Best RV Parks & Resorts near Shirley, AR
Golden Pond RV Park in Shirley provides full hookups with 50-amp electrical service and accommodates big rigs on open sites with no shade trees. Most RV parks in the region operate year-round, including Fairfield Bay RV Campground & Marina, which offers waterfront views but lacks sewer hookups. "Our site had the back of our trailer overlooking the lake. That was okay, we just set up our chairs behind the trailer for an enjoyable view. But the truck was at such an angle because the sites are level but on a steep slope," reported one camper at Fairfield Bay. Mountain View, approximately 30 minutes north, contains several RV-friendly options including Whitewater RV Park with concrete pads and Ozark RV Park, both within walking distance of the town square.
Several RV parks in this area of the Ozarks feature full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, though elevation changes can create leveling challenges. A review mentioned needing "extra chuck blocks because your tow vehicle sits on a heck of an angle" at lakeside sites. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with T-Mobile coverage particularly weak around Mountain View. Dump stations are available at most parks, though Fairfield Bay's is located about half a mile from the camping area. Pet policies are generally accommodating, with most parks allowing leashed dogs. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and fall foliage season when the combination of lake activities and mountain music festivals draws significant RV traffic to these relatively small parks.
