SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds around Combs, Arkansas range from established sites with full amenities to dispersed areas in the Ozark National Forest. Serenity Campground, located directly in Combs, provides tent and RV camping along with cabin options and modern facilities including electric hookups, showers, and water. The surrounding area features additional options like Mulberry Mountain Lodging & Events in Ozark and White Rock Mountain Recreation Area near Winslow, both offering various accommodation types including tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, and glamping opportunities. Combs camping options are easily searchable through The Dyrt's comprehensive listings of local campgrounds.
The Ozark Mountain region experiences all four seasons, with summer temperatures typically warm and humid while winter can bring occasional snow and freezing conditions. Most established campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, though some facilities may be limited during winter months. According to one visitor at White Rock Mountain, "When we arrived at 10:00 PM, the full moonlight guided us as we set up camp, later able to watch the stars through our open tent (which was much needed during this hot Arkansas summer)." Road conditions vary throughout the region, with campgrounds like Morgan Mtn Rd/Spy Rock Dispersed requiring more careful navigation than the paved access routes to developed sites. Cell service can be spotty, particularly in mountainous areas and ravines, with several reviews noting limited connectivity at certain campgrounds.
Campers consistently highlight the natural beauty of the Ozark landscape as a major draw. Water features prominently in many camping experiences, with sites available along the Mulberry River, White River, and Beaver Lake providing opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and swimming. A review of Devil's Den State Park noted that "the trails are great and our campsite had a path right down to the river." Privacy and shade are mentioned frequently in positive reviews, with many campgrounds offering wooded sites that provide natural separation between camping areas. Wildlife sightings are common, with deer frequently spotted in campgrounds throughout the region. Visitors seeking solitude can find more secluded options in the national forest dispersed sites, while those wanting more amenities can choose from several developed campgrounds with electric hookups, shower facilities, and even swimming pools during summer months.

New, clean RV park
New park with young trees (so not much shade yet), pond for fishing and a walking trail around it. Large clubhouse is where the bathhouses are with four individual bathrooms with showers, laundry facility, propane for sale and a nice pool.

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!

A Hidden Gem
We needed an overnight spot on our way from Oklahoma to NW Arkansas, and I'm glad that we picked this park. It's located right next to the Arkansas River with a nice concrete walking trail along the river. 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 fairly easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's not too far from the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all- very peaceful. However, you will hear occasional train horns from the crossing a few miles away. You'll only hear them when outside your RV, never inside.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number 44. All the sites are concrete and appear fairly level. Our site was level side to side, and 5 inches from front to rear. There are no shade trees for the majority of the park sites. 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. There is also a picnic table located at each site.
Bathrooms, Showers, and the pool are all located near the registration office building and are in great shape. There are no trash cans by the sites- just a dumpster area near the dog park and playground. However, they do come by your site each morning to pick up any trash that you've set out.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, OTA: there is decent Wi-Fi in the park with repeater towers spaced approximately every four sites, so each site has a fairly strong signal- we achieved 9.52 Mbps down and 2.02 Mbps up. We got AT&T 5G with 4 bars and achieved 512 Mbps down and 32 Mbps up. If you need clear access for satellite reception, trees will not be an issue. Also, you can pick up plenty of OTA stations with good HD quality reception.
Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is in great condition and is well lit at night. They provide doggie bags and a trash can, both in the dog park and along the walking paths.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website.
Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. The park is only a couple of years old and is very well maintained. Only about 15-20 percent of the spaces were occupied. Note that sites 100- 115 are along the river. There is a concrete public walking path along the river, but those sites are elevated above the path, with a grass and tree buffer zone between them. There are a couple of covered pavilions in the park with built-in gas grills and comfortable seating areas. The park map provides a very accurate rendition of the park. See my attached photos for more details.
This park deserves its high rating, and I do not hesitate to recommend it - enjoy your stay!

Really popular spot
We spent one night here. It was a little bit of trouble to get to, as I'm not a fan of driving in the mountains. It had a nice fire ring and a picnic table. There are 2 vault toilets here, not the worst we've seen. They did have toilet paper. Super cute but very shallow swimming hole, maybe 3 ft deep? Very popular too. Seemed every site was full when we pulled through to check it out, so we picked the only open spot, #1. But when we left at 10 am, only one other campsite was occupied so I think they were just daytime guests. We walked downstream a lot looking at small fish in the little pools and we "swam" in the swimming hole, it was nice bc it was hot. Beautiful scenery. No service for my phone.

Very flea infested when we went. Water was really low and kinda hot. But the camp ground was pretty and well maintained.

