    Eureka Springs KOA

    Better than hotel and cat friendly

    No 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.

    Tall Pines Resort

    Quaint Forest Feel

    Located in the Branson West area, the Tall Pines Campground welcomes visitors of all camping styles to their shaded sites with a variety of options to best suit every day camping needs. 

    For those coming to the area with their RV in tow options area available for both larger and smaller units with ample spacing between sites to allow for comfort. Tent campers are welcome at this campground with sites including both primitive and improved with amenities standard to the sites including fire rings, picnic tables and common spaces for activities such as pavilions, a pool, laundry facility, restrooms with hot showers and more!!! 

    An additional feature of this campground is that they offer small cabins on their lower levels of the camping loops. These are prefect for groups which do not choose one of the camping options or who are flying into the Branson airport which is only 12 miles away. This allows those who would like the outdoor feel and experience to enjoy this without having the urban features of the strip of Branson beating on their backdoor at a hotel. 

    Staff here are very welcoming and friendly. They often offer upgrades to those staying without additional charge when they are not busy or overly booked to encourage people to return on their next trip. This is even echoed in how they answer their phones, very professional and informative!! 

    The campground feels like an older campground, and not in a bad way. If lacks the overwhelming feel of being modern where everything is branded or looks like a commercial for another attraction. This one instead feels more like a home for the weekend where you can wake up and have your coffee with a neighbor or even just enjoy the sounds of the nature. Because most of the sites have enough distancing, especially on the back loops, you will have a lot more quiet during quiet hours than many of the more packed and close proximity campgrounds which worry more about cramming in campers than the experience itself. 

    The only downside in my personal opinion, the roadway through camp is in need of improvement. It is narrow at best in some areas and if you were attempting to navigate with a rig that was larger it could become problematic. This is mainly an issue in the rear of the campground and near the cabins, where you wouldn’t need to worry much about larger units. 

    **Tips: **

    • During busy season call in advance to book and see if there are any specials which you can bundle. 
    • Give a cabin a look, these are quaint but in my opinion have the best spacing and views. 
    • Don’t worry if you have forgotten something. From this campground you are very close to Branson West which has full services including groceries and if you need a last minute closer to camp option there is a Dollar General within less than half a mile of the entrance.  Additionally the office has some supplies.

    Roaring River State Park Campground

    Great sites, great sights!

    Lots of river-side campsites, choice between wooded or open areas, pit latrines or flushies, and standard or electric sites. There are groop camping and cabins. Heated bathroom is available. On-site showers and laundry, RV Dump stations, and a store that offers fishing and camping gear, souveniers and a small selection of food. During the summer, swimming pool is open. Roaring River State Park is home to a Trout hatchery and the river is stocked each evening with trout for fishing the next morning. Sites have fire pits and picnic tables. Handicapped campers will find an accessible site with a large, flat concrete pad, accessible restrooms, and an accessible fishing area.

    Great Spot

    Their campsites are in a great spot, they are easily accessible on a paved road

    The sites are not all level so be picky with what site you choose, we always go find an empty spot that will work first, they have horse camps, tv sites, and camper spots as well as small cabins, each spot has different amenities but most have electric and running water near!

    Devil's Den State Park Campground

    Secluded

    This state park is challenging to locate, especially at night. Familiarize yourself with the directions and try to arrive before dark.

    There are many campsites available in many different areas of the park. Most of the sites are very private, have nearby facilities with showers, fire pits, tables, and trash bins. The sites all have access to trails and are close to water activities. The trails that are available are challenging, offer spectacular views and some history. There is back country hiking available, the park prefers that you register for a permit 24 hours in advance to accessing the back country trails. Some trails available are appropriate for mountain biking, however depending on the popularity of the trail is the level of maintenance that the trail receives. This state park is excellent for families because there are plenty of activities available that interest young kids.

    Devil's Den State Park Campground

    Beautiful scenery

    General: Located in the Boston Mountains of northwest Arkansas, you can enjoy time off the grid (we had limited cell service when we were at the summit of the Yellow Rock Trail but none in the campground). Limited rainfall resulted in less dramatic (or non-existent) waterfalls that are otherwise boasted of during other times of the year but the scenery was still beautiful, especially in the fall. 

