      Dogwood Springs Campground

      Rustic

      Dogwood Springs in Jasper AR is definitely rustic and unpolished with regard to its setting.  RV sites do have full hook-ups although we had an issue with the sewer draining properly on site 31. With only one bath room each for men and women and one shower each as well, they do provide the basics. We had an opportunity to peek into a cabin and we were very impressed with the set up, having a full bath and mini-kitchen. It was well appointed and inviting.

      The lay-out of the campground is a bit odd in that some sites are only accessible by driving through another. 

      The view from site 31 included that of Round top mountain but also vacant, declining commercial buildings near the campground. 

      Proximity to stores and restaurants in Jasper was handy.

      Mount Magazine State Park Campground

      A must see!

      Awesome Small Campground! What a gem! Not a glamping campground, but beautiful peaceful change. Only 16 sites, with only 2, 50 amp sites. We were lucky enough to get one. Site is huge and private. Has fire pit with grill, separate bbq, siting area and great hook ups. Bear proof refuge container on site as well. Half off if disabled! Site 3 wasn't completely level, but quick fix. Sights and hiking were breathtaking. No laundry, cable or wifi, but restrooms and showers were clean. Cell service was spotty. Gorgeous lodge with great overlooks and restaurant close by. A diamond in the rough.

      White Rock Mountain Recreation Area

      GREAT EXPERIENCE!

      This campsite has some of the prettiest views in the Ozark national forest. We stayed in a basic tent site and had no issues. Nice fire pit/ pit toilet/ water pump access. There is a house where the campsite host family lives. They were amazing and helped up navigate the area and plan our adventures. They have trail maps and firewood for sale, and are always willing to help.

      The drive up to this campsite was a slight challenge. I would recommend an SUV or other tall vehicle with 4 wheel drive. The twisty, steep, narrow dirt road makes for quite an adventure. It has many large rocks in the road and the decently sized potholes. I scraped the bottom of my little car quite a bit on the way up.

      Mount Magazine State Park Campground

      Quiet, shady

      We stayed at an RV site at Cameron Campground, #2. Nice shady spot with a picnic table, grill and fire pit. Was also a space for a tent. The picnic table had a few steps up to it.

      This site is at the entrance, we might have preferred something at the back. Everyone coming in or out drove by our spot. But the neighbors were all very quiet.

      The bathhouse had two showers, several toilets.

      Several signs up say beware of bears, but we didn't see any.

      We saw LOTS of deer.

      Be prepared for a long winding road up the mountain. It's not overly steep, but it takes a while to get ANYWHERE in this part of Arkansas.

      Went to Cove Lake (11 miles away, about a 20 minute drive) to fish, but didn't stay long, and didn't catch anything. Cove lake has camping but no hookups.

      Mount Nebo State Park Campground

      Long, unobstructed views and refreshing breezes

      CAMPGROUND REVIEW:: Mount Nebo State Park, Arkansas https://www.arkansasstateparks.com/parks/mount-nebo-state-park

      Turning off I-40 at Exit 88, Mount Nebo is viewed less than 10 miles southwest…a stand-alone mountain.

      At the base of the climb, signs posted numerous times, “Crooked and Steep, no trailers over 24 ft”. I have driven up a lot of steep and twisty mountain roads, and these warnings are to be heeded. Grades are up to 18%.

      The State Park rests up its summit.constructed by the CCC, many of their stonework craftsmanship can be seen in the buildings and trail system.

      The “Rim Trail” is just that…a 3 1/2 mile trail running the top rim of the mountain, with long views. There are two distinct areas of the “Rim Trail” that can be driven to…to capture those special photos…Sunset Point and Sunrise Circle.

      Different sections of the Rim Trail range from easy to moderate to strenuous. They are marked. Bicycles are not permitted on the Rim Trail but are permitted on other trails as are horses. So know and exercise proper trail etiquette.

      There are bear in this area, and precautions are taken by the park. Park staff informed us of numerous venomous reptilian, too…so be aware on the trails, or if you choose to wander off them.

      A large rentable enclosed stone pavilion sits on the end of the mount, between Site 17 and the pool. Yes, a very nice pool (separate daily or annual fee). A standard picnic pavilion also sits out front of the larger stone pavilion beside public parking area.

      The beautiful Visitor Center is deeper into the park to the right. You can sit on its back porch and look out over the valley. There are numerous cabins that are available for rental…and appear very inviting.

      When you crest the top of the mountain, the camping area is directly to the right, as are the pavilions and pool. Cabins dot the summit, but private residences are interspersed among them. As mentioned, the Visitors Center is further up the road to the right…on the right.

      Being on an 1800 ft elevation summit, surrounded by valley…its quiet and enjoys a constant breeze. Enjoying blue skies, the shade trees are appreciated in the camping area.

      On a Wednesday, the 1st of August, we had our pick of beautiful and spacious sights. Very few campers on this day. So we chose site 17, directly on the Rim with unimpeded long views and unobstructed breezes. It was a toss-up between 16 and 17 …even 14 is directly on the Rim. $22 + tax a night.

