ScoutI have been camping out here for years but never took advantage of the A side. A12-14 are premian spots to camp. I tent camp and the view is amazing. It’s in between the Arkansas river and Massard creek. You can launch a boat or you can go kayaking in Massard creek. There’s Cat fish, Perch and, Bass.
ScoutThis is more of a month to month rental place than it is for overnight stays and stops. The Wi-Fi is horrible here You cannot watch videos or anything like that on it. They charge you over the electrical limit but we used electricity all the time and never went over it. They have big pull through sides they have big park sides the picnic tables and some pretty good amenities there. But they didn't give you a deposit back. They're really bad about that. They stiff me on a $1,000 deposit even though I had a month to month rental. It was paid over that month and left two weeks early. Said that I had broke my lease. Laundry room is decent priced. Showers are great They only have hot water for about 15 minutes. It's in Sonora which is outside of Springdale, but convenient to Fayetteville.
ScoutGPS brought us directly to the site. The gravel road has some ruuts but it you take your time small SVUs can make it fine. Beautiful over look and clean campsite. Spy rock is gorgeous, the trail is a little rough but totally worth it. Trail head is on the right about a mile past camp.
RangerRight off the highway, this is a clean and convenient spot to camp.
RangerStayed here for a four wheeling trip. Was a decent location - sites were mostly dirt/gravel.
ScoutSounds like a proper escape! I appreciate the clean facilities, gotta rinse off that'trail dust' after a day exploring. Just crossing my fingers that paid Wi-Fi isn't*too* steep if I get the urge for a little post-hike Watermelon Game... for research purposes, obviously.
ScoutMy wife and I camped here and road our dirt bikes out the next morning. You can drive right up to your campsite, this is on private property. There are several tent spots and also 3 cabins, small medium and large. There is a big hangout spot with a big fire place and chairs already set up, it also has 2 big overhead lights so you’re not completely in the dark. They also have a restroom available for anyone with showers! Everything was very neat inside and out! The owners of the place are absolutely great!! The Buckhorn trails run right through there property. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS CAMPSITE!!!
GuideNo toilets/showers/dumpsters/ trash cans.
Various camp sites along a dirt road, that my AWD Equinox made it fine. Just go slow, as there are some ruts from previous rains.
There are various outfitters along the way to the dirt road. So you don’t have to go too far if you forgot something.
The camp I’m at has the land cleared fairly well of grasses and such.
The others further down the road are for one vehicle type camps with longer grass.
There are walking trails, with Spy Rock a short distance away.
TravelerAux Arc Park is a beautiful little campground with large sites on the water. Just here overnight, so no time to explore but will be back
