Best RV Parks & Resorts near Salem, AR

321 Reviews

Several RV parks near Salem, Arkansas provide full hookup services, including Salem RV Park with electric, water, and sewer connections alongside picnic tables and fire rings. Crown Lake RV Resort offers similar amenities with access for various-sized rigs, while Riverview Cabins and Campground features 18 sites with 20/30/50 amp service options. Hand Cove Resort RV Park provides lakeside sites with thirty-amp hookups and sewer connections, though some travelers note the sites can present leveling challenges. "I had to use 6x6 blocks of wood from the caretaker's wood pile as a foundation to jack the front end of my class C motorhome up. The front wheels were 6 inches off the ground with the jacks fully extended and we barely made level!"

Throughout the region, RV site surfaces vary from gravel to concrete pads, with some parks featuring crumbling concrete that may require additional leveling equipment. Many parks maintain good WiFi connections and cable TV access, often available for an additional daily fee. Access roads to some campgrounds include steep grades or low-water crossings that larger rigs should approach with caution. Seasonal availability differs between parks, with Whitewater RV Park operating from mid-March through early November. Dump stations are available at several locations including Classic RV Park and Denton Ferry RV Park, which provides 44 pull-through rv pads suitable for big rig spots. Verizon service is generally strong throughout the area, making remote work possible from most campgrounds.

    Whitewater RV Park

    No frills Downhome

    Mountain View is a great small town in the Arkansas Ozarks. This is not the place to come if you have to be entertained but can make your own fun or settle back and relax. Whitewater RV Park sounds exciting, high speed but no. Time to kickback, read a book, head to the square and listen to the ozark mountain music they are famous for. You can find all kinds of things to do and a place to stay is at Whitewater RV Park on a quiet town street not that far off from the court square. Free WiFi and if you pay extra you can get high speed wireless. Cable tv, pull through sites, dump station, full hook ups, laundry, shower house, flush toilets. This park has mature trees with lots of shade. It is located walking distance from the courthouse which is in the middle of the square. Granted it is UP the hill but it makes for a nice walk. In the square during the season you will often find locals and visitors picking and singing. It is a treat and free for the enjoyment. Mountain View also has one of the few remaining Drive In movie theaters. Check this place out for the weekly and monthly rates. Stay six nights and get seventh one free. For a small town Mountain View has so much to offer it’s guests. It brings our minds to days gone be. Weekends will find pickers on the square or concerts at Ozark Folk Center. Few campgrounds have pools but you can find a creek to dip your toes in. You have your choice of stand up paddle board canoe kayak Loco Ropes mountain biking hiking antiquing movie’s trail rides fishing I think you have the idea. MOVIES. Mountain View has a movie theater and one of the few drive in theaters left in th USA. Both offer first run movies.
    Have fun. Leave No Trace. Better than you found it.

    Blue Sky RV Park

    Great Spot

    This place is so much bigger than it looks. Great pull through sites. Great sites for family camping. It is located not far from town on a busy highway Highway 5 but once you pull off the road you would never know. Very shaded and mature trees. Owner has tried to think of everything but you will not find a swimming pool There are several outside family games and the local area is Loaded with fun things to do. Blue Sky even has event space that you can rent if you are staying in the park. 30 and 50 amp service cable TV available, free WiFi high speed with additional charge. Weekly and monthly rates available and check out the seventh night free. White River is not far, bring a boat or rent one. Trout fishing is great. Your options are open in this small community.  Get ready because Arkansas has ticks, chiggers, and humidity.
    Far a small town Mountain View has so much to offer it’s guest. It brings our minds to days gone by. Weekends will find pickers on the square and concerts at the Ozark Folk Center.

I think that gives you ideas. Mountain View has a movie theatre and one of the last remaining drive in theaters left in the USA. You will find first run movies at both.

