Withrow Springs State Park Campground welcomes pets across its 30 RV sites with full hookups and 10 walk-in tent sites. Dogs must remain leashed throughout the campground, with trails offering excellent opportunities for exercise. Located about an hour from Northwest Arkansas, this family-friendly state park features clean, shaded campsites with sufficient spacing between sites. The park's War Eagle Trail provides scenic hiking with pets, though portions may be closed seasonally. Tent campers appreciate the updated walk-in sites that feature new tent pads accommodating up to 8-person tents, fire rings, and picnic tables on paved paths that make hauling gear easy while maintaining natural foliage for privacy.
Pet owners should note that several pet-friendly campgrounds surround the Hindsville area, including Horseshoe Bend Recreation Area, War Eagle Campground, and Prairie Creek, all allowing pets with similar leash policies. Wildlife encounters are common throughout these Ozark campgrounds, so keeping dogs leashed protects both native animals and pets. The natural water features at these parks provide opportunities for dogs to cool off during summer months, though owners should check for algae warnings before allowing pets in water. The surrounding area offers limited cell service, particularly at Withrow Springs where AT&T signal is unavailable at campsites but accessible at the visitor center. During summer visits, pet owners should be aware that the pool at Withrow Springs is permanently closed, though the slow-flowing War Eagle Creek provides a natural alternative for recreation.

GuideWe really enjoyed our stay here! It was the week after Labor Day and was mostly vacant, making for a quiet stay. Love the amenities for kids! The only reason I give 4 stars is the dog policy— it’s very strict, and there isn’t a dog park type area to let pets off leash to play & get energy out.
TravelerMy husband and I rented our first camper van to see if short trips meant to create memories are do-able in a camper van, for us. 1000% yes.
This was our first experience and got exactly what was described. The road was bumpy but we had zero problems with our 4x4 rig.
Sunsets and sunrises were stunning!!! Great fall retreat. We even met a stray cat we wish we could have taken home with us. Poor thing is starving. She will come if calls and purrs when petted. We named her “Sugar” after the location.
There seems to be a private off-road recreation area that provided moderate traffic. We were kind of tucked back a bit from the road and it didn’t bother us.
ScoutLocation is easy to find. Love being next to the water! Heard there is a dog park coming this summer. Great place to go if u want to vacation with someone that doesn't have a camper because of the cabins on property. we will be back.
TravelerThe owners are very friendly and have events to include all campers. Dog park and small laundry room on site. Three bathrooms one with showers. Dog wash station at two bathrooms.
GuideGreat atmosphere and sooo close to the Branson landing for dinner/shopping but also right on the river for a great day on the boat. Just a bit down river from Lily’s Landing (bait shop and a fun stop in for the kids to grab a snack). Walking distance to a park with play ground and two separate dog park areas (one fenced one open). Definitely an “RV PARK” nothing secluded about it if that’s what you’re looking for... very close to neighboring site and even in off season it was packed full the weekend we went. The sites along the river side had great big fire pits too.
ScoutGreat views, wonderful neighbors and a really nice dog park! Owners and management are very nice and helpful. Plenty of drive thru lots for big rigs. Higher end RV park, spacious lots, all utilities included. Beautiful new bathhouse kept very clean. Highly recommended!!!
TravelerRARE FIND Such a BEAUTIFUL place! I love all the oak trees and the sounds of nature are so relaxing. They offer a spacious dog park, which the dogs are currently playing at while I relax and take in nature. If you are looking for a small piece of nature where you can get way from it all but still be close to town, this place is it. Everyone here is friendly and the shared spaces are always very clean.
They offer great rates and a Military Discount too!!
Enjoy your stay!
TravelerI couldn’t get over how clean this facility was. Very kind and accommodating staff. We stayed in a Kamping Kabin with a bunk bed and a full size bed and it was sparkling clean. The pool was sparkling clean as well. Great dog park and children’s park.
