ScoutGreat views, wonderful neighbors and a really nice dog park! Owners and management are very nice and helpful. Plenty of drive thru lots for big rigs. Higher end RV park, spacious lots, all utilities included. Beautiful new bathhouse kept very clean. Highly recommended!!!
TravelerI couldn’t get over how clean this facility was. Very kind and accommodating staff. We stayed in a Kamping Kabin with a bunk bed and a full size bed and it was sparkling clean. The pool was sparkling clean as well. Great dog park and children’s park.
RangerDevil’s Den SP had a great campground with full hookups available. The natural beauty of this area is breathtaking! Plenty of hiking opportunities and tons of activities. Very pet friendly. And close to so many attractions in Northwest Arkansas!
ScoutNo pets in yurts. Yes to Cats ❣️. My cats travel campgrounds and usually are outdoors but here I kept them in cabin because they would not like it outdoors. Cabins had AC but smelled like dust polish. Gorgeous forest views in the shower house. HOT water when shower is on Cold setting. Cold at hot. Cool affordable camp store. Nice people. Too much cinnamon spray in all indoor areas but not cabins. 24 hour rec room w AC and a wall of movies and games and books and cozy couch. Hurricane machine and fresh yummy donuts are not to be missed. My son is Big and found the camp cabin too crowded small and didn't like the leather beds even with our bedding on them. I found it cozy except the polish but couldn't open it up because we wanted the cats indoors here. Great porch swing, nice condition. Microwave and fridge. Friendly staff.
TravelerThis park is located on the Arkansas River. There’s a boat ramp, so bring your boat and enjoy the beautiful Arkansas River. Pets are allowed, there is a leash law. Bring your own firewood. Campsites are both Electric and primitive. Flush toilets and Warm Showers are available. Good cell service. Very clean and peaceful.
ScoutHog Valley RV Park is a solid place to stay, especially for families. The amenities are nice, particularly if you have children, with parks, basketball courts, and pickleball courts available. The two pools were closed for the season during our stay, so keep that in mind depending on when you visit.
The front staff was very welcoming and even escorted us to our spot, which was a nice touch. The park was quiet at night, and the sites were level with full hookups, which made setup easy. There are also plenty of spots available throughout the park.
A few downsides kept it from being a 5-star stay. The grass was extremely damp, and our dogs got soaked just from laying down. There is also only one trash area, located near the front entrance, which is pretty far from many of the sites. The dog parks were just average, possibly a little below average.
Overall, it was a good stay with great family-friendly amenities and friendly staff. I’d recommend it, especially for families, but there are a few areas that could be improved.
LegendThis is KOA, not my favorite place to stop, but they have good, basic facilities, sort of like Motel 6. They are just off I-40, so it was convenient for a one night stop. The sites were level, and were Pull-Thru so we didn’t even unhook. Full hookups, Some shade, a dump station. The shower/bathroom was clean. There is a small store. They also have cabins and tent sites; Free Wi-Fi, cable tv, a pool and playground, and a pond for fishing. There is a small Kamp K9 (dog park). When we were there everything was wet, and the smell of wet creosote from the log yard next door was terrible.
GuideI go here with my friends every summer we hike almost all the trails , it’s gorgeous last time I went there (summer of 23) we saw a wild river otter swimming there is so much wildlife out there and it’s just gorgeous absolutely stunning and worth visiting, family friends and dog / pet friendly if you want to take your dogs on a hike this is the place , has stairs and is not very handicapped accessible if you want to go to the bottom of the falls but it is completely accessible for a wheelchair if you just want to view the falls from the top and there are multiple handicapped accessible paved paths !
TravelerSimple, 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. About 13 campsites, all gravel. Has a wooded trails for walking and a big open are for walking and playing with pets. Water, sewer and 30/50amp electric are easy access and to hook up. James the owner is great and has a U-Pick orchard as well.
