Fishing, hiking, and river access draw campers to Riverfront RV Resort, which sits directly along the Arkansas River in Van Buren, Arkansas. The campground is relatively new, having opened around 2023, and most sites feature concrete pads with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. A walking trail runs along the riverbank, so sites facing the water will see regular foot traffic from the public path.
Amenities here go beyond basic hookups. The resort has a pool, playground, outdoor gym, and pickleball court, along with a bathhouse that reviewers consistently describe as clean. There is a small store in the front office. WiFi is available on-site. Julie B. describes it as "beautifully maintained, sits right on the Arkansas river," and notes the park was lightly occupied during her July stay. At roughly $81 per night, it sits on the higher end for the area, though Good Sam and military discounts apply.
The location puts campers close to several attractions. Fort Smith National Historic Site is less than 2 miles away, and the US Marshals Museum is within walking distance. Multiple restaurants are within a mile. For anglers, the Arkansas River is accessible directly from the campground. Reservations are available online and can be made the same day. Pets are allowed. Campers wanting a different setup nearby can check out Lee Creek Public Use Area or Park Ridge RV Campground among the places to camp around Van Buren.
