B-1 Pull thru
We stayed here while en route to SWMO. Hubby had been in the area working 10-15 years ago and knew quite a few of his colleagues had stayed at this park while working. We knew it was not far from the highways. Park was clean and mowed, but couldn't really distinguish the unpaved roads/pull-throughs from the grass. Gravel needs to be redone. Driving through the park, the back in sites were needing some maintenance and gravel work as well. There were very few signs pointing directions upon arrival and we had come into the park through the exit. We were asked if we had used Google Maps to navigate(yes, we had and we weren't the only ones as several others entered from Newberry). The entrance is off of Hwy 71, just on the north side of the church(Park entrance& church lot are shared). One centralized dumpster beside the propane tank/fill, pool& office. Cabins available for rental. Mostly residential in the North side of the park. Fishing pond for catch& release. Used to be, from the looks, an old KOA from the color scheme and some of the signs had a faded emblem. Park is dated. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our site was B-1. Right beside the exit on Newberry Rd. Mixture of gravel& grass. Picnic table, BBQ grill, and fire pit, although we were in a burn ban. Level, did not need blocks. It was quiet enough in our camper at night, but could tell when people left for work in the morning. It served our purpose to park our camper while we explored Ft. Smith and surrounding areas during the day; however, if back in the area we will stay elsewhere(cheaper places with more amenities). We camped at Fort Smith/ Alma RV Park in a Travel Trailer.

Great Park
The campsites are well maintained. There are limited primitive sites that book fairly quickly. We stayed at an electric site due to no primitive sites being available. Keep an eye on the weather as several of the campgrounds are at risk of flooding.

Accessible and lots to do
We stopped for the night while passing through MO. Tons of spots open on a Monday in August. Cindy at the park office was so friendly and helpful. She suggested spot 100 in campground 2 since it backs onto the river. Lovely sounds! Lots of trout in the river - at that spot, it’s only about 1 foot deep so it was fun to wade in the water and let the pup run around.
Good park store, dump station, trash and lots of hikes to do. Too bad we simply stayed the night

Site 16 - little piece of paradise
Very nice park - clean and quiet. We did the kayak tour this morning which was nice. There’s also a kayak rental Kiosk down by the boat ramp through Whenever Watersports (download the app). There’s trails and also a pool. Pool closed down Aug 9, 2026 since lifeguards had to go back to school. Not having a pool was the only bummer this trip cause temps are still close to 100.

Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort
Still a nice park, but...
We last stayed here five years ago when the park was new. Some of the areas and amenities that are now available were still under construction during our last trip. The bottom line… still a very nice park, but it's starting to show its age a little.
Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate, though several roads have asphalt failures that need attention. Even though it's not too far from Interstate 49, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all- very peaceful.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number 36. Most of the sites are gravel, but the pull-thru row that we were in had concrete pads. For the most part, all sites appear fairly level.
Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located.
Two bathroom areas also have showers and laundry facilities- one at the front of the park and one in the rear. The pool area and playground are located at the front of the park.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, Cable, and OTA: there is Wi-Fi in the park, but the park info sheet that they provide you with notes that the Wi-Fi is spotty. We were able to get AT&T 5G with 4 bars. AT&T achieved 418 Mbps down and 21 Mbps up. Satellite reception should not be an issue at most sites, and if you do need clear access for satellite reception, there are plenty of sites available with no trees. There are plenty of OTA stations available, and they all had great reception with clear HD pictures. Cable was not available.
Dog Park: They have two nice fenced-in parks that are in great condition. The one in the front of the park is divided for big and small dogs, while the one in the back is larger but not divided. They both have benches, which are all in good shape. They also provide doggie bags and a trash can. NOTE: I've included a photo of the sign posted at the entrances to the park indicating that they might be shut down. So if having a fenced dog park is mission-critical for your stay, you might want to verify that they are still open when you make your reservation
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website, and you are only a few miles from Fayetteville, where you can find plenty of stores and restaurants. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. Although the park is starting to show its age, it still deserves a high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy your stay!

Roaring River State Park Campground
Very nice
Large spots in Campground 1 with a lot of shade. Campground 2 and 3 are a little closer together. Very clean and quiet. Showers could use a little up dating. It has hiking trails and roads to bike on. Plus the huge spring that creates the Roaring River and a large fish hatchery. Fish for trout.

