What to do
Trout fishing access: At Roaring River State Park Campground, anglers can fish for stocked trout in designated zones. "There is a working trout fish hatchery. You can walk the holding tanks and feed the trout from baby to ready to be released into the river," notes Wendy M. The park also features "a cave you can walk in where you'll find a pool of water that goes for miles underground."
Mountain biking trails: Wanderlust RV Park provides easy access to nearby trail systems. "We like to mountain bike and this location is only a couple of blocks away from the Passion Play property which has close to 29 miles of amazing trails to ride plus the amazing property to explore," shares Allen S.
Kayaking and swimming: Beaver Lake offers multiple water access points with rentals available. "The lake is nice and quiet, allowing kayak, canoe, and SUP," reports Jess C. about Lake Leatherwood City Park. "You can rent canoes, paddle boards and paddle boats on an hourly rate if you haven't brought your own."
What campers like
Waterfront sites: Lakeside cabins provide direct water access. "The lower camp sites are on the water so you have easy access to the water," explains John F. about Rocky Branch Campground. "Most sites are big enough for 30+ foot RVs."
Swimming beaches: Multiple campgrounds maintain designated swimming areas. "There are a lot to do if you are a family and like to spend time on the lake. There are nice recreational areas with play equipment, pavilions and beach volleyball. There is an area for swimming as well," writes Matt S. about Prairie Creek.
Hiking trail accessibility: Devil's Den State Park Campground offers numerous hiking trails directly from cabin areas. "The trails are great and have beautiful views," shares Tiffany H. The park features caves and rock formations that appeal to explorers, with one reviewer noting, "I highly suggest hiking the Yellow Rock trail just outside of the campground. The large rock 'mountain' it leads you too are so much fun to play on."
What you should know
Varying levels of cabin amenities: Cabin types range from basic to deluxe. At Beaver Lake Hide A Way, visitors find "good size sites and full hookups" according to John F., while other cabins are more primitive with limited facilities.
Limited cell coverage: Many cabin areas have restricted connectivity. At Devil's Den State Park Campground, "there's no cell service whatsoever but Wifi (paid) is offered by the park," reports Gonzo A.
Seasonal operation: Most cabin rentals have limited availability during winter months. Jennifer O. notes about Beaver Lake Hide A Way, "When we camped here (beginning of March) it was very quiet. It might have been a shoulder season or just opening."
Shower house distance: At some locations, shower facilities may be far from cabins. "The hike to the jolly bathrooms was all uphill, and the showers were a 20 min walk. Quite long," mentions Cate S. about Prairie Creek.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Select cabins near recreational facilities. "There is a great trail system in this park, so be sure to take a hike or three. Up in the RV area is a nice playground for the kids, and down by the lake is a big boat launch," notes Annie C. about Lake Leatherwood.
Site selection: Request cabins away from busier areas for quiet evenings. "We stayed in site 39, up the hill from the beach, very secluded site with lots of shade," shares Kent A. about Rocky Branch Campground.
Activities for children: Eureka Springs KOA provides structured entertainment for kids. "We brought our grandkids out for a weekend and stayed in one of the larger spaces with a deck and gas grill. From swimming in the pool to shooting hoops and climbing in the playgrounds they have had plenty to do," explains Craig B.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Many cabin and RV sites require significant leveling. "Be prepared with as many leveling blocks as you can bring if you have a trailer. All spots seemed to have unlevel pads," advises Mandi R. about Prairie Creek.
Access road conditions: Some cabin areas have challenging approach roads. "There is a big decline in and a big decline out. I seriously suggest 4x4 and no smaller than 3/4 ton in and out of this place if you're towing," warns Levi H. about Eureka Springs Adventure Park.
Proximity to attractions: Consider distance to amenities when selecting cabin locations. "The location is great as well you can take the back road in to Eureka and by pass all the traffic to get downtown. They are also on the trolly route if you have don't feel like driving," explains Allen S. about Wanderlust RV Park.
