Mountain View RV Park and Guest Motel

38 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 8 Condos, 1 Lodge

Mountain View RV Park and Guest Motel in Mountain View, Arkansas, offers 38 full-hookup RV sites and 10 cabin, condo, and lodge units in the Ozark Mountains, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, ADA-accessible sites, and EV charging. Sites take rigs to 45 feet across named categories including Best View back-ins and premium pull-throughs with room for a tow vehicle. Thirty-eight sites run in 30-amp and 30/50-amp full-hookup back-ins along the fence line, Best View back-ins on gravel pads, and premium 50-amp full-hookup pull-throughs with space for a tow — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. Accessible sites are available, and EV charging is on site, still uncommon at Ozark campgrounds. Ten cabins, condos, and lodge units serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a gated entrance handle the practical side, and the property is open all year. On-site recreation is broad: a disc golf course, sports courts, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, a recreation center, community fire pit, and walking trails, with a lake, pond, and creek on the property for fishing, boating, and kayaking. On-site dining covers meals, and live music and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Mountain View is the Folk Music Capital of the World, a living folk culture community where traditional Ozark music and crafts remain central to daily life. The walkable downtown, the Ozark Folk Center State Park, Blanchard Springs Caverns, Gunner's Pool, and the Syllamo mountain bike trails are all close. Music events drive occupancy here — check the calendar and book around it.

Little Sinkin Creek RV Resort & UTV Campground

2 Onsite RV/Trailers

Little Sinkin Creek RV Resort & UTV Campground in Bunker, Missouri, is built entirely around off-highway vehicle recreation, offering RV rentals — the Cherokee and the Cougar — alongside full-hookup sites on a big-rig-friendly property with direct trail access. A dump station and WiFi serve riders in one of the Ozarks' most trail-rich landscapes. The two on-site RV rentals, named the Cherokee and the Cougar, let riders arrive with a trailer full of machines and no rig at all. Full-hookup sites accommodate guests bringing their own, on a layout sized for big rigs hauling UTV trailers. A dump station and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. Trail access is the entire proposition. UTV and ATV trails run directly from the campground, which removes the trailering-out routine that most OHV trips require. Fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and biking are all available in the surrounding country, and off-roading is the reason nearly everyone books. Bunker sits in Reynolds County, one of Missouri's least densely populated, in the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest. The Current River watershed, the volcanic shut-ins, and Taum Sauk Mountain — the state's highest summit — all converge within a short ride, which is why the OHV community treats this stretch of the Ozarks as a destination rather than a stop. Riding season runs spring through fall, with fall color weekends drawing the heaviest traffic. With two rentals and a small site count, reserve well ahead for any weekend.

Sinking Creek Ranch

19 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Sinking Creek Ranch in Bunker, Missouri, offers 19 RV sites, five tent sites, and four glamping sites on a wilderness ranch in Reynolds County, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Creekside back-in sites come in both full-hookup and dry configurations, in one of Missouri's least-populated counties. Nineteen sites run in creekside back-in and creekside dry configurations, the full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Five tent sites and four glamping sites round out the accommodations. A dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. Check-in begins at 3pm and check-out is 11am, with self-check-in instructions sent before arrival and early check-in or late check-out available on request. The setting is the amenity. Walking trails run the forested property along the creek and pond, with fishing, swimming, hiking, biking, and horseback riding from camp. Off-roading is nearby. The night sky here is genuinely dark — Reynolds County carries almost no metropolitan light pollution, which makes stargazing one of the property's real draws. Pets are welcome. The ranch sits at the edge of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, where the Current River's corridor and the most remote interior sections of the Mark Twain National Forest converge with the spring-fed streams of the Ozark Plateau — one of the most ecologically intact landscapes remaining in the Midwest. Summer river recreation and fall color drive demand. With 19 RV sites in a remote setting, reserve well ahead.

