GuideRegatta On Grand
First Class Resort
Registration is totally online- you register, pay, and check in online. You will receive a text message the morning of your arrival day asking you to provide an ETA. You will be assigned a concierge who will meet you when you arrive and escort you to your site.
All the park and on-site restaurant staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The entrance to the resort is directly off the main road and is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number S-6. All sites had concrete pads, and they all appear to be fairly level. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. Bathrooms, showers, and a laundry area aren't available, although both restaurants on the property do have bathrooms for their customers.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, Cable, and OTA: there is no Wi-Fi in the park. We were able to get AT&T 5G with 4 bars. AT&T achieved 399 Mbps down and 10.6 Mbps up. Satellite reception should not be an issue at most sites, as you can move your dish around to an open area on your site. There are plenty of OTA stations available, and they all had great reception with clear HD pictures. Cable was not available.
Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is in great condition. The park has a covered bench, and they also provide doggie bags and a trash can.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website, and you are only a few miles from area stores and restaurants. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay, even if they don't have the normal RV park amenities like showers, bathrooms, or a laundry area

Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort
Still a nice park, but...
We last stayed here five years ago when the park was new. Some of the areas and amenities that are now available were still under construction during our last trip. The bottom line… still a very nice park, but it's starting to show its age a little.
Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate, though several roads have asphalt failures that need attention. Even though it's not too far from Interstate 49, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all- very peaceful.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number 36. Most of the sites are gravel, but the pull-thru row that we were in had concrete pads. For the most part, all sites appear fairly level.
Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located.
Two bathroom areas also have showers and laundry facilities- one at the front of the park and one in the rear. The pool area and playground are located at the front of the park.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, Cable, and OTA: there is Wi-Fi in the park, but the park info sheet that they provide you with notes that the Wi-Fi is spotty. We were able to get AT&T 5G with 4 bars. AT&T achieved 418 Mbps down and 21 Mbps up. Satellite reception should not be an issue at most sites, and if you do need clear access for satellite reception, there are plenty of sites available with no trees. There are plenty of OTA stations available, and they all had great reception with clear HD pictures. Cable was not available.
Dog Park: They have two nice fenced-in parks that are in great condition. The one in the front of the park is divided for big and small dogs, while the one in the back is larger but not divided. They both have benches, which are all in good shape. They also provide doggie bags and a trash can. NOTE: I've included a photo of the sign posted at the entrances to the park indicating that they might be shut down. So if having a fenced dog park is mission-critical for your stay, you might want to verify that they are still open when you make your reservation
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website, and you are only a few miles from Fayetteville, where you can find plenty of stores and restaurants. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. Although the park is starting to show its age, it still deserves a high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy your stay!

RV Park for Indigo Sky Casino
Sites have water and electric, and a dumping station. Really nice showers and bathrooms. Don't have to gamble, and fairly cheap to stay with access to the hotel pool.

Downstream RV Park
Huge facility, well kept & clean.
Huge facility, well kept and clean. Affordable spacious sites, with 30/50 amp power with water. Separate dump station. A bit noisy with the nearby highway traffic, but our A/C drowned out the noise thru the night. Will stay again, if we ever come back through the area.

Roaring River State Park Campground
Very nice
Large spots in Campground 1 with a lot of shade. Campground 2 and 3 are a little closer together. Very clean and quiet. Showers could use a little up dating. It has hiking trails and roads to bike on. Plus the huge spring that creates the Roaring River and a large fish hatchery. Fish for trout.

The Creeks Golf & RV Resort
Golf Course Stay near Fayetteville
We had a wonderful time! The sites were not very big, but it’s a great spot if you like to golf and don’t need/want much room! Staff was very friendly and the restaurant was a great spot with reasonable prices! Nice view of the pond and discounted golf with stay! Would definitely come back!

Great Place to Stay!
Excellent Campground! I haven’t stayed at many in Eureka Springs but I can’t imagine it gets better than this one. Plenty of room for the big big rigs, super clean bathrooms, clean pool, excellent WiFi, new laundry equipment, it was just an amazingly clean and friendly place. I’ll be back soon to run the motorcycle trails.

Withrow Springs State Park Campground
Quite park
Great get away from 4th crowds. Was super hot & humid, but Arkansas in July!!! Lots of shade, took our fans to help keep cool. Full hookups...no cell service for T-Mobile. Used our Starlink. So we were good for connecting with family.

Mountain biking: The Campground at Coler provides direct access to the Coler Mountain Bike Park trail system. A camper shared, "Beautiful facilities, quite camping in the heart of Coler Mountain Bike Park. Minutes away from downtown Bentonville, feels like it is miles away from the rest of the world." The campground includes amenities specifically for cyclists such as "bike wash, Ebike chargers" and trails for "all levels" with "a good mix of easy and techy cross county trails as well as some fun flowy jump trails."
Float trips: Shady Beach Camp & Canoe offers kayak and canoe rentals with river access. One camper mentioned, "Kayaking/Canoeing is so laid back, there was absolutely nothing to fuss over.

Privacy options: Some campgrounds provide secluded sites away from the crowds. At Huckleberry Ridge, a camper noted it's "pretty remote. Quiet." Another mentioned that while you "can hear K but only a few cars go up and down it. Can't see cars on K from the lot. Very cozy!"
What you should know
Seasonal closures: Several campgrounds operate on limited schedules. River Ranch Resort specifically runs "from May 15 to September 15," while other facilities may have different operating calendars based on river conditions and weather patterns.
Varying bathroom conditions: Facilities differ widely between campgrounds. At Indian Creek Campground, a visitor noted they "have seen the crews regularly cleaning the bathroom/shower houses however be aware that there are still going to be bugs."

Separated camping areas: Some campgrounds organize sites to create dedicated family zones. One camper at Blowing Springs noted, "What I like about this campground is that the tent sites are separate from the RV area, and RV's don't have to go through the tents to get to their area."
