Buena Vista Farms Campground provides modern cabins overlooking a pond, while Schuy-Rush Park offers cabin rentals with access to boat docks.

Cabin options range from basic rustic structures to more comfortable accommodations with heating systems. Most cabins in the region are pet-friendly, though policies vary by location.

Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire pits for cooking while others include basic indoor amenities. Campers should plan to bring cooking equipment, food supplies, and drinking water. The rural setting means limited access to grocery stores, as one visitor noted: "This park is really off the beaten path, so be sure to stock up groceries, propane, etc. before arriving." On-site amenities often include firewood for purchase, with campground hosts selling ice and other basic supplies at reasonable prices.

    Primitive Campground — Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area

    We had the place to ourselves

    It was March, it was cold at night, but this ADA cabin had heat & electric, 5 beds with mattresses, beds with mattresses (2 pr bunks beds in the second room). Cement sidewalks from parking area to toilets & cabins, each with a waterfront view, fire pit & picnic table. From our cabin we walked grassy paths to a lovely bridge. Around the pond's perimeter are dispersed sites for tent-camping or possibly day-use. It was a challenge to find the park entrance, at night, and the closest small town is about 10-miles away. The very reasonable cost was transacted online.

    Quiet, nice lake!

    Love this place, it’s quiet and peaceful. Not a lot to do but they are trying. Tent camping, RV and a few cabin rentals, boat docks too where you can bring your boat! There are some hiking trails and pavilions and a softball field. There’s a stage they sometimes have plays and bands. I would give it a 5 stars (it’s in my hometown) but they really need some kind of draw. One shower house and a small playground. It’s worth a stay if you are in the area. It’s clean and neat.

    Great Friendly, Family Park

    We certainly didn’t expect the Prairie Lake Campground to be full in late October! Both loops were full, but there was just enough space for us to squeeze in for 2 nights! (A few spaces seemed to be filled with deer hunters who were up and out quite early.) Site has electricity with water centrally located in the center of the loop. We needed a 100 ft fresh water hose to fill up. Luckily a friendly neighbor had one for us to borrow! Nice warm bath house had push button showers with locks on the stalls with a dry space to dress inside the stall. Lake has boat dock with about 6 slips. The point on the lake was a beautiful setting for a fall wedding on Saturday! Lots of families with kids riding bikes around the loop and some playing wiffle ball in the open field. Each spot had a picnic table and fire ring. Our spot, #78 sat under a tree with great shade. Bagged ice is available at 1st host site for $4 and a bundle of firewood for $6

    Great Park

    Siloam Springs State Park Campground

    Siloam Springs

    Have visited Siloam Springs with both Scouts and with family. Camp sites were roomy but still shaded. Each had a picnic table and were mostly dirt and grass with a few rocks/pebbles. There were latrine toilets but no showers or running water other than spigots. While camping there we hiked some of the surrounding trails and fished at the lake.

    Primitive Campground — Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area

    Lovely Primitive Campground

    Stayed one night in July. We tent camped in site 1 of the primitive campground. There are 7 sites well spaced with a picnic table, fire ring, trash can and three sided shelter in each site. Pit toilets are in the middle. Each site is along the tree line with plenty of shade. These are walk in sites ranging from 0.10 miles to 0.50 miles from the parking lot. Just $6 a night. Hiking trails, kayaking and fishing are available but we didn’t get a chance to take advantage of those things. Very friendly and helpful campground host drove over from the RV campground to register us and even offered to take our stuff to our site. Great experience. Only 3 sites in use on a Friday night.

    Private, shaded, with amenities even in primitive camping

    I have camped in the primitive campground numerous times. It is shaded, private, has a shelter, picnic table, and fire pit that you can cook on. Watch out for the poison ivy and get a map from an employee to hike the trails. They can be hard to find but camping is fantastic!

    Primitive Campground — Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area

    Secluded Gem

    Nicely kept lake campground. Spots 56-60 overlook the boat docks. Bass fishing is good here. Showers are doable but don’t ever seem to be truly clean. Kayaking and canoeing is great here also. Cabins are small, rustic with no AC or water but are all nicely placed on the water. Campsites don’t have any shade. Drawbacks: dirty showers, no beach/swimming.