Big Creek RV Park/ Arcadia Meadow Campground LLC

In the St. Francois Mountains of Iron County, Missouri—some of the most ancient and geologically remarkable terrain in the American Midwest—Big Creek RV Park and Arcadia Meadow Campground occupies a wooded setting on Highway 49 in Annapolis that puts guests within easy reach of a concentration of Missouri state parks that is unmatched anywhere in the state. The campground's 63 sites, family activity programming, and property features including a swimming pool, petting zoo, mining sluice, and on-site coffee shop make it the kind of family-friendly operation that creates returning guests, while the outdoor recreation potential surrounding the property makes it a base camp with genuine depth for the outdoors-focused traveler. Memaw's Coffee & Italian Soda Shoppe alone is worth a detour from I-55. All 63 RV sites are big-rig friendly with 30 and 50-amp full hookup service, and 21 of those sites are pull-through configurations for stress-free arrival and departure with large rigs. Free basic WiFi, cable TV, and private shower suites reflect a facility that takes the comfort dimension seriously alongside the outdoor programming. A swimming pool serves as the warm-weather gathering point, and the campground store carries propane, ice, wood, and camping essentials. The on-site coffee shop—Memaw's Coffee & Italian Soda Shoppe—provides a morning ritual that guests consistently identify as one of the small pleasures that makes the campground feel like more than a parking lot with hookups. Sunday morning worship services, organized for guests who want them, reflect the ownership's community-oriented values without imposing on guests who prefer a quieter Sunday morning. The campground's programming calendar is notably active. Kids' crafts, scavenger hunts, rubber duck races in the creek, hayrides, ice cream socials, and seasonal events through Fall Fest—held every weekend in October with pumpkin carving and costume contests—create a social calendar that gives repeat visitors specific event-weekends to anchor return trips. A petting zoo, catch-and-release fishing pond, mining sluice for gold and gem panning, volleyball, horseshoes, and a playground provide recreation across age ranges, and the property's creek access adds a natural dimension that the organized programming complements rather than replaces. The St. Francois Mountains surrounding Annapolis form some of the oldest exposed rock in North America—ancient granite and rhyolite worn to rounded knobs over billions of years—and the state parks they anchor are among Missouri's most celebrated. Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park, where the Black River forces its way through granite gorges in a natural water park that is one of Missouri's most spectacular attractions, is within close reach. Elephant Rocks State Park, where massive granite boulders the size of elephants are accessible on a short paved trail, is a geological marvel that delights all ages. Taum Sauk Mountain State Park—the highest point in Missouri and site of the Tom Sauk reservoir—and Fort Davidson State Historic Site add historical and geographical dimensions to the park touring itinerary. The Black River provides floating, tubing, and fishing access throughout the season. Big Creek RV Park and Arcadia Meadow Campground operates year-round with peak demand through summer and the October Fall Fest season. Johnson's Shut-Ins is a summer bucket-list destination that draws significant traffic from across the Midwest, and proximity to it creates strong campground demand from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Reserve early for summer weekends and October event weekends, and let the St. Francois Mountains show what ancient geology looks like when a river decides to go through it instead of around it.

