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.

Cedar Ridge South Fork River

4 Glamping Sites, 3 Tiny Houses

Cedar Ridge South Fork River in Hardy, AR, offers 3 tiny houses and 4 glamping sites along the South Fork of the Spring River. This is a tiny house and glamping property rather than a serviced RV park — the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact them directly if you're traveling in a rig. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, a community fire pit, walking trails, and WiFi serve the grounds. Pets are welcome. The river is the reason to come. The South Fork is a cold, clear Ozark stream fed by some of the most prolific springs in the region — cool enough for comfortable floating and swimming through an Arkansas summer, and productive for smallmouth bass and rainbow trout. Kayaking, hiking, fishing, swimming, picnicking, birding, and dark forest sky for stargazing fill the days. Hardy sits in Sharp County in the Arkansas Ozarks, a small town with a well-preserved historic main street. Rates for the tiny houses and glamping sites are on the booking page. Summer float season books first — and call about RV accommodation before you tow.

Beaverfork Lake RV Resort

27 RV Sites

Beaverfork Lake RV Resort in Conway, AR, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites are described by where they sit, which is more useful than a tier name: back-in near lake, shorter back-in near lake, pull-through near lake, pull-through with lakeview, and pull-through in the upper section. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a snack bar, and a clubhouse cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park on the grounds. Boat docks and kayak rentals put guests on Beaverfork Lake for fishing, boating, and paddling, with pickleball on the property and cornhole golf — a resort original — running Wednesday through Friday afternoons into the evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, with extended summer hours. Conway sits about 30 minutes northwest of Little Rock, a growing college town, with the resort two miles off I-40 on the quiet side of the lake. Rates and availability are on the booking page. The lakeview pull-throughs go first on summer weekends.

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.

Eminence sits in one of Missouri's most remote and purely beautiful rural counties, where the Jacks Fork and the Current River flow cold and spring-clear through forested limestone valleys protected under the National Park Service since 1964.

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.

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.
