Best Campgrounds near Cotter, AR

Most of the sites on this app that say there's just first camping this area or wrong. They've been turned into day. Use only areas. We did find this small road with a loop at the end that have pull-in campsites. They're nothing special, some of them are overgrown. Mostly all of them don't have any kind of fire ring. Looks like nobody really ever comes out here. There's a big one at the very end of the road where the circle is. It does have a rock fire ring and it's probably the nicest one available. There was nobody here when I came so it was fun to let the dogs run.

If you go down the road to what used to actually be the Noblett Lake campground (it is now a picnic area, no overnight camping allowed). They do have vault toilets available but they're gross.

This road and loop is just straight primitive camping. Nothing special at all.

We have recently moved our tiny home to this lovely quiet family-owned park. They are open to more fulltime residents and are tiny home friendly. There are no resort-type features. But, there is bath house with laundry and gorgeous tree shaded lots on gravel drives with full utilities. Outside of Yellville, AR there no restrictions against tiny home living. A fourth generation country grocery store is about two miles away and includes a real butcher shop and fresh produce. A Walmart, full service hardware store and the fishing paradise of Bull Shoals Lake(with the only remaining operational ferry in Arkansas) make this a great location to retire. No highway noise but close to Branson with the Ozark mountains all around you make it the spot for us.

This place is great! We stayed in one of the platform huts and it was extremely clean. We stayed in the middle of July and the AC was turned off when we arrived but within a few hours the hut was completely cooled down which was awesome. Kids loved running around in the well-kept open areas and playing frisbee golf. The bathrooms were EXTREMELY clean..like spotless which isn’t always expected at a camp ground. The store is also a plus and has just about everything you might need if you forgot anything. Overall an A+ experience for relatively new campers with small children. We will definitely be back.

Loved the location as we had tickets to the clay cooper theatre and could actually walk to the show each night! The sites were gravel and mostly level. Some sites had shade and each had a picnic table. There was a couple of fenced dog areas. One was in full sun most of the day and was small, but a nice area to allow them off lead to smell and do business. Lots of poop bag stations all over the park. The park was a little difficult to just walk as it has some steep hills. But my dog and I decided to take early morning strolls on the Main Street since we were so close. At 6:30 am there was very little traffic and the weather was nice for a good walk. We loved it. The bath house was clean although small. The pool was very nice and never crowded. The laundry facility was very clean and had several machines. $1.25 to wash and $2 to dry. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful in the office. We plan to be back to Branson and this is our go to campground now!