Dogwood Springs Campground

8 Cabins

At 621 East Court Street in Jasper, Arkansas—the Boone County seat in the Arkansas Ozarks where the Buffalo National River makes its most dramatic passage through the limestone bluffs and cedar-forest hollows of the Newton County reaches, and where the Boxley Valley elk herd and the Upper Buffalo's whitewater sections create the specific outdoor identity that makes the Jasper area the most spectacularly positioned small town in the Arkansas park system—Dogwood Springs Campground and Resort combines studio cabins and cottages, 30 and 50-amp full hookup RV sites, tent sites with on-site electricity, a seasonal swimming pool, and the trail and river access that makes the Buffalo National River corridor the most sought-after camping destination in the Arkansas Ozarks. The campground's position in Jasper—minutes from the National River, within the zone of elk sightings, and in the geographic heart of the Arkansas Scenic 7 Byway—makes the drive time from any site to the Buffalo's most beautiful accesses negligible. Studio cabins and studio cottages provide the most enclosed and equipped accommodation—with full kitchens, private bathrooms, climate control, and fireplace options that make cold-season Ozark visits comfortable and self-contained in a way that tent camping cannot match. Full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections accommodate the RV population, and tent sites with on-site electrical service bridge the gap between primitive camping and full hookup, giving tent campers the electrical access for lighting, fans, and device charging that modern tent camping increasingly depends on. A seasonal swimming pool provides controlled aquatic recreation during the Ozark summer when the Buffalo River's flow can vary with rainfall patterns. Coin-operated laundry facilities, a covered pavilion with picnic tables, designated fire rings at select sites, and clean showers and bathrooms complete the practical amenity inventory. The Buffalo National River—the first national river designated in the United States system, protected by Congress in 1972—flows through one of the last undammed, free-flowing rivers in the lower 48 states with the specific water quality and natural character that undammed status preserves. The Upper Buffalo, accessible from Jasper, provides the most technically challenging and scenically dramatic whitewater paddling on the river system—running in late winter and early spring when seasonal rainfall fills the narrow canyon sections—while the lower sections provide the flatwater float experience that summer and fall visitors access by canoe and kayak. The Boxley Valley elk herd—one of the largest free-ranging elk herds in the eastern United States, reintroduced to the Arkansas Ozarks in 1981 from Rocky Mountain populations—inhabits the Boxley Valley and surrounding ridge terrain in numbers large enough that morning and evening wildlife viewing from the valley road has become a specific Jasper-area activity that visitors plan trips around. The fall rut in September and October brings bugling bulls to the valley floor in the same manner that Rocky Mountain elk are famous for, but accessible by car on a paved road rather than requiring a backcountry hiking permit. Rock climbing in the Ozarks, cave tours at the Cosmic Cavern and Mystic Caverns near Harrison, and elk-viewing photography constitute the activity calendar that gives the Newton County area its multi-day destination credibility. Dogwood Springs Campground and Resort is open year-round in the Arkansas Ozarks' four-season climate. The fall elk-viewing season and the spring whitewater season represent the two demand peaks most specific to the Jasper area. Reserve your cabin or RV site early for October elk rut weekends and let the Buffalo National River and the Arkansas Ozarks earn the wilderness reputation that one of the Midwest's finest river corridors deserves.

Ohana Celebration Park

9 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 5 Tent Sites

Ohana Celebration Park in Vilonia, Arkansas, offers nine RV sites, a cabin, and five tent sites on a lake in the central Arkansas countryside, with 30 and 50-amp full hookups on a big-rig-friendly layout. Premium lake-front and lake view pull-throughs join group RV sites, with a beach, boat and kayak rentals, and on-site dining. Nine sites run in group RV, lake view pull-through, and premium lake front pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lake front and lake view categories are worth requesting early. A cabin and five tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, personal mailboxes, restrooms, and a pavilion handle the practical side, and the group sites suit families or clubs traveling together. The lake carries the recreation. A beach gives swimming access, with boat and kayak rentals on site and fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats from the shoreline, plus inflatable water toys in season. Walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, community fire pit, and on-site dining fill the rest, with planned activities through the season and strong stargazing over the water. Pets are welcome. The park has been reborn since 2021 under the Mize family's stewardship from the historic Lester Flatt Memorial Park site, welcoming both short and extended stays. Vilonia sits in Faulkner County between Conway and Little Rock, with the Central Arkansas Karting Complex and Precision Paintball nearby. Summer lake season drives demand. With nine sites, reserve well ahead.

Wanderlust RV Park & Cabins

88 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Wanderlust RV Park and Cabins in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, offers 88 RV sites and two cabins five minutes from downtown, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Ridge Row pull-through, premium pull-through, and water-and-electric categories join full-hookup back-in and pull-through tiers, with an outdoor pool and creek. Eighty-eight sites span back-in, back-in water-and-electric, pull-thru, pull-thru water-and-electric, pull-thru 30-amp, premium pull-thru, and Ridge Row pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 80 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Check your tier before booking — the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Eighty feet is generous for the Ozark hills. Two cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a pavilion, creek, and biking filling the grounds and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Eureka Springs is unlike anywhere else in Arkansas — a Victorian spa town built into the Ozark hillsides, where the entire downtown is on the National Register, the streets wind rather than grid, and the Basin Spring's healing-water heritage still shapes the town's character. Thorncrown Chapel, the Great Passion Play, and the Buffalo National River are all within reach. Spring and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Ozarks. Reserve well ahead for October weekends.

