What to do
Bike trail access: Blowing Springs RV Park in Bella Vista connects directly to extensive trail networks. "This is your basic parking lot campground. Your site is all cement with full hook ups and a picnic table. No green areas to call your own, BUT you have incredible instant access to the trailhead of many singletrack bike and hiking trails," notes one visitor at Blowing Springs RV Park.
Winery tours: RV sites near Combs, Arkansas provide convenient access to local vineyards. "Settled right in between grape fields, beautiful manicured grounds with lots of picnic tables and plenty of area to walk dogs or kids. Great wines right up the road," shares a camper at Grape Country RV Park.
Creek exploration: Multiple campgrounds feature water access for fishing or wading. "What I like about this campground is that the tent sites are separate from the RV area, and RV's don't have to go through the tents to get to their area. Definitely hike back to Blowing Springs, LOTS of flowing water," recommends a visitor to Blowing Springs.
What campers like
Natural spring features: Water sources provide both scenic value and recreational opportunities. "I'll start my review by saying I've never pitched my tent in this park but have visited many times. There is also an arboretarium in the park towards the back, a couple caves, and a creek," explains one visitor about Blowing Springs.
Spacious RV layouts: Some parks offer more room between sites. "Clean and spacious RV sites. We love the view of the mountain and the fact that we can ride our ATV to the Turner Bend Store to get gasoline and sandwiches," reports a camper at Turner Bend.
Downtown proximity: RV parks near urban centers provide convenience. "We really like it because it is very close to the Razorback paved trail starting at mile 0 of more than 40 miles of excellent trails and near Arkansas University," notes a reviewer about Southgate RV Park.
What you should know
Site variations: Quality and spacing differs significantly between campgrounds and specific sites. "Sites in some of the facility are a little smaller and many others are very good sized, make sure to ask. Pretty level sites once you get squared away," advises a camper at Wanderlust RV Park.
Weather planning: The region experiences seasonal temperature fluctuations. "It was cold while we were there and he kept a space heater on in the bathroom, even when there were just a few of us in the campground," mentioned a visitor to Southgate RV Park about the owner's accommodations during colder weather.
Access road conditions: Some campgrounds have challenging entrance roads. "This is one of those RV parks that you have a love-hate relationship with. You love the location– super close to a town you want to be in and its attractions but, you drive in, take a look around and let out an 'ugh!' There is nothing appealing about this park– gravel roads and sites, no picnic tables, no fire pits, old bathrooms/laundry, and not much else," reports a camper about Southgate RV Park of Fayetteville.
Tips for camping with families
Amenity access: Consider parks with facilities for kids. "The amenities are nice they have a pool, shower house, laundry and meeting room. We only used pool it was clean and they were practicing COVID protocol it was very very nice," shares a visitor to Wanderlust RV Park.
Terrain awareness: Not all sites are family-friendly. "There is no play ground and lots of drop offs around the park. The only grassed area was the dog walk area," warns a family that stayed at Wanderlust RV Park.
Local attractions: Research nearby facilities. "If you are in need of snacks etc it's a quick 2 minute drive to the grocery store/sonic/Pizza Hut," mentions a visitor to Blowing Springs regarding conveniences close to the campground.
Tips from RVers
Site selection matters: Contact parks directly about specific needs. "They stuck us in the most narrow, difficult spot they could have, and made us pay 3 nights for a rally when we only needed 2. The reservation showed we had a 30 ft camper and we had the back end hanging off a 6 foot drop," cautions an RVer about their experience at Wanderlust.
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds have limited operating seasons. "This RV Park is amazing! The view of Black Mountain at sunset is amazing! We love the well-kept grounds and spacious back in RV sites," shares a camper at Fort Smith-Alma RV Park, which operates year-round.
Hookup variations: Confirm specific amenities before booking. "Simple, but nice. No frills. Quiet. Water, sewer and 30/50amp electric are easy access and to hook up," explains a visitor to Grape Country RV Park, highlighting the importance of verifying available connections at RV sites near Combs, Arkansas.