Great Place to Stay!
Excellent Campground! I haven’t stayed at many in Eureka Springs but I can’t imagine it gets better than this one. Plenty of room for the big big rigs, super clean bathrooms, clean pool, excellent WiFi, new laundry equipment, it was just an amazingly clean and friendly place. I’ll be back soon to run the motorcycle trails.
Guide to Johnson
Cabin rentals near Johnson, Arkansas range from rustic to modern with varying proximity to water features and hiking trails. Most rental cabins are found within established state parks and private resorts within a 30-mile radius of Johnson. The majority require advance reservations with peak season bookings filling months ahead, especially for weekend stays at popular destinations like Devil's Den State Park.
What to do
Hiking trails: Devil's Den State Park Campground offers multiple trail systems with varying difficulty levels. "My favorite camping spot yet. Aside from the extreme humidity this was a great family getaway. Pool, great trails, and the creek/river kept my kids entertained and worn out!" notes Melissa M. about the Devil's Den State Park Campground.
Mountain biking access: Blowing Springs RV Park & Campsites provides direct trail access for cyclists staying in their cabin accommodations. According to Savannah T., "Such easy access to the Back 40 and Slaughter Pen mountain bike trails! We get on our bikes and ride all day and then come back and enjoy the peaceful campground!" The Blowing Springs RV Park & Campsites features cabin options with proximity to extensive trail networks.
Fishing opportunities: Prairie Creek campground on Beaver Lake provides fishing access with cabin stays. As Carl B. explains, "Beautiful setting on the shores of Beaver Lake, just 10 miles outside Rogers AR. Nice amenities, modern campsites, well maintained and staffed." The Prairie Creek campground offers water activities with convenient access to Rogers for supplies.
What campers like
Waterfront views: Rocky Branch Campground cabins provide lake access with scenic settings. "The views are pretty special," notes John F. about the Rocky Branch Campground, adding that "The lower sites are waterfront but lack water and septic at the sites."
Privacy between units: At Natural Falls State Park Campground, cabins and yurts offer more secluded options. Amanda C. explains, "The tent loop seemed a little busier. The shower house is right next to the RV loop and a bit of a walk from the tents. Conveniently located near a large town in Arkansas for supplies and good cell signal."
Unique accommodation styles: Lake Wedington offers historic cabin rentals with character. Annie C. shared, "I didn't drive over to check out the cabins, but I understand that you can rent a historical cabin if tent camping isn't your thing" at Lake Wedington.
What you should know
Seasonal availability: Many cabin facilities close temporarily for maintenance or weather issues. Jo from Devil's Den warns, "Campground is currently (April 7) closed for maintenance and flooding. Call before you go!"
Variable amenity standards: Cabins at Roaring River State Park Campground have different comfort levels by loop. Wendy M. explains, "Roaring river has three different campgrounds. I prefer ground one and two...however the downside is the spots are not very spacious / far apart from those camping next to you." The Roaring River State Park Campground is upgrading facilities but completion dates fluctuate.
Cell service limitations: Most cabin sites have limited connectivity. Gary P. reports, "New this year is free wifi, although spotty and very slow during busy hours. Verizon cell is ok, ATT non existent."
Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Several parks offer swimming areas near cabins for family cooling off. Donna H. recommends, "Small clean lake with lots of wildlife and close to Fayetteville. Kayak, canoe, and fishing, with bird watching, RV and tent camping, and day use areas among the trees! Some handicap accessible areas."
Educational attractions: Natural Falls State Park Campground offers learning opportunities with cabin stays. Cheryl T. shares, "When traveling through Oklahoma, Natural Falls is a great place to camp. It's on border of Arkansas and Oklahoma, near Siloam Springs. It's peaceful. You can take your wheelchair on some of the trails and look at the Falls." The Natural Falls State Park Campground accommodates families with accessibility needs.
Playground access: Multiple cabin locations feature play equipment. Kristi A. notes, "Spacious sites surrounded by tall oaks & plenty of wildlife. Each site comes with a picnic table, fire pit, stove table & lantern hook. Large variety of sites, including multi-family sites. Lake access and beach and swimming area."
Tips from RVers
Cabin alternatives: If traveling with an RV but seeking cabin experience, consider parks with both options. Beth M. describes, "The park is very clean and well kept. There are 18 campsites and 2 bathhouses in the campground. Nice hiking trails and very clear lake with excellent fishing."
Leveling challenges: Many cabin and RV sites require leveling equipment. Roger H. reports, "I never was able to get our TT level at site 92. Over 8" difference from side to side. That said, we enjoyed our time here a lot."
Shower facility distances: At several parks, shower buildings may be far from cabin areas. Cliff J. mentions, "Showers could use some work 15sec water timer makes for a frustrating shower after a day of MTBing."
