"Sites are pull thru with full hook ups including robust cable TV channels and screaming fast wifi. Also used the laundry room, which was clean and reasonably priced."
"Upon arrival we were asked if we’d prefer a slot next to the bathrooms or away from the road. The road does seem a bit noisy so I enjoyed the option to be away from it."
"Owner is great and mostly around checking on things. Clean, well maintained, safe, easy in and out, quiet, small park. 8 full hook up pull through sites in front. We will be back."
"Quiet. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place, away from the city, this is a great place. I love it. Have stayed several times in several different sites. Will stay again. "
$39 - $136 / night
"They guide you to you site and help you back in, which is a nice tough. The restrooms and laundry facilities are very clean. The campground is well-maintained."
"We have a smaller pull behind camper and picked one of the ridge sites with 30 amp full hookup. The sunsets on the ridge were amazing!"
$38 / night
"The campground is small and a bit sparse, but the location to the river is unbeatable. The camp owner and store manager “Jim” is a delight…as is “homer” the camp dog."
"The campground has only been open for a couple of months, so not all amenities are available yet."
$37 / night
"Nice level pull-through lots. Hot showers, laundry, small play area. Very quiet except for the birds that wake you in the morning. Close to town but feels like the country."
"Game/exercise room. 5 minutes to anything you need, but still feels secluded."
$50 / night
"The view of Black Mountain at sunset is amazing! We love the well-kept grounds and spacious back in RV sites. They also have tent camping that you can book online."
"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. Mill Creek trailhead just 2 miles north from our campsite."
$55 - $60 / night
"This place is great if you like a quiet retreat. Brandon goes out of his way if you need anything. Just a short distance from Branson or Eureka Springs, it’s the bomb!"
"Property is located off Hwy 65 but road traffic is not too loud. They are located 20 miles from the Branson strip but the drive is quick and it was nice to stay outside of the craziness."
GuideVery nice COE campground, well kept, clean showers and bath rooms. Stayed in site#19. Sites had plenty of room between each one and plenty of parking for your tow vehicle. 3o & 50 Amp service. Hosts were friendly. We camped at Cricket Creek Campground in a Travel Trailer. Branson MO is 12 miles from Crickett Creek with Table Rock Lake within walking distance of the CG.
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.
LegendCamped here on Wednesday May 15, 2024. In the Piney Creek WMA, part of the Ozark National Forest north of Hector, Arkansas. Large camping area at a high clearance ATV trailhead, FR1322A, just off Adams Mountain Road (gravel road). The site has at least 2 established fire rings. Site is suitable for group dispersed camping. It looks like it can accomodate up to 3 truck camper size rigs. No problem with finding a level spot for our camper van. The ATV trail is a nice hiking trail into the forest. The trail has a handful of 4x4 obstacles along the way. A 1 1/4 mile hike takes you to a small unnamed waterfall, which may not be running during the dry season. The site is close to Adams Mountain Rd. We camped here during mid-week & only five vehicles passed by during the evening, with headlights briefly shining into the site. The area & fire rings were clean. Campsite surface is dirt, with lots of poison ivy in the surrounding foliage. Overall, this is a good spot; nothing special, but nice. T-Mobile 5G service (2 bars). Intermittent AT&T LTE service.
TravelerNice level pull-through lots. Hot showers, laundry, small play area. Very quiet except for the birds that wake you in the morning. Close to town but feels like the country.
TravelerStayed here for two nights over New Year's Eve. Campground had only 3 spaces occupied the first night, and we had it all to ourselves the actual night of NYE. To be fair, it was raining and cold weather was projected to move in. However, several campsites did not appear to have been occupied at all since fall, judging by leaf cover, so in spite of the flush toilets/showers, this may not be an overly popular campground. We have a small teardrop, and our fellow campers were using a tent and car camping; Site 16 appears to be the only site here suitable for 5th wheels, and its appeared to be a tight squeeze to back in. No hookups at any site.
None of the sites have views of the Mulberry River, but there is a lovely put-in spot for canoes/kayaks that right on the loop with the rest of the sites. All sites can also easily access the comfort station - which is located across from the day-use parking area. We saw two water spigots - 1 across from the day-use, and one at site 16 - available for fresh drinking water. We brought water in with us, so didn't taste test.
All sites have tent pads, fire pits and picnic tables, although several of the picnic tables are not in the best shape. Best draining sites appear to be in the 20s, on the north side of the loop, with 15, 19 and 23 appearing to have good vehicle access and good drainage.
We stayed at site 13, which appears to be reasonably popular, as there was little trash, and less leaves. Its a short walk and mild bushwhack through a ravine to reach a small cliff overlooking the river, and you can hear the rapids from the tent pad - very soothing! However, after 24 hours of straight rain, this site also turned into a muddy lake, making packing up an interesting endeavor.