    Mountain View RV Park and Guest Motel

    Good Things Come In Small Packages

    I have driven by this campground numerous times not paying a lot of attention. Today I paid attention and realized I have made a mistake. There is a high fence that assist in keep this corner of Mountain View private. An oasis for anyone that wishes to venture in. A traveler will find a welcome smile and an amazing view. They will also find a well maintained campground and a motel. The campground offers concrete pads or gravel, 30 and 50 amp service, full hook ups, cable tv, wi-fi, high speed for extra fee, coin operated laundry, community fire pit with wood provided, dog friendly, showers and toilets and more. The motel offers all the amenities you would expect to find in a branded hotel/motel. There are eight motel rooms and two cabins available for rent. Both the campground and motel have access to two recreation rooms. Both have full kitchens, tv, stereo, dining tables and chairs. One recreation room has limited exercise equipment. There is 1.5 acres of green space that is also available for all guest. The view from the green space is worth dreaming over that morning cup of coffee. There are things you will not find in many campgrounds in Mountain View. Much of the entertainment in this area will be of a natural source. Weekends will find pickers on the square or concerts at the Ozark Folk Center. If you want to take a dip look to the creeks or the river. Stand up paddle boarding, canoe, kayak, Loco Ropes, mountain bike trails, hiking, antiquing, trail rides, fishing and I’m sure you get the idea. Movies. There is a movie theatre and the cherry on top is a drive in movie. Mountain View Drive In is one of only a few left in the US. You will find first run movies at both.

    Road Runner RV Park

    Nicely spaced and clean campground

    We stayed at this campground 1 night on our way between COVID-19 quarantine locations.  We found the park easy to navigate (no tight turns).  Large semi paved spaces (I say semi paved because the concrete pads were crumbling at least in our spot).  Good separation between sites with picnic tables, no shade but they do have a dog park.  Hookups were easy to reach and appeared to be in good repair.  Decent water pressure.  Many of the spaces were permanent campers or long term workers but it felt safe and appeared well maintained.

    Dam - Quarry

    Clean campground, nice location

    Average space between sites. Level paved sites with gravel picnic area including picnic table, fire ring, lantern hanger. Some sites had covered picnic area. Limited shade, most sites don’t have trees. Good access to sites. Clean and private bathrooms. Each room had its own lockable bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Garbage cans were outside of bathrooms, as well as dumpsters near the registration building. Friendly staff upon check in. Campground was patrolled regularly. No laundry or recycling. Nearby road with little road noise. Verizon cell signal was excellent. There is a dump station and potable fill station. No store or food for purchase on site. No hiking in campground, but multiple trails nearby. Boat ramp at campground and lots of wading fly fishing in river. Fish hatchery across from campground.

    Sylamore Creek Camp

    Great site!

    We love this campground. We love having direct access to creek. It is kayak, family, pet friendly. The only thing it is lacking is internet connection, which for us is a plus for disconnecting. All sites are reasonably level. Site F is the premium and most secluded full hook up site. They have all levels of sites: primitive, water and electric, or full. Their small store has firewood and many other convenient items for sale. We take our own kayaks, but they do have rentals. They have public showers and restrooms, but the restrooms are currently closed due to renovations. It’s really one of our favorite local sites to camp.

    Blue Heron Campground

    Some nice amenities, some lacking.

    My wife and I camped here for four nights. Overall it was nice, but there were some things that I wish we knew. The location is great in the sense that it’s easy to get to and it’s laid out well. Unfortunately, it’s directly under an overpass and it is loud- loud enough that I used ear plugs at night.

    It’s located on the White river and has a very nice gravel boat ramp, which is a big positive. It also has fishing access during low water.

    The WiFi is excellent and the staff are super helpful and friendly.

    The biggest plus for us is the bathrooms were among the best that we have found. They’re clean and fairly new.

    There is plenty of property to walk and they were very pet friendly. It looks like many of the guests are long term residents.

    Lakeview - Bull Shoals Lake

    Wonderful camping

    Great site to camp. Concrete pads and asphalt driveway. Good road around campsites. Pads are very level. Sites have a lot of space between them with many Oak shade trees. Covered picnic table. The table was newer aluminum and clean. Camping at it’s best. Good water and electric hook up. Dump station has two stalls and is in great shape.

Quiet atmosphere: RV parks in the region maintain peaceful environments even during busy seasons. "We came for Memorial weekend! It was clean, not noisy at night, great wifi, city park near by to walk you dog," reports a visitor at Whitewater RV Park.
