Buffalo Point campground permits pets in both tent sites and cabins with convenient river access. The campground provides water hookups, fire pits, picnic tables, and trash service while maintaining well-marked trails suitable for dog walking. Sites accommodate RVs with electric hookups available, though some campers note the close spacing between sites limits privacy. White Buffalo Resort and Blue Heron Campground also welcome pets in their cabin accommodations, offering additional options for travelers with dogs who prefer more substantial shelter.
Buffalo National River's pet-friendly trails connect directly to many campsites, making morning dog walks convenient. Most campgrounds require pets to remain leashed in public areas, with specific designated swimming spots suitable for dogs along the river's sandy beaches. The camping areas feature gravel paths leading to the water where dogs can swim during warmer months. During peak summer season, the river access points can become crowded, making early morning or weekday visits preferable for dog owners. The bathrooms and shower facilities are clean and maintained regularly, though pets are not permitted inside these buildings. Some campgrounds provide designated pet waste disposal stations to maintain cleanliness throughout the camping areas.

TravelerThe owners are very friendly and have events to include all campers. Dog park and small laundry room on site. Three bathrooms one with showers. Dog wash station at two bathrooms.
TravelerRARE FIND Such a BEAUTIFUL place! I love all the oak trees and the sounds of nature are so relaxing. They offer a spacious dog park, which the dogs are currently playing at while I relax and take in nature. If you are looking for a small piece of nature where you can get way from it all but still be close to town, this place is it. Everyone here is friendly and the shared spaces are always very clean.
They offer great rates and a Military Discount too!!
Enjoy your stay!
TravelerThis is probably an excellent site in spring or fall. However summertime is hot at the site because of the lack of shade trees. Site 15 is by the water and has a large area for dogs or family. There is a staircase down to the water next to site 8. The fishing is good. It’s a pet friendly site however if your dogs bark neighbors will complain. The manager is friendly. They do not have trash pick up service; you just take your trash to a dumpster at the end of the camp, which is not a big deal. No grill available but has picnic tables and fire ring. WI-FI aid very good.
TravelerQuick lake access, spacious, shady space, pet friendly, amazing bathhouses.
ScoutMy wife and I camped here for four nights. Overall it was nice, but there were some things that I wish we knew. The location is great in the sense that it’s easy to get to and it’s laid out well. Unfortunately, it’s directly under an overpass and it is loud- loud enough that I used ear plugs at night.
It’s located on the White river and has a very nice gravel boat ramp, which is a big positive. It also has fishing access during low water.
The WiFi is excellent and the staff are super helpful and friendly.
The biggest plus for us is the bathrooms were among the best that we have found. They’re clean and fairly new.
There is plenty of property to walk and they were very pet friendly. It looks like many of the guests are long term residents.
GuideBeautiful area near the Buffalo National River. Lost Valley Canoe & Lodging has a yurt, campsites, cabins with hot tubs on the deck, bunkhouse, showers, allows pets, and is family owned. Loyal customers return year after year. Canoeing, kayaking, or hiking. LVC store has groceries, even organic, supplies, and friendly folks.
ScoutIt was one of the most peaceful campgrounds I have ever been in! Short hiking trail will lead you to the most gorgeous views! You can even do a little rock climbing here. Please keep pets on a leash. Pit toilets are available at each end of the campgrounds.
ScoutFor actual camping there was maybe 2 other campers in the area but during the day LOTS of people coming to swim ( and leaving trash 🤮 ) The water was beautiful, eating dinner by the falls has become one of my new favorite camping memories in arkansas. Lots of snakes and saw a feral cat but so pretty, and the bathroomS were absolutely disgusting and full of trash
TravelerWe 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.

"Beautiful caverns with lots of hiking and water activities and a no-frills campground among rolling hills.

Limited amenities: Tyler Bend Campground offers basic facilities only. "Pretty basic campground, kind of just a bunch of spots in a field. About half are first come first serve...
