramp through Whenever Watersports (download the app). There’s trails and also a pool. Pool closed down Aug 9, 2026 since lifeguards had to go back to school. Not having a pool was the only bummer this trip cause temps are still close to 100.
ScoutThis is a cute campground with lots of trees for shade. This is my first camping experience and I’m impressed. Most of the campers seem to be long term residents who don’t make a lot of noise. I chose this one because the camp sites were wooded not parking lot fashion. Sewage hook up right at your site. Air conditioned laundry. Nice owners very accommodating. The pool is clean and a great way to cool off. Shower house a little dated but clean. It’s right on 62 and you can catch a trolly for 6$ a day for a full day of rides in eureka. The highway next to it kind of dangerous for an ebike but I just bought a month pass for 26$ My site seemed almost double in size. I started at 17 which seemed tight to get into.
LegendGot a great spot.

All the park and on-site restaurant staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The entrance to the resort is directly off the main road and is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number S-6. All sites had concrete pads, and they all appear to be fairly level. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. Bathrooms, showers, and a laundry area aren't available, although both restaurants on the property do have bathrooms for their customers.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, Cable, and OTA: there is no Wi-Fi in the park. We were able to get AT&T 5G with 4 bars. AT&T achieved 399 Mbps down and 10.6 Mbps up. Satellite reception should not be an issue at most sites, as you can move your dish around to an open area on your site. There are plenty of OTA stations available, and they all had great reception with clear HD pictures. Cable was not available.
Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is in great condition. The park has a covered bench, and they also provide doggie bags and a trash can.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website, and you are only a few miles from area stores and restaurants. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay, even if they don't have the normal RV park amenities like showers, bathrooms, or a laundry area
