Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Hope, AR

Te office is nasty dirty has a moldy smell. The bathhouse has mold on shower curtains no soap to wash hands problem flushing toilet.  There was wires zip tied to lady's side . No security after hours and no way to get help after lady leaves at 5. The dog park had poop everywhere and other campers had dogs running off chain. No lights at night was very scary the back of park was awful.  Grass and weeds growing up needs a major clean up and maintenance!!! The playground is near drains that child could fall and very outdated and ran down. Wifi was very poor to say less

Decent little place. Pool. Nice people. Pet friendly.

Best camp ground. Very kid friendly and pet friendly. Most of the spots have some of the best views you have ever seen. Wonderful playground for the kids.

Tent, RV, and Cabin options available. Tent site range up to $25 nightly, $38 nightly for cabin, and up to $30 nightly for RV. Full RV hook ups, up to 30amp. Pet friendly, wooded, and has playground. Campground is close to Crate of Diamonds SP

Clean campground with decent sized sites. Only a handful are 50 amp, which we were fortunate to get. The park isn’t very large (about 50 sites). Exterior sites have more space between them than interior sites. Lots of people pulling their boats up to the shoreline and docking there. Lots of shade. Nice little campground, but because of the size, don’t expect to be “away from it all.” Nice playground for those with kids. Rocky Point campground (also COE) is just around the corner. Only cons (not the park, but camping etiquette): I have noticed a lot of folks not adhering to the “pets on leash” rule, and people also don’t seem to mind walking through others’ campsites. Beautiful trees, water is nice, and the campground is close to town if you need to run out for supplies. Will definitely camp here again.

we camped at site 38 hoping for privacy but there were at least 2 campsites in plain sight (though we are probably a bit pickier than most). Trails were really nice despite it having rained the day and night before our hikes. Beautiful to see such towering trees. Saw some deer tracks too! Our dog picked up a tick here so just make sure you're checking your animals/selves

Nice trail, be better after a rain . Level 1 for sure . Some dispersed sites towards end of this end . Residential before you get to end . 2 Dogs running around . So please go speed limit through res’ . Fires aloud , hella mosquitoes. Dogs around too .

Friendly service at check-in. A couple of sites were available for us to chose from. We choose A4 backing up to the catch and release pond. We caught many brim in the pond. Level site. Metal picnic table. FHU. Plenty of space between our neighbors. I had enough room to do yoga. Dog friendly.

I stayed here last summer and I’ve never seen such a bad tick infestation. I reported it to the office so I hope they did something about it.

its a nice park if they deal with the problem

We stayed at this camp ground Memorial Day weekend 2018. So disappointing! I stayed at this campground as a child and have very fond memories but was very dissipointed this time. Some of the sites are very unlevel and there was poison ivy overgrown everywhere. You could not walk anywhere without having to pick your way through it. We got ticks on us and so did our dogs. The parking is terrible and not enough of it anywhere, especially near the swimming area. We have another weekend reserved here and if I can get reservations in another campground I will cancel the ones for here.

This was a beautiful free campsite with several grills and concrete picnic tables. You are able to access and swim in the lake. There are also vault toilets but you will need to duck through the huge spiders. No running water or electricity and no stores close so be prepared with food and water. There is also limited or no wood available on site.. Cell phone service was good for AT&T. We planned to stay here for the weekend HOWEVER we were nearly eaten alive by chiggers and sand fleas even with bug spray. I don't have a clue how the other campers were able to stay We had to leave early the next morning. There were campers dogs running around and even they were being eaten up. Side note: ranger came around and got our names and license plate number "in case we went missing"

We stayed in Daisy for the Eclipse weekend and expected this place to be crawling with people, so we were so happy to see it was still amazingly clean and quiet.  We stayed in walk-in site #67, which was at the very end of the paved path from the parking lot.  The site had a very level and massive gravel tent pad, as well as firepit, picnic table and lantern post.  The hill in/out is quite steep, but the pavement makes it easy to haul with wagon, and I've rarely seen multiple water spigots in a walk-in area like that.  Our neighbors were a little closer than we're used to for walk-ins, but we had glorious views of the lake and very little traffic walking past our site, which is a blessing when you have two somewhat barky dogs.  The camp store sold firewood, ice and souvenirs and they were super-friendly, and one of the rangers even helped load the firewood in the car for me.  My only complaint is that there's only one hiking trail in the park, and it's just a very short nature trail and doesn't really give you a good view of the lake or anything.  However, there were many beautiful trails to be had within a 30-40 minute drive of the park.

get place to camp, located in the foothills of the Quachita mountains in Arkansas. They have tent and RV camping areas. Has a great swimming area and beach.

We originally stayed July 2020. Cute and well-maintained little spot in the forest! Charles was a gracious, personable host and met us on-site. He told us the history of the land, and gave us the rundown of all things Bluegill. We met his dog, Lily, who is a sweetie pie. There are plenty of spots for hammocking, and a clean, level clearing for a tent with enough room to park our vehicle. Charles gave us the VIP treatment and brought down a couple solar powered fans, which were all the difference after sundown and the breeze completely stopped. Kitty Cove was secluded, but you'll definitely want to bring a tarp or umbrella because there isn't much shade cover. There are two little islands you can swim or kayak to from Kitty Cove. Bennett Cove was perfect for star-gazing, but admittedly a little less secluded. You get a wide view of the sky, and if you're lucky like we were, you'll see meteor fireball shoot completely across the sky. If you get bothered by the boats on the water, the stars are gorgeous from the clearing on the campsite.

UPDATE as of April 2022

If you're in the area, this is such a wonderful hidden gem. We went back after an unfortunate backpacking trip, and Charles accommodated us last minute. He says campers have all but disappeared the past few months. He has a new camp toilet, and more designated spaces around Bluegill Hill. He's really put a lot of love and hard work into the land, it's hard to see it go unloved by campers. It really is a wonderful place to relax by the river and escape from the busier campgrounds.
