Best RV Parks & Resorts near St. Paul, AR

Several RV parks and resorts are located near St. Paul, Arkansas. Wanderlust RV Park in Eureka Springs offers 91 sites with full hookups including 30/50 amp electric service, operating from March through mid-November. Blowing Springs RV Park provides year-round camping with electric hookups, water, and sewer connections for motorhomes. "Spacious level sites on concrete pads," noted one reviewer about nearby Corps of Engineers campgrounds, though several mentioned needing blocks to level their rigs at other locations. Kingston Trails RV Park features 10 sites with 30/50 amp electric and water hookups but no sewer connections, while Turner Bend offers 16 sites with full hookups including 50 amp service for larger motorhomes.

Navigation into mountain parks may require careful driving on narrow, winding roads with elevation changes. Most RV parks in the region provide sanitary dump stations when sewer hookups aren't available at individual sites. Cell service varies significantly throughout the Ozarks, with reviewers noting spotty coverage in more remote locations. Fall foliage season fills many parks quickly, making advance reservations essential, particularly for big rig spots which are limited at some facilities. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions, though amenities vary widely between parks—from basic electric-only setups to full-service resorts with showers, laundry facilities, and camp stores. Propane is available at select locations, with Turner Bend and Hog Valley RV Resort offering on-site markets for supplies.

    Springhill

    2 Days Nice

    A little older of an area. Stayed in site B10. Close to level. We have a 36' 5th wheel, tow vehicle, plus another vehicle. Easy entry into site and large enough for all vehicles. Asphalt with concrete patio. There is a picnic table and fire ring. 50/30/20A We can kind of see the river from this site. Very roomy sites in the woods with plenty of shade. Mostly dirt ground. Older but clean restrooms. We didn't use them. There are single person combined toilet and shower rooms at the front of park. There are mountain bike/hiking trails all over, even a little bike park with ramps and jumps. Playground and boat ramp. No sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. Lots of mosquitoes in the evening. Although some sites need maintenance and the restrooms are old, this is a nice park. We stayed 2 days and would definitely stay again.

    C and J Sports - Under new management, now Beaver Dam Dive Shop and Resort

    Nice spot a little away from the lake

    This is primarily a dive shop/convenience store that has a campground and rooms for rent attached to the property. It is clean, quiet, and a pleasure to stay at. Most RV sites are 30-amp with water, but most do not have sewer connections. There is a dump station, but larger RVs may have a problem getting in through the pull through. I have an 18-ft travel trailer and didn't have any problems.

    The water is good, but pressure is a little on the low side. There are free showers and toilets available, as well as a pool on site. The store is open weird hours but has a pretty good selection. If you are a scuba diver, they are a full service dive shop. Make sure you get a full tank of air though--the guy filling ours only gave us about 2600psi in ours.

    Monte Ne RV Park

    Friendly Staff Will Make You Wanna Come Back

    When I came here I had but one reason to check out this area, the abandoned once amazing Monte Ne.  As a bit of a novice urban explorer I was intrigued by the history of this once giant which featured the first indoor swimming pool in the state, hosted a presidential function, boasted a gondola to ferry those visiting the facilities and was a part of a man’s manifesto of greatness.  Then it fell to hard times and eventually to ruin much like so many other locations.

    So what makes this area so intriguing?  The ruin is now being slowly swallowed by Beaver Lake and the once grandiose walls are now somewhat of an embraced location for street art.   

    Rogers has several locations you can camp, but this is the closest to the site itself.  I was excited to check it out and as I drifted further and further away from the Rogers city it started to look more and more remote.  While there were some homes which scattered along the roadsides there wasn’t much in way of civilization.  

    Then I happened upon my location of the Monte Ne RV Park, a quaint and secluded space which embraces the peaceful location of Beaver Lake and makes for a perfect idealist setting for relaxing. While it isn’t the most updated campsite I had seen it by far was not the worst and the staff in the front more than made up for any short comings of some weary benches here and there.

    The typical person staying here while traveling is enjoying hiking and fishing along with boating and other outdoor based activities.  It was a perfect location for access to the lake and though there were several people there, it didn’t seem crowded because the spaces are nice sized.  There are more than a few long term campers here as well and much like any campsite which allows long term camping you can tell the difference in the residence spaces as they have skirtings on their RVs and plants outdoors.

    I was able to find a tent site and settled in and was very pleased that it was very quiet.  I met a couple that was also traveling and had been there a couple nights and they had said they had been out exploring a bit in the area and were quite pleased, even made a couple suggestions for me for my time at the location.

    My site was typical in that it had a picnic table and fire ring.  It did include electricity, which typically I am not concerned with but it was nice to have so I could charge my devices and edit some video. 

    Closer to nightfall I noticed several people were outdoors using their grills and moving around because the temperatures were a bit better.  It was nice to see the community I was around and again the staff came around to check on everyone which was a very nice touch.  