      Each of these sites had separate electric, water spigot, fire pit, standing grill, picnic table and lantern post. Metal bear cabinets and resistant trash receptacles were clustered conveniently among the campsites. Though I was surprised they didn’t have timber outlined leveled tent areas. In fact, you need to be somewhat creative in locating a level tent spot.

      Restrooms are clean and stocked. The pool showerhouse has but one shower a piece for men and women. The entire park is well-maintained and clean.

      Overall, a very enjoyable and relaxing campground.

      Petit Jean State Park — Petit Jean State Park

      Phenomenal Vacation!

      We stayed a week at Petit Jean in one of their gorgeous cabins. It was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend. The check-in and check-out was easy. Finding the cabin was easy with the directions and map we were given. They were clearly marked, with parking for two vehicles, as they were setup like a duplex. The cabin was beautiful and clean, inside and out. There was a large, heavy, all wood porch swing on each side. Relaxing in it was a peaceful experience, listening to the sounds of birds and the breeze through the tall pines. Inside it was all beautifully stained wood and roomy enough for two people, much like a hotel room, except for the cathedral ceiling. In fact, the setup was better than most hotel rooms we have stayed in. There was a mini-fridge with a small freezer, microwave, coffee pot(with coffee, cups, creamer, sugar, etc,) a Keurig, blow-dryer, iron, ironing board, and broom. It had all the toiletries: soap, shampoo, conditioner, tissue, cups. The open closet had plenty of shelving and hangers for clothing and bags. The bathroom was standard with water that quickly got hot for your bath or shower. There were two full size beds with comfortable mattresses, plenty of pillows and warm bedding, with a nightstand between. There were plugs to charge your phone and a landline. There was also a fireplace, however it was locked closed. The air unit in the room had cooling/heating that was easy to operate and sufficiently cool. We were near the highway, close to the lodge, but did not hear traffic while in the cabin. Parking at Mather Lodge is just like any other, with a short, easy walk to the entrance. Once inside, you pass the check-in desk, a small, well-stocked gift shop,(with something for every age,) an open meeting area and bar before reaching the restaurant. It is beautifully constructed from large logs stained and polished to a gleaming shine. From floor to ceiling, it is the epitome of rugged elegance. We ate breakfast and dinner exclusively at the lodge. The food was exemplary, every meal, cooked to perfection and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and we were never rushed or made to feel as if we overstayed our welcome. The service was fast, even when every table was occupied. The servers were friendly and attentive. We had only one server, one time that was"less than," maybe she was new, not sure, but we did not see her again. Tommy, Thomas, Jessie, Brad, Rebekah, and Lindsay were all so pleasant, always greeting us, even when they weren't our servers, remembering us and making us feel like family. The view of the gorge with it's tall trees and towering rock formations was incredible! There was a common area behind the lodge, just outside the restaurant with tables, chairs and benches for observing the gorge, taking photos, relaxing and socializing. You could walk right down to the edge of the huge flat rocks for photos with a stunning background. We spent every evening there, watching the exquisite sunsets. This place is a nature lovers paradise. There is a pool surrounded by loungers behind and to the side of the lodge. It was clean and well-kept with a small waterfall at one end. Thick thirsty towels are provided for your convenience. The grounds are beautifully maintained. We never saw or heard a mower but the grass was cut to perfection and there wasn't a single piece of litter in the entire park. At check-in we were given a map, brochure and weekly schedule of events/tours at the park. The map was very necessary for navigating around this extensive park of which the lodge area was only a small part. The brochure described the hikes and other available activities(such as climbing and repelling) with descriptions of what could be observed, length and difficulty levels. Trust the brochure! If it says strenuous, it is. Plan accordingly. There were four ranger guided tours the week we were there. We took two of them. They were genuinely interesting and pleasurable. Baron, our ranger, was exceedingly knowledgeable about the geology, animal and plant life and history of the area. Exceptionally so, for someone who was seemingly so young. He was attentive to the needs of those attending the tours, stopping to rest if necessary and moving a bit slower for us older folks. He was so affable and easy to talk with, it seemed as if we were old friends. Willing to spend extra time after the tours, talking with us, was an indication of how much he enjoyed his job. We were very appreciative of someone of his character and enjoyed spending time with him. He is the perfect model of what one would think a park ranger is and should be! Any hike can be taken unguided and there are plenty of them. In fact, we had plans to go outside the park on other hikes, but never made it off the property for those. We actually did not have enough time to do all we wanted to do within the park. If you are looking for a phenomenal vacation, this is the trip you should take!

