Buffalo Point is a convenient, fun-filled destination for families and adventurists of all types. It's perched along the Buffalo National River, providing exciting river sports and hiking opportunities. In peak season, a restaurant is open at the facility, serving up meals for those who want a break from preparing them.
The wild river is a gathering place for water activities. Many campers spend their days fishing, hiking, canoeing or kayaking. Evenings are ideal for gathering next to the fire to revamp for another great day out on the river.
The campground is set along Buffalo National River, one of the few free-flowing rivers remaining in the contiguous United States. The river runs 135 miles without dams and cuts through the Arkansas Ozarks and into the White River. The region is surrounded by droves of lush hardwood trees and grassy open meadows.
Two popular attractions within the Buffalo Point Area are the Indian Rockhouse Trail and the Rush Historic District. Rush was a zinc mining community until the zinc market collapsed and the settlement was deserted. Tours about the town's history are available. Buffalo Point is the former Buffalo River State Park developed in the 1930's as project of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Blanchard Springs Caverns, an extraordinary living cave, is a one-hour drive from Buffalo Point.

Experience nature and adventure at historic White Rock Mountain! This National Forest Recreation Area features three unique and rustic natural stone cabins and a large natural stone lodge built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Each features a stone fireplace new, antique, and original wood furniture handcrafted by the CCC. Wind, rain and natural elements had caused the deterioration of the buildings over the years. In 1987 a volunteer group, Friends of White Rock, began a project to renovate the historic structures. With a lot of commitment and hard work, the lodge and cabins were restored to their original state in 1991. White Rock Mountain also offers nine primitive family camping sites. These easily accessible shaded campsites include tents pads, fire rings, grills, picnic tables and access to restrooms and water. Small RVs or pop-up campers can be accommodated at a few sites.
White Rock Mountain is the hub of several national forest hiking trail systems including the easy 2 mile trail around the mountain top rim, the 17 mile Shores Lake/White Rock loop trail, and the renowned 170 mile Ozark Highlands Trail. Other recreational activities include swimming, boating (non-motorized) or fishing at Shores Lake Recreation Area; swimming, floating or fishing the National Scenic Mulberry River; Mill Creek and other National Forest ATV trails; mountain biking, hunting and more.
White Rock Mountain is 2,309 feet above sea level and received its name from the appearance of the lichen on the sheer bluffs that appear white from a distance. Guests at White Rock can enjoy incredible scenic views from the lodge, cabins, campground and bluffs. The forest is home to a large variety of wildlife including deer, bear, bald eagles, turkey and more. In the fall season White Rock Mountain offers unrivaled opportunities for taking in the bright red, orange and yellow autumn foliage that sweeps across the Ozark National Forest. The forest around White Rock is also a waterfall hunter's paradise featuring several great falls located in the surrounding area.
This location is staffed. Please call (479) 369-4128 to speak with local staff.

It's a good place to camp they got cabins concessions and rentals
This is an incredible place to camp. Your camp is where the White River and Buffalo rivers merge. If you enjoy fishing this has some of the best trout and bass fishing in the area. The resort has cabins, full hookup sites , tent sites, pool and play area for the kids. If you like to just float or fish they can help you with what you need. There is also boat rentals , fishing guides, just plain relaxing. The resort is family owned,
The views, as other reviewers have said, are impressive and the Rim Trail is worth doing any time of day and any season.
One warning on the cabins though - in summer be prepared for some bugs. Stayed in Cabin B in August one summer with my wife, who is tougher than anything but spiders. I would have been wise to get there a couple hours earlier and let her relax while I cleaned the place thoroughly. They were pretty thick throughout.
It's not that they're dirty, it's just that they're old buildings which aren't used every day surrounded by forest. Naturally, you get spiders, rodents, etc. It didn't bother me at all, but it did her. Water pressure and hot water were not what one would hope if you want a shower as well.
We both enjoyed the setting, loved the cabin otherwise, and loved the hikes. We've done day hikes there with the kids' since, and in a prior visit I saw a bear go lumbering in front of my truck on the road to White Rock. Only time in 40+ years I've seen a bear in the wild in Arkansas, and I grew up in the country!
Still recommend White Rock, but if you're considering the cabins it's worth bringing cleaning supplies. Even with that, they're a great bargain.
Blue Heron cabin was awesome! It was so so clean, and beautiful! Over looking the water can’t get any better! The cabin was so nice! Michael was great to work with and very professional and very nice! Can’t wait till next time ❤️
Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this property with gorgeous cabins. A great location for all of your outdoor adventures. Check them out and leave them some love!