    The positives of this campground:

    • TENT, RV and CABIN options

    • Shady sites - on hot days this can make all the difference

    • Friendly Staff

    • Free WIFI

    • AT&T Good Signal

    The negatives of this campground:

    • Slightly outdated, needs some paint and some upgrades on some tables and benches

    • Trash - unfortunately when I drove in I noticed trash as one of the first things I saw, this looked like it had been tossed by people coming in and out instead of using trashcans

    • Bumpy Road

    Well worth the stop to get to be so close to checking out Monte Ne.  If I was to return to Beaver Lake this would for sure be on my list again!!

    Mount Magazine State Park Campground

    Love It!

    If you are ever driving through Arkansas a trip to Mount Magazine State Park is a must. Mount Magazine is the state’s highest point topping out at 2,753 feet and delivers sweeping views of broad valleys, lakes, winding rivers, and distant mountains. The rugged rock outcroppings protrude from the densely wooded forests. What makes this park even more spectacularly beautiful is that it is surrounded by National Forest lands encompassing glorious acres of woods. 

    In the late 1800’s, the railroad made travel easier and people were drawn to the area for its cooler weather and awe-inspiring scenic beauty. Resort lodges and restaurants sprang up and the resort “Town of Mount Magazine” began. Soon a post office, parks, streets and a dance pavilion dotted the town. The town took a turn when drought, erosion, and the Great Depression brought the town to collapse. The 1934 Resettlement Act purchased all the private land on the mountain and was shortly transferred to the U.S. Forest Service. In the late 1930’s and 40’s, the Works Progress Administration built campgrounds, trails, cabins, and a lodge were constructed. A fire destroyed the lodge in 1971. In 1998, Arkansas State Parks entered into a cooperative agreement with the USDA Forest Service to develop Mount Magazine State Park. The lodge reopened in 2006 and graces the same beautiful setting as the original structure. 

    We found this park very relaxing which is kind of amazing because there is so much for outdoor enthusiasts to do making it hard to sit still. There are miles and miles of hiking trails, horseback riding, hang gliding launches, cycling, and some of the most dramatic locations for rock climbing and rappelling. The diverse mountain ecosystem offers amazing bird watching and wildlife viewing and provides habitat for over 90 species of butterflies. Many were brightening the woods when we were there. We were there at a time when wildflowers were blooming so the forest floor was lit up with color. The higher altitude and cooler weather on the mountain meant that trees had not leafed out yet but a look down in the valley was a stark contrast with trees fully leafed out. The park has a relatively small campground with a meek 18 sites with full hook-up (two of which are 50 amp). Campsites are well-spaced with gravel pads and patios with fire pits and picnic tables. We so enjoyed hanging around our campsite but for those that don’t camp you will be perfectly comfortable in the lodge or cabins. 

    The Lodge at Mount Magazine has breath-taking views and some rooms have spa tubs on their balconies to enjoy the view. Thirteen cabins dot the ridge line offering the same awesome views and Jacuzzi tub options on your balcony. At the lodge is The Skycrest Restaurant which is a nice treat for those not wanting to cook. We decided to have drinks one evening on the veranda enjoying the setting sun lighting the valley. The next day we popped in for lunch where $6 got a plate of open-face prime rib sandwich, mashed potatoes, salad, and squash casserole. Pretty good deal if you ask us. 

    This state park so worked for us. It was the combination of the reading in a quiet wooded campground, being able to go to the lodge for a drink, lunch and great view and spending hours walking in the woods. The park is a good 30 minutes drive from the nearest town so you may want to stock up so you can just relax on the mountain.

    Quiet and Peaceful

    Spacious level sites on concrete pads. Government operation so lawn maintenance is only adequate. Restrooms were clean. Didn't use showers but were available. Fishing nearby on river jetty or by the dam. Dump station is clean.

    Adams Mountain Rd Dispersed Campsite

    Piney Creeks WMA Dispersed Campsite, AR Ozarks

    Camped here on Wednesday May 15, 2024. In the Piney Creek WMA, part of the Ozark National Forest north of Hector, Arkansas. Large camping area at a high clearance ATV trailhead, FR1322A, just off Adams Mountain Road (gravel road).  The site has at least 2 established fire rings. Site is suitable for group dispersed camping. It looks like it can accomodate up to 3 truck camper size rigs. No problem with finding a level spot for our camper van. The ATV trail is a nice hiking trail into the forest. The trail has a handful of 4x4 obstacles along the way. A 1 1/4 mile hike takes you to a small unnamed waterfall, which may not be running during the dry season. The site is close to Adams Mountain Rd. We camped here during mid-week & only five vehicles passed by during the evening, with headlights briefly shining into the site. The area & fire rings were clean. Campsite surface is dirt, with lots of poison ivy in the surrounding foliage. Overall, this is a good spot; nothing special, but nice. T-Mobile 5G service (2 bars). Intermittent AT&T LTE service.