      Cove Lake Complex

      Back up campground to Mount Magazine

      Located at the base drive up to Mount Magazine this is a good back up to the state park campground. It is a typical Arkansas campground but it does have decent bathrooms where you're not afraid to step into and has a camp host. It is based on a "lake" so beware of mosquitoes in the summer. We use it as a base to hike up to Mount Magazine as the trail crosses the road and heads up to the top of Mount Magazine state park. The trail is out of the ordinary for the region and takes you have some washouts and up the mountain. If it has been raining, beware and check your weather.

    Guide to Ozone

    Situated at an elevation of approximately 1,900 feet in the Boston Mountains region of the Ozarks, the area around Ozone, Arkansas offers camping experiences ranging from rustic tent sites to upscale glamping facilities. The region's topography features numerous hiking trails crossing rugged terrain with significant elevation changes. Winter temperatures can drop into the teens at higher elevations, making seasonal planning essential for comfort.

    What to do

    Off-road adventures: Access trails directly from Mulberry Mountain Lodging & Events where the terrain provides challenges for all skill levels. "This area is great for getaways, off-roading, or overlanding with lots of trails to explore," notes one visitor. Trails connect to additional routes in the Ozark National Forest.

    Rock climbing: Visit Horseshoe Canyon Ranch for sandstone climbing opportunities. "Horseshoe canyon is one of the biggest climbing and bouldering locations in the southeast area," explains Luke O. The ranch offers routes for both beginners and experienced climbers with "well maintained and the sandstone rock is grippy and clean."

    Hiking: The trails at White Rock Mountain Recreation Area include the Rim Trail with views across the valley. "The views are exquisite... The hiking trails are for everyone," shares Shelia H. The final hour of the drive is slow, covering just 20 miles, but the destination rewards with panoramic vistas.

    What campers like

    Mountain views: The elevated camping at Mount Nebo provides unobstructed vistas. "Sites on the bluff looked beautiful" according to Jackie F., who recommends "calling ahead and seeing if you can get the site on the Bluff." The mountaintop location creates natural air conditioning with constant breezes.

    Waterside camping: Cove Lake Complex offers sites with lake views and water activities. "Nice quiet campground with a nice lake... We were able to listen to a Barred Owl before going to sleep," reports Greg D. The campground provides boat rentals and fishing opportunities directly on-site.

    Secluded spaces: Many campgrounds provide spacing for privacy between sites. At Lake Fort Smith, "Sites have gravel which limits how much dirt/mud you have to deal with," and campsites are "spread out for privacy." Ryan S. notes that "Sites 1-20 have full hook-ups with sewer" for those seeking complete amenities.

    What you should know

    Limited cell service: Connectivity is unreliable throughout much of the region. Amy & Stu B. report "No ATT or Verizon service there or in the general area" while camping at Macks Pines. Download offline maps before arrival.

    Remote location: Supplies are limited in the immediate area. "Dry county with very few places to buy any food or groceries outside of an hour drive," according to a Macks Pines review. Stock up on necessities before arrival.

    Weather considerations: Temperature variations can be significant. Donny S. warns, "the temperature is literally about 10-15 degrees cooler on the mountain than below. One night we were there it got down to mid teens." Pack layers even during warmer seasons.

    Road conditions: Many access roads require careful driving. White Rock Mountain visitors note the "unpaved road that in some spots is maybe wide enough for 2 small vehicles to pass each other" and recommend vehicles with adequate clearance.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly sites: Choose campgrounds with level sites and amenities. Petit Jean State Park offers "a pool, basketball and tennis courts. Marina with boats and kayaks," as Ryan S. describes. "This is a wonderful park and a must for all campers!"

    Safety considerations: Some campsites have terrain challenges. At Lake Fort Smith, Ryan S. cautions that "Many of the campsites are on a grade. They all have multiple levels with stairs and have no railings... If you are a parent with small kids, sites 17-20 and sites 2-3 are better."

    Wildlife encounters: Prepare children for animal sightings. At Mount Nebo, "There is a pack of dogs that came through at night. So be sure to put up your trash and food at night. Especially since bears could be around," reports Jackie F.

    Weather preparedness: Pack for temperature fluctuations. Elevation changes mean temperatures can vary significantly from daytime to nighttime, requiring appropriate clothing and sleeping gear.

    Tips from RVers

    Access limitations: Check road grades and restrictions before arrival. The Mount Magazine State Park approach road is manageable but requires caution. Gary F. notes the campground has "18 RV campsites of varying length, all with water and most have sewer. Two have 50 amp service with the rest having 30."

    Site selection: Reserve well in advance for premium spots. At Mount Magazine State Park Campground, "All of the campsites have a large level tent pad, table, fire ring, and plenty of shade," providing comfortable amenities for longer stays.

    Level sites: Ask about specific site grades when booking. Some sites require significant leveling equipment. For Lake Fort Smith, one reviewer recommends "site #11 as the most level pull-through site, although there's not a bad site in the park."

    Hookup availability: Full hookup sites are limited and in high demand. For glamping close to Ozone, Arkansas, premium sites with complete amenities book quickly, especially during peak seasons when luxury camping options fill months in advance.
