    Albert Pike Recreation Area provides free primitive camping access while allowing pets throughout its trail system. Nearby Long Creek Campsite along the Eagle Rock Loop trail offers dispersed pet-friendly camping spots in the Ouachita National Forest. Pets must remain on leash at all developed areas, with most campers reporting ample space for dogs to explore alongside the Little Missouri River. Numerous campgrounds around Langley maintain pet-friendly policies, including Kirby Landing which offers electric and water hookups for RV campers with pets. Bathroom facilities vary significantly between locations, with some primitive sites having no facilities while established campgrounds provide toilets and occasional showers. The terrain provides natural exploration opportunities for pets with responsible owners.

    The 28-30 mile Eagle Rock Loop trail system offers excellent hiking with dogs, featuring multiple water crossings and primitive camping spots where pets can cool off in clear streams. Several campsites positioned along creeks provide ideal access for dogs that enjoy swimming, though owners should be cautious during periods of potential flooding as the area has experienced dangerous flash floods in the past. Hikers with pets should prepare for ticks and insects by treating gear and clothing with appropriate repellents. The small town of Langley has a convenience store/gas station for basic supplies, while De Queen offers more comprehensive services including veterinary care about 30 minutes away. Primitive campsites require visitors to pack out all pet waste and practice strict Leave No Trace principles with pets.

      Catherine's Landing

      Very Nice, Lots of Amenities

      Catherine’s Landing is a great RV park with lots of amenities and things happening. This park is an RVC Outdoor Destination property which is known for their “resort” amenities. The park is set on 400 acres with one mile bordering Lake Catherine and about eight or nine miles from downtown Hot Springs. 

      All roads, sites and patios are paved and this is definitely a big rig-friendly park. Every site has water, 50/30 amp, sewer, cable, and wifi. Fire pits and picnic tables accompany all sites. There are a variety of sites ranging from waterfront back-in, pull-thrus, or interior back-in. Waterfront sites have a nice view of the lake from the back of the site and access for fishing. The park also has yurts and cottages (some of which are pet-friendly). Adjacent to the yurts is a nice, large covered picnic area with grills, a dish washing station. 

      Lots and lots of amenities here. Hiking trails, swimming pool, fitness center, lounge, playground, dog park, zip-line, boat rental, boat launch, store, and disc golf. Some amenities (boat rentals and zip-line) are an extra charge. 

      Hot Springs is a nice little town nestled in the Ouachita Mountains with interesting history and natural beauty. We found plenty to do from hiking the National Park to learning about the bathhouse history to discovering the gangster influence. We spent four nights and could have stayed longer with all that the town offers. Most people come here to bathe in the soothing warm mineral waters but there is also a horse racetrack, science museum, off road track, water/theme park, alligator farm, and a few museums. Hot Springs National Park has miles and miles of great hiking trails and a great place to spend an afternoon. The town of Hot Springs is very dog-friendly and we found many places that would allow them in and on the patio for lunch.

      Pros:

      • Very nice, clean, well-manicured
      • Lots of amenities
      •  Paved level sites with paved patios 
      • The dog park was a decent size for running and mingling with other dogs
      • The hiking trail(about 3 miles) was a big plus and got used a lot. 

      Cons:

      • Price. We booked late and didn’t have too many sites to choose from we had to pay for a waterfront site

      Catherine's Landing

      Great campground on Lake Catherine and close to Hot Springs

      Top notch RV campground that is well maintained and has a friendly professional staff. Lots of amenities like disc golf, hiking trails, pool, zip line course, lake access and two dog parks that were the cleanest I’ve seen at an rv park. We had site 204 which is a back in site with FHU on driver’s side. We loved this site because it was on the back side of the campground, near the dog park and lots of open space behind us to play with our dog. All of the sites are very spacious, concrete pads, well maintained hook ups, and most are full sun. This was our second visit and we will definitely be back.

      Hot Springs Arkansas Finish Line RV Park Walk to Oaklawn and Bathhouse Row

      Brand new RV campground in HotSprings

      Everything is awesome. Sites are in pristine condition. Managers are so friendly and helpful. Located in Hot Spring proper. Easy access to everything. The Dog Park, laundry facilities, and restrooms/showers are of course new and clean. Casino and Racetrack are right around the corner. Easy access to everything in HotSprings.

      Hot Springs National Park KOA

      Enjoyable maiden voyage

      I have little to go off of, but this is a very clean, safe feeling place. Close to the national park, friendly employees and guests, several mini trails and a dog park.

      J and J RV Park

      Very Nice, Quiet Place

      This park was very peaceful and quiet. You can hear the bullfrogs at night. JJ - the owner was the ice on the cake. Just such a nice fellow. There are several full timers there. It is right on a little creek, and there are turkeys somewhere nearby. The RV Park is very very close to Hot Springs National Park, and there is an amusement park right across the highway. The Wi-Fi is nonexistent. There is no dog park, but plenty of space to walk your fur children. We enjoyed the full hook ups. Nice big pull thru sites. There is a laundry room and bathrooms on the premises. I had an enjoyable experience, and would gladly stay there again if I am ever nearby.

      Treasure Isle R.V. Park

      Nice park

      Nice, quiet park. Laundry facilities nice and clean. Clean showers. Nice dog park. Management friendly. On lake, so some boat noise. The cons were poor local TV satellite

      service and no WiFi for monthly stays. Would stay here again.

      Royal Berry Farm

      Quiet, clean, solitary

      This was a great spot. The host responded quickly via email and we never saw another soul. The property is massive and you can let your pets off the leash. This was the first time we let our cats roam untethered and they loved it. Water and electricity provided, clear sky for starlink, and a fire pit. There were tons of flies though. No mosquitos that we could tell so thats a plus. Great quiet spot

      Catherine's Landing

      Relax in the clean air

      My husband and I camped 3 nights with the dogs an a travel trailer. The check in process was very easy and the facilities were immaculate. Concrete pads and sites were well kept. The yurts on property looked very big and clean so maybe we will do that next. The boat ramp and docks were safe for fishing. The dog park was small but sufficient for them to run a bit off the leash. Firewood was a bit pricey$$. Overall tho, super place.

    Guide to Langley

    Albert Pike Recreation Area accommodates pets throughout its hiking trails and day-use facilities. Several pet-friendly campsites exist nearby on the Eagle Rock Loop trail system, with primitive backcountry sites at Long Creek, Straight Creek, and Viles Branch allowing dogs to accompany hikers. The forest service has maintained these dispersed camping areas where pets can explore while remaining on leash. Many visitors note the area is perfect for primitive camping with dogs along the Little Missouri River and its tributaries. Although Albert Pike's developed campground remains closed for overnight stays due to historic flooding, pets are still welcome in the day-use picnic areas.

    Eagle Rock Loop offers some of the most pet-friendly hiking and primitive camping opportunities, with multiple creek-side campsites where dogs can cool off in clear water. Shady Lake Campground and Kirby Landing also welcome pets with designated pet exercise areas. Backpackers frequently bring dogs to the numerous creek crossings along the trails, where the water is described as clear blue and perfect for dogs to swim. Hikers should be prepared for multiple water crossings with their pets and should pack out all waste. During spring and summer, treating pet gear with tick prevention is essential as insects can be intense in this region. Many campsites feature enough cleared area for tents while maintaining tree cover for hammock camping with pets nearby.
