What you should know
Cabin reservations: Peak season typically requires 3-6 month advance booking for weekend dates. "Devils Den is a gorgeous parked tucked in the mountains of Arkansas. The primary campground for RVs is one of the better campgrounds I have seen... Make sure to stock up on supplies beforehand - there are not many options within that area as far as food and services," advises Gonzo A.
Elevation considerations: Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort sites experience significant temperature differences from valley locations. "Flat Sites, Clean, Nice Amenities, Nice Staff, Little Exposed in heat to Sun. Best shades sites rented in advance. (Site 24-27)," Chris A. notes about summer conditions.
Accessibility challenges: Several cabin areas have steep approaches or multi-level layouts. "Many of the campsites are on a grade. They all have multiple levels with stairs and have no railings. We had 5 children <6 years of age and the sites were somewhat perilous," explains Ryan S.
Seasonal closures: Some facilities close or operate with reduced services during winter. "Campground is currently (April 7) closed for maintenance and flooding. Call before you go!" warns Jo from a recent Devil's Den experience.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Prairie Creek (AR) offers multiple recreation areas near cabin rentals. "There are nice recreational areas with play equipment, pavilions and beach volley ball. There is an area for swimming as well," shares a visitor.
Swimming options: Cabins with pool facilities provide alternatives to lake swimming. "The lake is very dark at night. They are full most weekends and its best to reserve online," advises Beth M., highlighting the importance of safety planning.
Kitchen preparation: Most cabin kitchens provide basic equipment only. "The sites have a table and a fire pit. We were unable to try some of the trails here but will be back," reports Tom K., suggesting visitors bring specialized cooking tools.
Weather planning: Summer storms can affect cabin accessibility. "A gorgeous park in the Ozarks National Forest close to the civilization in Fayettville Arkansas. This place reminded me of Lake Lure from 'Dirty Dancing' with its historical buildings and beautiful lake," describes Annie C.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Cabins at Blowing Springs RV Park & Campsites provide urban proximity with forest settings. "Perfect for the mountain bikers and hikers. Great location to access Bentonville," notes Nathan V., highlighting its convenient location.
Supply planning: Limited store options require advance shopping. "We love camping at Devils Den every spring! The trails are great and have beautiful views. The rangers and staff in the shop are very nice. Bring what you need the nearest store is about 20 minutes out," advises Tiffany H.
Vehicle requirements: Some cabins have challenging access roads. "The drive up to this campsite was a slight challenge. I would recommend an SUV or other tall vehicle with 4 wheel drive. The twisty, steep, narrow dirt road makes for quite an adventure," explains Clarissa F. about White Rock Mountain.
Utility considerations: Some cabins offer limited electric service. "Power at our site had low voltage so the AC wouldn't run correctly. Probably a better destination when it is cooler and definitely if you wanted water access," Phil B. cautions.