No camp host, and I think the rangers checked on us daily, but we never had a conversation. There were several deadfall trees located in close range of all campsites, so you can cut your own firewood easily - PLEASE don't be that person who destroys a live tree just because you don't want to walk (we saw a few trees suffering from hatchet wounds at our site).
Hubby mentioned the men's restroom was quite dirty, but I thought the women's side was clean enough. No hand soap provided. Bear-proof trash receptacles located throughout loop, with most of them at the restroom.
Overall - loved that every site was located amongst the trees. Virtually no wind - in spite of a cold front moving in - and every site was mostly free of trash and debris left by previous campers. Would recommend to anyone looking for luxury among the Ozark USFS accommodations in the winter, if you're not looking for a spot for your 5th wheel or travel trailer.
LegendWhite Rock Mountain Recreation Area, in the western Arkansas Ozarks, has a campground with 9 tent sites. One of these is a large group site. 8 sites are arranged along a gravel loop road. In addition to tents, these tent sites will accommodate a camper van; the best sites for vans are #1 thru 4. These are level. Sites 5 thru 8, on the west side of the loop, have great views, but are probably not level enough for van, truck and car camping. Each site has a level gravel tent pad, grill, table & fire pit. The sites are not large enough for RVs. The forest roads leading to the recreation area are rough in places, but passenger cars can make it. Amber, our host, is fantastic. She delivers firewood to your site after purchase. The vault toilet is clean. Pump water is available. No hookups. The campground appears well maintained. The OHT runs though the recreation area. There is a really good hiking trail that loops around the rim of the mountain, offering fantastic views of the Ozarks. T-mobile cell service is available with sporadic LTE data service.
GuideThe staff here goes above & beyond! The campsites are close together but the amenities are worth it. Very family friendly. Right on the White River with easy access to the Buffalo River by boat, canoe, or kayak. Pool, playground, small store with essentials, boat rentals, ping pong, & more. Tent sites are mixed with smaller travel trailers. We would definitely recommend reserving a River front site! We rented a boat and explored the Buffalo River - it was very relaxing & amazing views.
GuideFirst let’s say the host and staff are very friendly and helpful. They guide you to you site and help you back in, which is a nice tough. The restrooms and laundry facilities are very clean. The campground is well-maintained. However spaces are tight and it could seem crowded if they’re campground we’re full.
When checking in they give you several brochures about attractions in when was the discount membership for The Dyrt.
Full hook ups do not include CTV or a fire pit. Each spot has a picnic table and most have sewer. All have water and power. Fire pits are available for rent and wood is for sale.
This campground is very close to several religious attractions. So if you’re looking for Jesus he will be close by.
If you’re looking for a more LGBTQ friendly place I would search out other campgrounds. Kettle Campground was flying a Pride Flag. Eureka Springs is a purple spot in a red state. And you’re reminded continually. People are warm and friendly. Lots of good places to eat and live entertainment. Two different shuttle routes stop at the campground. They sell tickets on the shuttle. This area celebrates diversity but I saw no people of color in town.
LegendCamped here mid-week on May 28, 2024, just after Memorial Day weedend. The Spring Lake Receation Area is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. The recreation area is gated between 10pm and 6am. It has a day use area, and a campground which is a long walk or short drive away from the day use area. The day use area has picnic tables, grills, beach and a central restroom/shower facility. Day use fee is $4. The small campgound is situated in the woods along Spring Lake across from the day use area. Camping fee is $15 ($7.50 for federal pass holders). Sounds from folks enjoying the day use area can be heard in the campground during the day, but it's very quiet during the night when the day use is closed. The campground has 13 sites. All of the sites can accomodate tent camping. Each site is unpaved and has a level tent pad, table, metal fire ring and lantern pole. Most of the sites are small with little privacy between sites. The sites are in the woods and have a view of the lake, with some actually on the lake shore. Our site, #8, has a short walking path to the shoreline - good for bank fishing. The campground has two single unit vault toilets which were reasonably clean. For showers and flush toilets, campers will have to use the central restroom/shower facilites in the day use area. The campgound has two water spigots, and trash reeceptacles. There is also a playground with swings and a group pavilion in the campground. There are no hookups at the campsites. I don't recommend this campground for RV camping; Cove Lake Recreation Area is a better choice. Because of the campsite sizes, levelness and ability to access, I believe sites 1, 5, 7 and 8 can accomodate van, RTT or SUV camping, and possibly small towables such as a pop-up or tear drop campers. In my opinion, all of the other sites are too small with tight access and not level enough for anything other than tent camping. Our site, #8, had a level pad which accomodated our camper van, plus a smaller seperate tent pad. The camp host was very friendly and provided good information. There is an iron ranger with payment envelopes at the campground entrance; cash and checks are accepted. There was no AT&T and T-Mobile reception, although cell reception may be possible at other locations around the lake. I came across three possible disperse camping spots around the lake (see separate listings). Overall, this is a beautiful campground. It was quiet and peaceful during the night. I would stay here again, especially in the Fall.