My Drive to the campsite was beautiful. The new owners are extremely kind & accommodating.
My cabin was perfect for my dog & I. I’m excited to see the updates to visit again.
The views are exquisite. The people are warm and inviting. The cabins are very comfortable and clean. The campground is very clean and beautiful. The hiking trails are for everyone. Highly recommend!
Horseshoe canyon ranch is an awesome place. There are many places to camp as well as bathrooms. It is a spectacular place to climb from beginner to advanced! The ranch also has cabins and horseback rides. Check out their website for more info.
Great place to camp, been coming here my entire life and it has changed very little in that time. Boating, fishing, swimming, cabins available, lots of trails to hike. Just minutes from Mt Magazine and the town of Paris. Friendly staff.
This place is not your run of the mill rest stop. Car camp, hammock, tent camp, or rent one the cabins to enjoy the roaming goats and horses around the property. Infamously known in AR as one of the best climbing spots. It does get quite busy, so it’s best to arrive earlier in the day to claim a good spot.
Camp hosts are amazing. They make you feel like you're family and they will even walk your dog for you if you need them to. Campground is very shady, quiet. Plenty of room between sites. Cabins are beautiful. Plenty for kids to do. Close enough to Harrison and other towns. We'll be going back to visit with our new camp host friends.
Cute adorable cabin. Perfect size for 4 of us. My husband, teenage son & daughter & myself went for Fri - Sun trip last weekend of October. Only problem was smell that came from toilet because I guess they use water treatment system and or septic system. Everything else was great, quiet and peaceful at night. We stayed gone during the day sightseeing. Would go again.
90 RV sites, 87 full hook up sites, 3 power/water. Sites are level gravel, some sites are over 80’ long! Buddy sites available. Easy access to Downtown Eureka Springs via the trolley system. There is a trolley stop onsite. Very clean bathrooms, showers, and laundry. The park is very well kept. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Wanderlust RV Park and Cabins
We celebrated a birthday with family and friends at Blue Heron - we traveled from Texas. What a GREAT place. Beautiful views - so many amenities - they have everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Can’t wait to return and stay in one of the riverfront cabins. SO nice. Cheryl and Michael were so helpful and made sure our trip was one for the books.
We backpacked into this campground from Shores Lake on the west loop trail with the intention of going back to Shores Lake the next morning via the east loop. Instead, we had the campground host drive us back down the mountain the next morning. She was super friendly and graciously accepted a tip for her troubles. They have cabins on sight that looked quite cozy and would allow watching the sunrise from the mountain top without having to backpack in.
This campground is located along a great motorcycle route in the Ozarks. My friend and I were on a motorcycle camping trip and stayed here with our tents. The guy running the place was friendly and laid-back. The bathrooms and showers were super nice and perfectly clean. They even have a washer and dryer that campers can use. There is a playground for kids and several cabins as well. The only downside to this location was the road noise. Thankfully, it calmed down after dark.
There's something for everyone at Byrd's Adventure Center! The facility is located on 800 acres surrounded by the Ozark National Forest and Mulberry River.

Byrd's is rapidly expanding to accommodate music festivals and private events. The Mulberry Riverfront Restaurant is sure to be a highlight of your trip to the Ozark Mountains
;) awesome!
Stayed here in site 05. Quite the drive to get there, and that’s half the fun. Roads are not paved but not unreasonable. I saw multiple sedans on top. Small park, but 100% worth the stay. The views here are unparalleled and the staff was amazing. Firewood delivered to my site was a huge plus. Clearance for the RTT in my site was close, and it wasn’t the most level. I had blocks to balance it out and that worked fine :) Sites on the east side of the camp are far more level and suited to roof top tent camping. They also had cabins that looked amazing. Staff was friendly, helpful, and did a great job. 10/10 would absolutely stay here again.
Dogwood Springs in Jasper AR is definitely rustic and unpolished with regard to its setting. RV sites do have full hook-ups although we had an issue with the sewer draining properly on site 31. With only one bath room each for men and women and one shower each as well, they do provide the basics. We had an opportunity to peek into a cabin and we were very impressed with the set up, having a full bath and mini-kitchen. It was well appointed and inviting.
The lay-out of the campground is a bit odd in that some sites are only accessible by driving through another.