    Waveland Park

    Quiet and friendly staff

    Can't not beat the price and the spot. Nice views, great place to unwind for a couple days with friendly staff. Bathrooms with showers, with an Access pass it's $10/night with electric and water. WOW! A lot of people seem to be camping here and taking their boats out.

    Level spots with picnic tables and fire pits. Couldn't get our Starlink to work with tree coverage but have reception.


Guide to St. Paul

Dispersed camping opportunities near St. Paul, Arkansas are limited, with most options consisting of established RV parks and campgrounds within the Ozark Mountains region. These facilities range in elevation from approximately 1,000 to 2,500 feet, offering access to recreational activities along the Buffalo National River and surrounding forest areas. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing, while summer temperatures routinely exceed 90°F with high humidity.

What to do

Hiking and biking trails: Blowing Springs RV Park provides direct access to multiple trail systems. "This is your basic parking lot campground. Your site is all cement with full hook ups and a picnic table. No green areas to call your own, BUT you have incredible instant access to the trailhead of many singletrack bike and hiking trails," notes one camper. The Back 40 trail system connects directly to the campground, offering miles of shared-use paths.

Water activities: The Buffalo National River runs near several campgrounds, providing kayaking and swimming options from May through September. Water levels vary seasonally. "We like the location of this site. Easy to access and nestled in a valley of beautiful trees. It's also close to hiking and biking trails," shares a visitor about Blowing Springs.

Vineyard visits: Grape Country RV Park offers camping adjacent to regional wineries. "Settled right in between grape fields, beautiful manacured grounds with lots of picnic tables and plenty of area to walk dogs or kids. No additional amenities but not needed really with FHU. Owner came by and personally checked on us, booking was easy with a text! Great wines right up the road," reports one camper.

What campers like

Mountain views: Turner Bend offers scenic vistas that campers consistently mention. "Clean and spacious RV sites. We love the view of the mountain and the fact that we can ride our ATV to the Turner Bend Store to get gasoline and sandwiches," writes one visitor. The elevation provides cooler temperatures during summer months.

Convenience stores: Several campgrounds feature on-site markets with camping essentials and food. "The Turner Bend Camp Store is half mile down the road for gasoline, camping supplies, ice, fresh deli sandwiches and wraps, t-shirts, pins and patches," notes a reviewer.

Clean facilities: Wanderlust RV Park maintains well-kept bathhouses and common areas. "A well kept RV Park. Hosts were friendly, sites were clean, all hookups were in good condition. They were updating the back section of the park while we were there so several of the premier sites were not available," states a camper. The park performs regular maintenance on its facilities.

What you should know

Site sizes vary: Many RV parks have mixed site dimensions. "We pulled in at midnight. Difficult to see how to pull through some of the spaces. They have a pond. The weather was nice. Clean space and not noisy through out the night," mentions a visitor to Fort Smith-Alma RV Park.

Seasonal availability: Not all rv campgrounds near St. Paul, Arkansas operate year-round. Wanderlust RV Park runs from March through mid-November, while others remain open throughout winter.

Advance reservations: Peak seasons (spring wildflowers, fall foliage) fill campgrounds quickly. Holiday weekends often book months in advance, especially for premium sites with shade or creek views.

Environmental concerns: Insects can be prevalent in warmer months. "Only complaint was these little red mites. I looked them up and they are harmless but they were numerous and made us uncomfortable. I was especially concerned for our 2 dogs," notes one Fort Smith-Alma visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Opt for campgrounds with play areas: Some St. Paul area RV parks have dedicated recreational spaces. "RV pull through are a little tight but you pull in alternating so you backside to backside. Our site was perfect in we faced the pond and playground and didn't have any other campers in direct site when lounging outside our camper," shares a Fort Smith-Alma RV Park visitor.

Consider proximity to water features: Creeks provide natural entertainment for children. Twin Creeks RV Park offers tent sites along a stream. "They have RV spots, but they also have tent sites down by the creek that include picnic tables," notes one camper.

Check cell service availability: Coverage varies widely throughout the Ozarks. Some campgrounds offer WiFi, but signal strength differs between locations and can affect streaming services and online schoolwork.

Tips from RVers

Level sites: Many travelers note the importance of leveling equipment. "Flat Sites, Clean, Nice Amenities, Nice Staff, Little Exposed in heat to Sun. Best shades sites rented in advance (Site 24-27)," advises a visitor to Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort.

Access considerations: Some St. Paul area camping destinations have challenging approach roads. "Simple, but nice. No frills. Quiet. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place, away from the city, this is a great place. I love it. Have stayed several times in several different sites. Will stay again," explains a Grape Country RV Park visitor.

Space constraints: Site dimensions can impact larger rigs. "We only stayed the night passing through. It was somewhat tight getting a big rig in and out. And the parking spots are pretty close to each other. Everything was well kept up and maintained," reports a Fort Smith-Alma camper.