Golf Course Stay near Fayetteville
We had a wonderful time! The sites were not very big, but it’s a great spot if you like to golf and don’t need/want much room! Staff was very friendly and the restaurant was a great spot with reasonable prices! Nice view of the pond and discounted golf with stay! Would definitely come back!

Beautiful views
Steep and fun drive to get to this campground. Sites are big and spaces are wide creating a very nice experience. Short hike from the campground is the overlook road and the views are incredible!
Guide to Combs
Camping options near Combs, Arkansas include both established campgrounds and dispersed sites within the Boston Mountains section of the Ozarks. The region sits at elevations between 1,500 and 2,500 feet, creating distinct microclimates that can be significantly cooler than surrounding lowlands during summer months. Most camping areas in this region remain accessible year-round, though some forest roads leading to dispersed sites require high-clearance vehicles after heavy rainfall.
What to do
Float the Mulberry River: Access points near Mulberry River Outdoor Adventures offer opportunities for kayaking and tubing during spring and summer months. "Right off I40, on the Mulberry River, very friendly staff, you can Tube, float, kuyak, or just swim and relax. They have access to the national forest, and atv there also," notes Rick N.
Explore caves and trails: The limestone geology around Combs creates interesting cave formations and waterfall hikes. "4 days of camping with the guys, exploring caves and trails, and overall having a blast!" shared Brian E. about his experience at Devil's Den State Park Campground.
Hike the Rim Trail: The panoramic views from White Rock Mountain provide some of the best vistas in the Ozarks. "The Rim Trail is worth doing any time of day and any season," according to Matt B., who camped at White Rock Mountain Recreation Area.
What campers like
Night sky viewing: The limited light pollution around campgrounds near Combs makes stargazing exceptional. "Every star is visible. All of them," reports Steve J. about his stay at White Rock Mountain Recreation Area. "Saw more stars than I have seen, ever," adds Lacey T. about Riverfield Acreage.
Clean facilities: Many established campgrounds maintain high-quality restrooms and showers. "The bathrooms and showers were super nice and perfectly clean. They even have a washer and dryer that campers can use," notes Daniel D. about Serenity Campground in Combs.
Swimming holes: Natural water features provide cooling options during hot summer days. "The mulberry river is a ridden gem the runs through the Ozarks. It's just a quiet beautiful place to camp, ride ATVs, float the river or just hangout with friends and families," says Ty F. about Mulberry River Outdoor Adventures.
What you should know
Road conditions: Forest service roads can be challenging, especially after rain. "It's a slow, beautiful drive. The reviews are correct that the last hour of the drive is only 20 miles. Make sure to stop for gas! It is an unpaved road that in some spots is maybe wide enough for 2 small vehicles to pass each other," explains Erin-Frannie R. about driving to White Rock Mountain.
Wildlife awareness: Bears are present in the Ozark National Forest. "There are a lot of signs to beware of Black Bears which keeps anyone on edge, but the landscape is gorgeous and relaxing. For the record we didn't see any bears," notes Matt S. from his experience at White Rock Mountain.
Insects and pests: Depending on season, various insects can impact camping comfort. "One warning on the cabins though - in summer be prepared for some bugs. It's not that they're dirty, it's just that they're old buildings which aren't used every day surrounded by forest. Naturally, you get spiders, rodents, etc.," advises Matt B. about cabins at White Rock Mountain.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities: During summer months, swimming options help keep children entertained. "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!" shares Melissa M. about Devil's Den State Park.
Playground access: Some campgrounds offer playground facilities for children. "They have a playground for kids and several cabins as well," notes Daniel D. about Serenity Campground in Combs.
Site selection: Choose campsites with natural features kids can explore. "Kids loved having the rock bed and river right beside us. Perfect float trip back to our camp ground (free of charge to have them drop us off at a put in location," reports Lacey T. about Riverfield Acreage.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring equipment adjustments. "If you want the best experience - grab one of the sites along the ridge (83, 85, 87) - these have a great view off the back and offer incredible space," advises Gonzo A. about Devil's Den State Park.
Hookup availability: Full-service sites are limited but available at select locations. "If you need sewer service, I would recommend site #11 as the most level pull-through site, although there's not a bad site in the park," suggests Donna H. about Lake Fort Smith State Park Campground.
Access roads: Larger rigs require careful planning when accessing some campgrounds. "Many of the campsites are on a grade. They all have multiple levels with stairs and have no railings," notes Ryan S. about Lake Fort Smith State Park Campground, adding that certain sites (17-20 and 2-3) work better for families with small children.