Sun Retreats Horn Lake

10 RV Sites, 23 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites

Sun Retreats Horn Lake in Horn Lake, Mississippi, offers 10 Red Carpet pull-through RV sites, 23 cabins, and two tent sites ten miles south of downtown Memphis, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full-hookup service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 70 feet. ADA-accessible sites are available, and an outdoor pool and full family activity program run on site. The property was formerly Jellystone Park Memphis. Ten Red Carpet pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables, and accessible sites are available. Twenty-three cabins serve guests without a rig, and two tent sites cover simpler camping. Laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and a recreation center handle the practical side. Recreation is built around families. An outdoor pool anchors the summer with inflatable water toys and a jumping pillow, and a lake and pond support fishing. Sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, and gaga ball spread across the grounds, with gem mining and gold panning, a playground, pavilion, dog park, biking, and picnicking besides. Pets are welcome. Horn Lake sits in DeSoto County on US-51 and I-55, which puts Beale Street's blues clubs, Graceland, and the National Civil Rights Museum within a short drive of a Mississippi address. The two-state position gives families the full Memphis cultural itinerary from a suburban campground base. The resort operates through the Mid-South season, with summer family demand and Memphis event weekends driving occupancy. With only ten RV sites, reserve well ahead — the cabins carry much of the inventory here, and both book out for summer weekends.

Route 62 Motor Resort

21 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 12 Tipis, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Route 62 Motor Resort in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, offers full-hookup RV sites, tent camping and cabin rentals with an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a clubhouse and mini-golf, fronting Historic Highway 62 on the main approach into town. Sites are big-rig friendly and take rigs up to 45 feet. A storm shelter on site is worth noting in a region that takes spring weather seriously. Full-hookup RV sites accommodate rigs to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Tent sites serve campers traveling light, and cabins provide enclosed lodging. A general store stocks camp basics, laundry, bathrooms and showers handle longer stays, and WiFi reaches the sites. The on-site storm shelter is a genuine practical feature for spring and early-summer stays in the Ozarks. On-site recreation covers both weather patterns. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm season, a clubhouse and mini-golf work regardless, and a community fire pit provides the evening gathering point. Shuffleboard, picnicking and stargazing fill out the property, and the resort's lake supports fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Hiking and biking run from the grounds, and bird and wildlife watching is productive across the Ozark hardwood setting. Pets are welcome. The Eureka Springs Historic District is the most intact Victorian spa townscape in the mid-South — built on hillsides so steep no two streets cross at grade, with Basin Spring still flowing in the downtown park where the resort town began in 1879. Thorncrown Chapel sits four miles west on US-62, E. Fay Jones's 1980 glass-and-Douglas-fir chapel that the AIA ranked the fourth greatest American architectural work of the twentieth century. Beaver Lake's 28,000 acres lie 10 miles southeast. The resort operates year-round. Spring wildflowers in April and May and October foliage on the Ozark ridgelines are the two most spectacular windows. Reserve ahead for the Blues Festival, the opera season and the fall color peak.

Serendipity Resort & Campground

4 Cabins, 9 Yurts

Serendipity Resort & Campground in Brownsville, Tennessee, offers four A-frame cabins and nine yurts on a lake in Haywood County, with a water park, outdoor pool, beach, and disc golf course. Golf cart rentals, on-site dining, and a bar serve guests in the Hatchie River corridor of West Tennessee. Four A-frame cabins and nine yurts make up the accommodations — this is glamping and cabin lodging rather than an RV park. A general store, restrooms, firewood, and WiFi serve the property. Check-in is 3:00pm and check-out 11:00am. Note that four-wheelers and side-by-sides are not permitted, though golf carts are available to rent — contact the resort for rates. The water is the draw. A lake and pond support fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boats, and boating, with a beach and water park for swimming and an outdoor pool alongside. A disc golf course, horseshoes, biking, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds, with on-site dining and a bar for evenings. Pets are welcome. Brownsville sits on US-70 between Memphis and Jackson, which gives the resort practical West Tennessee highway access. The Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge protects a nationally significant stretch of bottomland hardwood nearby — the Hatchie is the longest un-channelized river in the lower Mississippi valley, and the surrounding agricultural landscape has kept its character. The resort serves the West Tennessee season. Summer water recreation drives the heaviest demand, with spring and fall delivering more comfortable conditions for the outdoor programming. With 13 units total, reserve well ahead for any weekend.