    Sites/Facilities: Many different camping options (some loops have full hookups while others do not have hookups and there is a dump station near Loop E), a hike-in campground, a group campground, and an equestrian campground. There are also 17 rustic cabins (1-3 bedrooms with kitchens and a/c and heating plus nearby bathrooms). We camped in Loop E and there was reasonable separation between the sites. The pads were paved. Each site had a metal picnic table, lantern hook, and fire grate. Many of the sites provided shade from the many trees. 

    Bathhouse: Like some other Arkansas state parks, there are two bathhouses in some loops, and they were open on alternating days so that the other one may be cleaned and sanitized (Covid related policy). While the open one in Loop E was clean, the several soap dispensers were empty which does not make sense to me when hand washing is recommended. You also need to bring your own towel, which I have been doing regardless. There are showers but I did not use them so I cannot comment on how good they are. 

    Activities/Amenities: Hiking! I highly recommend the Yellow Rock Trail and the Devils Den Trail plus there are several others. During the summer, you can rent paddle boats and canoes. There are several areas with picnic tables throughout the park. There is also a swimming pool, although I did not see it when we were there in October(it would only be open in the summer). Firewood is available for sale.

    Wanderlust RV Park

    Wonderful Campground

    The campground is very convenient, off the Passion Play Road in Eureka Springs. We got a deluxe camping spot with its own deck, picnic table and smokeless fire pit. We were careful to get there by check-in time, as you are required to pull to the side of the entrance & hook up there until morning if you arrive late. Seeing some of these campsites, we can understand that policy, as many of them, including ours, has a steep drop off at the back of the parking area and it is really dark after sunset! The hosts were very nice, they have a great laundry/shower house. Hookups worked well, had good WiFi so we could watch our streaming tv at night. Will definitely come back to this park!

    Ranger Review of Banner & Oaks Bull Tan Hat at Devil's Den State Park

    Amazing State Park with something for everyone

    I have been to Devil's Den State Park twice now and this is my favorite state park in Arkansas. Devil's Den State park has something for every camper, no matter how you prefer to camp. Tent camping, hike in camping, RVs, cabins, they have it all. Want to bring your horse, you can do that as well. Devil's Den has some great hiking and mountain biking trails, from short to long. If you only do one trail be sure that is the Devil's Den Trail, you won't be disappointed on this 1.5 mile trail. If you want a longer trail there is the 15 mile Butterfield Hiking Trail. Devil's Den campground includes 135 campsites ranging from basic tent sites to full hookups for the RV crowed and horse sites. Campground are all paved with paved parking pads. Individual sites have tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings and a first for me, hooks for hanging your lantern. Flush toilets and showers are included. If you like to swim they even have a pool. Park has a store to provide your food needs. Sites all appeared to be well spaced. If you want complete privacy the word is get one of the walk in sites, you will have a bit of a walk but the reward is complete solitude. Lee Creek runs through the park and a 8-acre lake which allows fishing and boating with canoes and pedal boats. You need to reserve your site before hand or at the visitor center. One thing I do like is if you arrive to late to register at the visitor center, then you can just grab an empty site for the night, you just have to register the next day by 10am.

    Ranger Review of Banner& Oaks Bull Tan Hat

    Got the Bull Tan hat and have been wearing it for about a month now. Hat fits great, looks great. This is a very well made hat with quality materials and made in the U.S.A. It has held up amazing well in all weather conditions, sun, heat, rain and even snow and continues to hold its shape. I have a lot of hats and this one is one of my favorites.


Guide to Witter

Cabins for rent near Witter, Arkansas dot the eastern edge of the Ozark National Forest at elevations between 1,200-2,000 feet. This mountainous region experiences dramatic seasonal changes, with summer temperatures reaching the 90s and winter lows frequently below freezing. The area's cabin rentals offer access to over 300 miles of hiking trails and multiple river systems including the Buffalo and Mulberry rivers.

What to do

Off-road adventures: Byrd's Adventure Center near Ozark offers private land trails and connects to National Forest routes. "They not only have their own trails on private land, but off-roaders can hit trails in National Forest territory not too far down the road. Good place for vehicles that need to hook up or primitive," notes Eric L.

Horseback riding: Horseshoe Canyon Ranch combines cabin stays with equestrian activities. Sandy O. describes the setting as "wonderful" though cautions "the road in is dirt and gravel," making it "probably not a good place for motorcycles to get in and out."