Devil's Den State Park offers pet-friendly cabin camping 20 miles southeast of Winslow, Arkansas. Located in the Boston Mountain region of the Ozarks, these cabins sit at elevations between 800-1,800 feet, creating distinct microclimates compared to surrounding areas. Winter temperatures can drop 10-15 degrees below nearby Fayetteville, requiring campers to pack additional layers even during shoulder seasons.
Yellow Rock Trail hiking: Accessible directly from Devil's Den Campground, this trail leads to unique rock formations perfect for photography. "The large rock 'mountain' it leads you too are so much fun to play on. They have tiny caves and are incredibly easy to craw around on. P.S make sure and bring lots of bug spray," notes Cj C. from Devil's Den State Park Campground.
River swimming: Mulberry River runs through several campgrounds, creating natural swimming holes during summer months. "The river runs right through the property. There are a ton of trails to explore. They have a store and restaurant on site," explains Desiree Y. from Byrd's Adventure Center.
Ozark Highland Trail access: Many campsites connect directly to this long-distance hiking trail. "Ozark Highland Trail is directly behind the campsites on the lake side," reports Ryan S. who stayed at Lake Fort Smith State Park.
Morning wildlife viewing: Early risers often spot deer, turkeys and numerous bird species near campsites. "Wildlife encounters are common throughout the area, particularly at dawn when animals are most active.
Extensive trail networks: The connected trail systems allow for multi-day hiking adventures without repeating routes. "We love camping at Devils Den every spring! The trails are great and have beautiful views. The rangers and staff in the shop are very nice," shares tiffany H.
Clean facilities: State park campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses and common areas. "Neat, clean, well maintained with good space between spots. Very nice restrooms with free hot water. The place seems almost new!" says D37 about Lake Fort Smith State Park Campground.
Firefly displays: Summer evenings feature impressive natural light shows. "To balance out the bad insects, there are lots and lots of fireflies here at dusk," mentions Alex M. who visited Redding Campground.
Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer good separation between neighbors. "Sites are pretty level with a small concrete pad for wheels," notes Kelsey G. from Southgate RV Park.
Limited cell service: Most campgrounds have minimal or no connectivity. "There's no cell service whatsoever but Wifi (paid) is offered by the park. Make sure to stock up on supplies beforehand - there are not many options within that area as far as food and services," advises Gonzo A.
Remote location considerations: The isolation requires preparation. "The trip out there is amazing. They own 800 acres and have a ton of off-road trails for all," says Desiree Y. about Byrd's Adventure Center.
Access challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult entry roads. "If you have a large rig - make sure to take the West Fork exit off I-49 vs. the south exit (Winslow). There's no cell service whatsoever," warns Gonzo A. who camped at Devil's Den State Park.
Seasonal closures: Flooding can affect campground availability. "Campground is currently (April 7) closed for maintenance and flooding. Call before you go!" advises Jo from Devil's Den State Park.
Pool access: Some parks offer swimming pools when river conditions aren't suitable. "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.
Campsite selection for safety: Certain sites have terrain challenges for young children. "Many of the campsites are on a grade. They all have multiple levels with stairs and have no railings. We had 5 children <6 years of age and the sites were somewhat perilous. If you are a parent with small kids, sites 17-20 and sites 2-3 are better," recommends Ryan S. from Lake Fort Smith State Park.
Insect preparation: Pack appropriate protection, especially during summer months. "This facility has everything you need. If you are a glamper there is a place for you, but if you like to primitive camping there is also a place for you. Great place to Hike and explore," says Dam J. about Devil's Den.
Site selection for larger rigs: Limited level sites accommodate bigger vehicles. "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," advises Donna H. about White Rock Mountain Recreation Area.
Road access considerations: Some access roads present challenges for larger vehicles. "Nice and quiet place. Great hiking! Not really a place for a quick overnight, the road in is steep and crooked," warns kcki M. about Lake Fort Smith.
Water access from RV sites: Consider proximity to water sources when selecting sites. "It was totally level we didn't need any leveling done at all," reports Jennifer O. about her experience at Lake Fort Smith State Park.