from $22/night

Meramec Campground

30 RV Sites

Meramec Campground in Stanton, Missouri, operates year-round along the Meramec River corridor in Franklin County — a campground positioned where the river's spring-fed limestone clarity, the forested Ozark foothills terrain, and the proximity of one of Missouri's most dramatic cave systems combine to create a multi-day outdoor destination within the comfortable driving orbit of the St. Louis metro area. The campground's setting on the Meramec, a river known for its exceptional transparency and the cave systems that the region's limestone geology produces throughout the watershed, gives guests immediate access to the kind of outdoor character that draws generations of Missouri families back to this specific stretch of Ozark river country. RV sites, rustic cabins, deluxe cabins, and tent camping spots give guests a range of accommodation options appropriate to the full spectrum of camping preferences from fully self-contained motorhome travel to the basic tent-on-ground experience that the Meramec's wooded riverbanks have provided Missouri campers since before the highway era. Hiking trails through the surrounding Ozark hillside terrain, biking on the regional trail network, and canoeing on the Meramec from camp deliver three genuinely distinct outdoor activity channels that sustain multi-day stays without exhausting the nearby options. Pets are welcome throughout. Meramec Caverns, just miles from the campground, is one of Missouri's most visited natural attractions — a cave complex with decorated formations developed over centuries of guided tourism, offering one of the most accessible cave experiences in the Midwest in a setting where the geology of the Ozark karst is presented at spectacular scale. The cave's temperature holds at 60 degrees year-round, making it a particularly welcome afternoon destination on hot Missouri summer days. Boone's Lick State Historic Site, associated with the salt lick operations of Daniel Boone's sons, adds a historical excursion option that connects the Meramec region to Missouri's earliest Euro-American settlement era. Six Flags St. Louis, within driving range of the campground, provides the full-scale theme park experience for families whose camping trip itinerary includes a dedicated thrill-ride day. Meramec State Park, a few miles east, encompasses the river's most protected Ozark woodland terrain with canoe rentals, cave tours, and the spring-fed swimming and float experience that defines a Missouri Ozarks summer outing. The Meramec's water character — spring-clear over gravel and limestone through the park's forested corridor — offers the textbook Ozark float trip accessible without a major outfitter logistics operation. Meramec Campground's year-round operation gives guests access through Missouri's full four-season calendar, with summer float season and fall foliage representing the two peak periods. The river corridor's hardwood and shortleaf pine mix produces consistently rewarding October color, and the Meramec's spring clarity — before summer algae builds in the slower pools — gives early-season canoe trips exceptional underwater visibility. Reserve ahead for summer float season and Labor Day weekend, when the Stanton-area Meramec campgrounds fill from the St. Louis day-trip and weekend market that the river has drawn for over a century.

Catherine's Landing

81 RV Sites, 18 Cottages

Catherine's Landing in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers 78 RV sites and 18 cottages across 400 acres with a mile of Lake Catherine shoreline, five minutes from downtown Hot Springs. Sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service and cable TV, take rigs to 65 feet, and include waterfront back-in categories, with a zip line, splash pad, and boat ramp on the property. Seventy-eight sites run in premium back-in and waterfront back-in configurations, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 65 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighteen cottages serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. Two policies to note: the resort enforces a ten-year age restriction on RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval if you send a photo in advance, and all holiday weekends require a three-night minimum. The 400 acres carry the recreation. A zip line runs the property, a splash pad and outdoor pool cover the swimming season, and a boat ramp and fishing pier give direct access to Lake Catherine's clear, Ouachita-fed water. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and fishing all run from camp, with bike rentals, a dog park, playground, clubhouse, pavilion, and pond besides. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs National Park is the smallest in the system and the most historically layered thermal spring community in North America, with Bathhouse Row, Oaklawn racing, and the Mountain Valley Spring heritage all five minutes away. The resort operates through the Arkansas season, with summer lake recreation and the Oaklawn racing calendar driving demand. Book holiday weekends well ahead, and confirm RV age approval before arrival if your coach is over ten years old.