The view from site 31 included that of Round top mountain but also vacant, declining commercial buildings near the campground.
Proximity to stores and restaurants in Jasper was handy.
It's a bit off the beaten track, but the roads leading to White Rock Mountain Recreation Area are well maintained dirt/gravel forest roads. Any vehicle could make the trip just fine. The drive to White Rock is part of the fun.
The campground, general store, and cabins are all at the top of the mountain. The 2 mile trail around the rim of White Rock Mountain is stunning...excellent views over and over again. It's a level trail too, so it's really more of a simple walk than a hike.
One of the convenient things about White Rock is the general store. If you are camping, and you forgot some things at home, there's a good chance the store has you covered. They sell a variety of food (pizza, sandwiches, wraps, chips, candy, ice cream, etc.) and other general supplies. The pepperoni pizza was good...12 inch pizza for $11. You can also get a bundle of firewood delivered to your campsite...I think it was $8 for the firewood.
The campground is small with only 8 regular sites, and a separate group site off by itself. Sites 1-4 are on the east side of the campground loop. These sites back up to the road that enters the recreation area. Sites 5-8 are on the west side. They are closer to the bluff line, but not quite close enough for the kind of view you will get when walking the trail. I would recommend site 5. It's on the far northwest side of the campground, so you don't have a neighbor to your north. But really, all of the sites are spaced out fairly well, so privacy shouldn't be a big concern anywhere. A pit toilet is located directly across from site 5. While only a pit toilet, it is kept remarkably clean. There is also water available in the campground. Overall, a wonderful little patch for camping and scenic views. The cabins look fun as well, but I'll have to save that for a future trip.
Arkansas' claim to fame! The first national river.
Great canoeing, fishing, swimming and tuning on one of the cleanest rivers around! If you come help keep it that way!! Several outfitting choices near by with reasonable rental and shuttle rates.
Ccampground is always a favorite! Running water and electricity at the sites. A bit disappointed with no flushing potties or showers this year due to maintenance.
Hinking trails are abundant... check out Panther Creek or the old mining town Rush!
No cell service...great time to disconnect from reality!
We camped at Buffalo Point on the Buffalo National River over a long weekend in early October and found it to be lovely. We towed our 27ft camper, and while the sites are somewhat compact, they are also quite pretty, and there was plenty of room for the two of us on this trip. When we return with our kids, we’d probably opt for a different site, but we loved the beautiful rock wall and terraced tent pad (which we used as a seating area) at our site. The Buffalo River itself is a national treasure and a jewel in the crown of our native Arkansas. The Buffalo Point site also offered great hiking trails, which we enjoyed. We particularly loved the Indian Rock House trail, which was a beautiful and moderately challenging 4 mile loop. Our Sunday was spent on a 10 mile float of the river, booked through Dirst Canoe Rental, located just outside the park. The rental and shuttle service was convenient and courteous, and the float itself was breathtakingly beautiful this time of year. Floating on a Sunday in early fall meant the river was not crowded at all - a totally different experience from the summer. Most park services were closed due to COVID, so I can’t comment on any of them, but we found it very simple to do everything we needed without assistance. Sites were easy to back into, though we did see that some are quite short - be sure to double check site length when booking!
I want to start off by saying... This is an amazing place! BUT, the road to White Rock Mountain driving south on 79 is a minimally maintained one in a half lane dirt road full of rocks, erosion, bumps and a lot of up and down switch backs. My Subaru outback handled it fine, but it takes a full hour to drive less than 15 miles on this road.
I suggest you have an all wheel or four wheel drive vehicle with plenty of clearance. Leave your RV or trailer at home.
The campground is gorgeous. It is small with plenty of forest and trees. It is on top of the mountain and the staff keeps it clean and well maintained. The Pit toilets they have, honestly, are BETTER than most campground toilets with running water. I know you don't believe it, I wouldn't either, but go see for yourself.
There are a lot of signs to beware of Black Bears which keeps anyone on edge, but the landscape is gorgeous and relaxing. For the record we didn't see any bears. I am definitely coming back to White Rock.
I almost forgot to mention, there are a couple of cabins you can rent if you are worried about sleeping in Bear Country.
Very nice campground, mostly flat land for RV and primitive campground. The bathroom/shower house is very clean to use. This area is great for getaways, off-roading, or overloading.
We enjoyed a nice walk along the water, views of the sunset from a small cliff, and a peaceful night with out cell service! Highly recommended for those who are looking to get away from reality!
