At Hot Springs National Park KOA, about an hour from Murfreesboro, basic one-room cabins feature double beds and bunk beds, heating and air conditioning, and cable television.

Miners Camping & Rock Shop maintains a small market for essential supplies.

    Hot Springs National Park KOA

    Pleasant

    Stayed 2 nights in a basic one room cabin. Had a double bed and bunk bed. Heat /air and cable tv. They advertise WiFi but we didn’t get good reception even though our cabin was very near the office/pool/bathroom. Clean and well kept. Porch swing, fire ring and water at the site. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Pool is small. Dog play area and kids playground. Good location for exploring hot springs area.

    Lake Ouachita State Park Campground

    One of the best in Arkansas

    Definitely my favorite park in Arkansas so far. It’s a really big park at the lake with lots to do. I was there in the fall so I didn’t do any lake stuff but still had a great time tent camping. There’s a nice hiking trail to explore. Also, the bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve ever seen at a state park. All the tent sites have a gravel pad, grill, picnic table and fire ring. There are also walk in tent sites on the peninsula which are nice and quiet. If you get one at the end I’d say it’s probably 200 meters to the parking lot and bathrooms. I peeked into one of the cabins and they look really nice. They also have camper cabins that have heat/air but no bathroom. In all there are 93 RV/tent sites, 8 cabins and 4 camper cabins. The park is also near Hot Springs so there is lots to do.

    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

    Lake Ouachita State Park Campground

    Glamping outside Hot Springs, Arkansas

    This is an absolutely beautiful state park 30 minutes Northwest of Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is massive with a Marina, multiple swimming beaches, RV and tent camping plus cabin rentals.

    We stayed in campground Area A, on a concrete pad with tons of space around the camper. Many RV sites overlook Lake Ouachita, though ours didn’t.

    If you are there over a weekend, I highly recommend taking the sunset tour by the park service at the marina. It is two hours, $10 per adult and stunning. With the recent heat wave it was also much cooler then the afternoon cruises.

    Hot Springs National Park KOA

    Nice Campground

    We stayed here only as an overnight on our trip cross-country trip, but overall nice campground. It is about 20 min off the main highway. Things close up early here and once off main highway there really is nothing as you drive to the park. Make sure you come in with all of your supplies otherwise you will be driving back out a ways for groceries, supplies, etc. Everyone there was very friendly- families, seniors, etc. We were late check-ins and they were extremely accommodating by placing our paperwork on the check-in board for us. Even in the dark our site was easy to find. They offer RV, cabin rentals, and tent sites. We tent camp and the pad was of good size with a fire ring, picnic table and pea gravel. Most all of the tent sites are located with tree shade above them (note: not enough trees that you could hang hammocks or tarps though). There is a small pond that looked as though they allow family fishing in. "Grandpa's Griddle" is a small kitchen on site that they offer home-cooked breakfast to be purchased from in the morning. Mostly simple items: biscuits & gravy, breakfast sandwiches, eggs & bacon, etc. The restrooms / showers were all very clean. We did not go in to the National Park, but it looked very pretty from what we could see. The view of the mountains in the morning was very pretty to wake up to.

    Pandemic note: Even though the pandemic was still going on (visited on 5/28/20-5/29/20), no one was really wearing masks here. We did since we were traveling but were the only ones I saw.

    The photos are of the pond and some of the super cute vintage RVs that we saw there.

    I would recommend staying here.

    Catherine's Landing

    Very Nice Campground

    Located on Lake Catherine in Hot Springs, AR. This privately owned campground has it all: level paved camping pads, 30/50 amp electrical hookups, sewer, cable, picnic tables, fire rings and grilling stations. Several sites are located right on the waterfront of Lake Catherine. They have some of the nicest showers/bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a park! Lake access, water toy rentals, swimming pool, and a zip line! Easy access to downtown Hot Springs. Not many mature trees and campsites are close, but large size to accommodate any sized rigs. We enjoyed our stay there.

