Best Campgrounds near Berryville, AR

Berryville, Arkansas serves as a gateway to several camping options in the Ozark region. Nearby facilities like Kettle Campground and Wanderlust RV Park offer a mix of tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations approximately 15-20 miles from downtown Berryville. Most established campgrounds in this area feature full hookups for recreational vehicles, while also maintaining primitive tent sites with fewer amenities. The region's camping landscape includes several mixed-use facilities that balance both RV infrastructure and tent camping needs, with several properties offering swimming pools, shower facilities, and proximity to attractions in nearby Eureka Springs.

Road conditions throughout the region remain generally accessible for standard vehicles, though some primitive camping areas may require higher clearance during wet weather. Seasonal operations affect availability, with many campgrounds operating from March through November. A review noted, "Nice campground with a pool and very few bugs! The campground was very clean. The price for camping was good. Their bundles of firewood are large and cost $5, well worth it." Several campgrounds provide shuttle or trolley service to nearby towns, reducing the need for driving once established at a site. Cell coverage varies throughout the area, with more reliable service at developed campgrounds closer to population centers.

Campers consistently mention the scenic views and accessibility of facilities as key benefits of the region. The ridge-top locations of some campgrounds offer panoramic sunset viewing opportunities across the Ozark Mountains. According to visitor reports, the region provides a good balance of natural setting while maintaining proximity to area attractions. Some reviews indicate varying site sizes across campgrounds, with some locations having tighter spacing than others. Several campground reviews mentioned clean bathroom facilities and friendly staff interactions as positive factors. Visitors traveling with RVs should verify site dimensions when making reservations, as some locations have limited space for larger rigs despite being marketed as big-rig friendly.

    Huckleberry Ridge Conservation Area

    Overgrown with brush

    Small donut shaped clearing. The middle and edges are overgrown with tall brush and weeds. My 20' trailer and truck and someone in a van are camping here and its cramped

    Woolum Dispersed Area — Buffalo National River

    Easy access to the Buffalo National River

    Camped here mid-week in early November, 2025. Came here to camp while doing some smallmouth bass fishing on the Buffalo River. Quickly found a large, open, level site with a rock fire ring on a grassy field. This site was large enough to accomodate multiple vehicles and horse trailers. I did not try to find a spot on the river bank, although the river bank appeared easy to access. Only two other camping groups were here during my stay - far enough away that I couldn't hear them. Including the one at the day use parking lot, there are three clean and supplied vault toilets here. The campground appeared well maintained. No potable water and no trash service. Solar recharging and Starlink connectivity are possible. I received spotty T-Mobile 2G and 4G LTE service. This primitive campground is convenient for kayakers and canoers, as well as for overlanders and equestrian campers. I met a backpacker who just came off of the Ozark Highland Trail across the river and was camping on the rocky river bank. I recommend, especially for those driving 2WD passenger vehicles, accessing the campground using Searcy County Road 15 - not CR14. Although open during my time here, narrow CR14 still had some damage from recent landslides which resulted in rough driving conditions (although, high clearance, 4x4 vehicles should have no problems). Overall, I enjoyed camping here, and I'm looking forward to returning to this beautiful area in the Arkansas Ozarks.

    Sam's Throne Recreation Area

    Peaceful

    The campsites sit just off the dirt road. There's a little bit of traffic from people going to hike but not much, the campsites are pretty close together. The people that are across from me are a larger group and while they are very nice I can hear just about everything, they are not being loud it's just how the campsites are set up.

    I usually prefer a little more dispersed and secluded but this is still very calm and peaceful and leaves changing colors makes it absolutely stunning.

    It's a little humid during the day but still cool during the day and the perfect amount of chilly at night without being cold.

    I think I'm the only one here who has my dog tethered to a tree with a long rope, everyone else allows the dog to be off leash and that almost created a dog fight so just be cautious of that.

    *I have T-Mobile and have pretty good service

    The Embers Glamping and RV Resort

    Clean/New/Expensive/Great Location

    Little expensive, but does it all right. Super nice shop with coffee shop and pizza attached.

    Buffalo outdoor center

    Most beautiful place in Arkansas

    I love this area, we’ve enjoyed the cabins at BOC and brought our RV this time. I have zero complaints about the RV park except be aware it sits on top of the mountain. So wind can be an issue and there’s zero shade. Full hook ups, convenient to all the hikes and activities, totally level pads, and they don’t pack them in here like sardines- there’s only 15 spots. Be aware site 7 is low so if it’s rainy you will have water in your spot.

    Morgan Mtn Rd/Spy Rock Dispersed

    Perfect spot

    Perfect spot with a great view. We were the only ones and it was super peaceful. Good amount of shade for when it’s hot and good amount of trees to hang tarp when it’s raining. Big area so multiple tents and cars can pull in

    Hercules Glades (Watch Tower)

    Nice campground with access to trails

    Camped here in mid-October 2025. Free national forest primitive campground. Walk-in tent sites, but was able to find a site at the far end to park my van at the site. It was at the Long Creek Trailhead. It was mid-week, so it was quiet and peaceful here. Only one other camper here during our visit who car-camped in a parking lot. Sites included a metal fire ring and table; some with tent pads. Hammock camping is possible depending on the site. My site had a grass and dirt surface. The vault toilet was clean and equiped with tp. No potable water. Hiking into the Hecules Glades Wilderness Area was wonderful. The trails into the wilderness area appear to be open to hikers, backpackers, hunters and equestrian riding. Hitching rails are available at the campground. Access to the campground on the forest road was good; a 2wd passenger car should be able to make it here. Overall, a nice, peaceful overnight stay.

    Bentonville Bike Camp

    Great place to explore Bentonville and amazing biking trails

    Great private small business! Owners Julie & Jason very easy to communicate with. Campspot registration went smoothly. While we enjoyed Dry Camping meadow, they have a few basic cabins, and several electric sites. If you enjoy supporting a small family business and basic accommodations this place is for you!