ScoutNo pets in yurts. Yes to Cats ❣️. My cats travel campgrounds and usually are outdoors but here I kept them in cabin because they would not like it outdoors. Cabins had AC but smelled like dust polish. Gorgeous forest views in the shower house. HOT water when shower is on Cold setting. Cold at hot. Cool affordable camp store. Nice people. Too much cinnamon spray in all indoor areas but not cabins. 24 hour rec room w AC and a wall of movies and games and books and cozy couch. Hurricane machine and fresh yummy donuts are not to be missed. My son is Big and found the camp cabin too crowded small and didn't like the leather beds even with our bedding on them. I found it cozy except the polish but couldn't open it up because we wanted the cats indoors here. Great porch swing, nice condition. Microwave and fridge. Friendly staff.
Beaver Lake dominates the camping landscape around Hindsville, Arkansas, with nearly 500 miles of shoreline across the Ozark Mountains. Most campgrounds in the area sit at elevations between 1,100-1,300 feet, providing moderate temperatures with summer highs averaging 88-92°F. Winter camping remains available at select locations with temperatures typically staying above freezing during daytime hours.
Trout fishing at Dam Site River: The White River below Beaver Dam offers excellent trout fishing year-round. "The wife and I keep coming back year after year. There is trout fishing right along the grounds in the White River and the sites are well kept and beautiful," notes Stephen R. about Dam Site River - Beaver Lake.
Explore cave formations: Devil's Den State Park features unique rock formations and small caves. "The large rock 'mountain' it leads you too are so much fun to play on. They have tiny caves and are incredibly easy to craw around on," says Cj C. about Devil's Den State Park Campground. Remember to bring headlamps if exploring accessible caves.
Mountain biking near Eureka Springs: Access over 29 miles of trails from Wanderlust RV Park. "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.
Secluded sites for privacy: War Eagle Campground offers more isolation than busier areas. "Im a Northwest Arkansas local and this is one of my favorite places to camp locally. Its not too far off the beaten path but its on the less popular side of the lake so its usually more quite and less people camping than the campsites like hickory creek, prairie creek, and horseshoe bend," explains Nick P. about War Eagle Campground.
Updated bathhouse facilities: Many campers appreciate clean restrooms. "The bathroom/shower is nice. No swim beach to speak of. There is a marina," notes Chryl H. about War Eagle Campground. While not all campgrounds feature showers, those that do maintain them well.
Lake access for cooling off: Horseshoe Bend Recreation Area offers excellent water access. "Swimming area was very spacious. Nice playground for kids. Sites have electric but not water so fill your tank before you come," recommends Mary D. about Horseshoe Bend Rec Area & Campground.
Limited water hookups: Many campgrounds have electric but no water at individual sites. "No water hook-up. You fill your camper before getting to your campsite. Due to this site being in-level, you will lose water," warns George L. about Hickory Creek - Beaver Lake.
Seasonal closures: Check opening dates before planning spring trips. "Campground is currently (April 7) closed for maintenance and flooding. Call before you go!" advises Jo about Devil's Den State Park.
Variable site conditions: Expect significant differences between campsites at the same campground. "Spaces 33 through 43 I would recommend only if you have a small bumper pull that is maybe less than 21 feet long or a class A or class C that's probably less than 25 feet long. Most of these spaces would be very difficult to get into," explains Lisa M.
Swimming options: Prairie Creek offers excellent swimming areas for children. "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 volley ball. There is an area for swimming as well," explains Matt S. about Prairie Creek (AR).
Bug protection essential: The humid climate encourages insects. "P.S make sure and bring lots of bug spray," advises Cj C. about Devil's Den State Park. Ticks are common throughout the area, especially in grassy or wooded sites.
Kid-friendly hiking trails: Several parks offer accessible trails for children. "All of the trails are very nice to hike, even for our little ones," reports Matthew G. about Withrow Springs State Park.
Leveling challenges: Many campgrounds have uneven pads requiring extensive leveling equipment. "The pads are tired and drastically unlevel. The sites themselves are a PITA to get into. Crazy sharp turns & rediculously steep," warns Phil B. about Rocky Branch Campground.
Electrical limitations: Check amperage before booking. "Power at our site had low voltage so the AC wouldn't run correctly. Probably a better destination when it is cooler," adds Phil B. Many dog friendly campgrounds near Hindsville operate on 30-amp service or have limited 50-amp availability.
Dump station locations: Most pet-welcoming campgrounds in the Hindsville area offer dump stations at exits rather than full hookups. "There are no full hookups maybe shares water but no sewer hookups," notes John F. about Rocky Branch Campground.
