    Kingston Trails RV Park provides 10 RV sites with 30-amp and 50-amp electric hookups, water connections, and a dump station near Deer in the Ozark Mountains. Harrison RV Park & Campground offers 64 sites with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, operating year-round with big rig access.

Wanderlust RV Park in Eureka Springs accommodates larger RVs with 91 sites offering full hookups, operating seasonally from March through mid-November. "We had a great stay here it was very secluded and very easy to find. All the spots had hookups for electric but our spot the outlet was melted."

    During peak seasons, particularly in fall when foliage attracts visitors, reservations are strongly recommended for RV parks throughout the Buffalo River region. Concrete pads are available at some locations, while others feature gravel sites that may require leveling blocks. Most parks allow pets but enforce leash requirements in common areas. Cell service varies significantly throughout the mountainous terrain, with stronger connections at parks closer to towns like Harrison and Eureka Springs. Dump stations are available at most parks, though a few remote locations offer electric-only service. Travelers with larger motorhomes should verify road access conditions when booking, as navigation to some parks involves narrow mountain roads with tight turns and significant elevation changes.

      Cricket Creek

      Very Nice C.O.E. Campground

      Very 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.

      White Buffalo Resort

      Beautiful

      This location was our maiden voyage with our new fifth wheel RV. White buffalo resort is a beautiful place to stay with very friendly and helpful staff. Met some friendly, long-term RV’ers. The only drawback is they don’t have a bike trail except for around the campground (4stars). They offer free Wi-Fi, has a nice clean pool, adequate playground and pavilion. Scenery is fantastic.

      Blue Heron Campground

      Some nice amenities, some lacking.

      My 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.

      Adams Mountain Rd Dispersed Campsite

      Piney Creeks WMA Dispersed Campsite, AR Ozarks

      Camped 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.

      Redding Campground

      Luxuries in the Ozark NF

      Stayed 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.

      White Rock Mountain Recreation Area

      Mountain top camping

      White 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.

      White Buffalo Resort

      Awesome Location & Friendly Staff

      The 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.

      Wanderlust RV Park

      Quiet, Clean, potential to be crowded

      First 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.

The campground is small and a bit sparse, but the location to the river is unbeatable," mentions a camper describing Gilbert RV Park.