Rock climbing: For cabin guests wanting climbing experiences, Horseshoe Canyon Ranch offers extensive routes. "Horseshoe canyon is one of the biggest climbing and bouldering locations in the southeast area," explains Luke O., while another visitor calls it a "climbing Mecca" with routes for all skill levels.

Water recreation: Buffalo Outdoor Center provides cabin accommodations and river access. Stephen R. reports, "The Outfitter store has everything you could need and more. The canoe rates and shuttle rates were very fair and the food in the kitchen was delicious."

What campers like

Mountain views: White Rock Mountain Recreation Area cabins sit at the highest elevation among Witter-area accommodations. "The views are exquisite. The people are warm and inviting. The cabins are very comfortable and clean," notes Shelia H., who appreciates the varying difficulty levels of hiking trails.

Clean facilities: Lake Fort Smith State Park Campground maintains modern cabins within 45 minutes of Witter. Jennifer O. describes it as "Absolutely the cleanest and most beautiful campground we've been in - in this part of the county yet. Sites spread far enough apart for privacy, full hook ups, cleanest bathhouses, and beautiful scenery!"

Winter accessibility: While many area accommodations close seasonally, several cabins remain open year-round. Matt B. recommends White Rock Mountain for off-season stays: "We've done day hikes there with the kids since, and in a prior visit I saw a bear go lumbering in front of my truck on the road to White Rock. Only time in 40+ years I've seen a bear in the wild in Arkansas."

Bathroom quality: Despite rustic settings, cabin guests often comment on unexpectedly clean facilities. Daniel D. at Serenity Campground found "The bathrooms and showers were super nice and perfectly clean. They even have a washer and dryer that campers can use."

What you should know

Road conditions: Access to many cabins near Witter requires navigating unpaved mountain roads. At White Rock Mountain, Clarissa F. advises: "I would recommend an SUV or other tall vehicle with 4 wheel drive. The twisty, steep, narrow dirt road makes for quite an adventure. It has many large rocks in the road and the decently sized potholes."

Wildlife encounters: The area supports black bears and other wildlife. Matt B. cautions about cabin cleanliness: "One warning on the cabins though - in summer be prepared for some bugs. They were pretty thick throughout. It's not that they're dirty, it's just that they're old buildings which aren't used every day surrounded by forest."

Connectivity limitations: Most cabins lack reliable cell service. At White Rock Mountain Recreation Area, Erin-Frannie R. advises preparation: "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!"

Supply availability: Many cabin areas have limited grocery options. Jeff P. at Mulberry Mountain notes that "The store is well stocked an has ice cream and fresh foods. The restaurant is pretty awesome as well. Food is YUM!"

Tips for camping with families

Cabin selection for safety: Look for cabins with level grounds for families with small children. Ryan S. at Lake Fort Smith State Park observed that "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."

Activity planning: Mulberry Mountain Lodging & Events offers family-friendly cabin options. Andrea H. reports "Sites were spacious and restrooms were very clean! ATV trails were great! Beautiful views..we will definitely go back."

Meal preparation: Most cabins provide basic cooking facilities, but confirm specifics when booking. At Byrd's Adventure Center, John F. notes "The store is well stocked an has ice cream and fresh foods. The restaurant is pretty awesome as well."

Seasonal planning: For families seeking quieter experiences, avoid peak seasons. Erin-Frannie reports that during a January-February stay at White Rock Mountain, "my partner and I were the only tent campers" despite cabins being "packed" and "many people visiting the overlook."

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Wanderlust RV Park offers cabin and RV options within driving distance of Witter. Allen S. advises: "We have a smaller pull behind camper and picked one of the ridge sites with 30 amp full hookup. The sunsets on the ridge were amazing!"

Leveling considerations: Many mountain cabin sites require significant leveling. Donna H. at Lake Fort Smith State Park recommends: "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."

Access limitations: Large RVs face challenges accessing many cabin areas. Matt S. recommends against bringing large units to White Rock Mountain: "Leave your RV or trailer at home. The road to White Rock Mountain driving south on 79 is a minimally maintained one in a half lane dirt road full of rocks, erosion, bumps and a lot of up and down switch backs."