    Arlie Moore - De Gray Lake

    Beautiful

    Stayed for a week at Arlie Moore Campground.  Easy access to this recreation area via I-30.  Sites well maintained. A picnic table and fire ring are provided, as well as a lantern post.  This rec area also has a boat launch.  We had great Verizon service with the use of a cellphone booster.  With out the booster service was fair depending where you are.  There are restrooms, showers, and water available.  It was very quiet here, and several nights you would hear the coyotes howling.  We will return!

    Hot Springs National Park KOA

    Clean with a dog park

    D26 Back-in full hook-ups, fire ring & picnic table. 2 nights - Memorial Day weekend. Good spot, close to bath rooms/shower house/cafe. Pretty level - just 1 leveling block was all we needed for our pop-up. Lots of amenities- cafe, fishing pond, small general store, playground and off leash dog area. Staff was very friendly. Escorted you to your spot and helped us back in. Shower house was always clean. Loved the dog park! We are just starting to travel with our 2 boxers and was so nice to have an area for them to run a bit. Cons - spots are very close, no privacy. Each spot has a very bright “porch” light that is on until Midnight


Guide to Murfreesboro

Cabin camping near Murfreesboro, Arkansas offers accommodations in the Ouachita Mountains region where elevations range from 600-2,300 feet. Most cabins sit on terrain characterized by pine-oak forests with underbrush consisting of dogwood, redbud, and wild azalea. The climate typically features mild winters with average January temperatures around 40°F and warm summers with July averages near 80°F.

What to do

Fishing access: Cabins at Caddo River Access RV Park provide convenient river activities. "Campsites are small and close together but very well kept. Grills, fire Rings, and picnic tables available. Nice shaded area for tent camping. They are very close to the outfitter drop spot. Right on the river," notes Suzsan M.

River float trips: Seasonal water activities near cabin accommodations typically run April through October. "The float is also so much fun and accessible for all ages! There's so much to see and the water actually moves instead of you having to paddle the whole way," writes Jessica D. about the Caddo River.

Golf proximity: Several cabin options provide access to nearby courses. When staying at DeGray Lake Resort State Park, Jason W. mentions, "There's a Diamond Trail golf course across the road as well. Great place with access to water sports and amenities."

What campers like

Lakefront settings: The cabin locations on local lakes provide direct water access. At Arlie Moore - De Gray Lake, Gary M. reports, "Camping is diverse enough to be in a the forest or on the lake. Water is warm and I swim less than 20 feet from my tent."

Wildlife viewing: The natural setting around cabins supports diverse wildlife observation opportunities. Tina B. writes about DeGray Lake, "Great place for photo enthusiast with Beautiful sunsets and an abundance of wildlife. The camping areas and restrooms/showers were very clean."

Shade coverage: Most cabin areas feature good tree coverage for summer heat management.

What you should know

Bathroom facilities: Cabin bathroom access varies significantly by property. A recent visitor to Miners Camping reports, "My first impressions of this site were terrible. The Bathrooms are extremely old and honestly seem like they're rotting down... Go a couple minutes down the road and use the state parks showerhouse."

Campsite layouts: Many properties feature cabins in close proximity to other sites. At Caddo River Access RV Park, Melissa B. observes, "If you are planning to kayak, canoe or tube, then you may not mind how busy the campgrounds are. The bath/showers are not terribly close, unless you're staying near the bunk houses."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Several properties offer dedicated facilities for children. P from Lake Ouachita State Park Campground shares, "They had cleaned all play areas and set up toys for young kids. We enjoyed paddle boating, horse back riding and disc golf."

Electrical service: Most cabins offer either 30 or 50-amp electrical service, though specifics vary by property. About Hot Springs National Park KOA, Scott notes it provides "Very nice place to stay if you want for hook. Easy access to Hot Springs."

Site leveling: Some cabins and RV sites require leveling adjustments. Don L. shares about Arlie Moore, "Nice campground on the north shore of DeGray Lake. Electricity only but water nearby. Clean bathhouses, swim beach and boat launch. Only complaint is sites aren't level. 33 was pretty steep for us!"

Laundry access: Limited laundry facilities exist in the area. Lori C. mentions Catherine's Landing has laundry services at reasonable prices: "at $1.50 per load the laundromat was one of the least expensive I've seen (and the dryers were great!)"
