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.

Ember Shoals Outdoor Resort

42 RV Sites

Ember Shoals Outdoor Resort in Cotter, Arkansas, provides a classic White River tailwater fishing camp on one of the world's most celebrated trout streams, where the cold, clear flows released from Bull Shoals Dam's depths create year-round water temperatures ideal for the rainbow and brown trout that have made the White River tailwater between Bull Shoals and Norfolk Lake a pilgrimage destination for fly fishermen across North America. The park's position directly on the White River in Baxter County gives guests the immediate river access—fishing from the bank, the dock, or launching drift boats and jonboats for guided float fishing—that defines the Cotter experience for anglers whose primary purpose is time on one of the continent's most productive trout rivers. The park's facility reflects its identity as a working fishing camp built for anglers: full hookup sites, cabin rentals for the non-RV fishing party, a clubhouse, fishing guide services that provide local expertise on the White River's most productive trout holding lies and seasonal patterns, river access with boat dock, fishing pier, a store with supplies, propane fills and exchange, showers, bathrooms, laundry, and pet-friendly policies for the sporting dogs and companions that fishing trips include. The corn hole and outdoor social spaces serve the evening gathering culture of fishing camp life, and the White River's visible current from the camp creates the ambient background that reinforces the angling community identity of this Baxter County riverfront property. The White River's transformation from a warm-water Ozark stream into a world-class cold-water trout fishery is entirely attributable to the thermal stratification of Bull Shoals Lake—the cold hypolimnion water released from the dam's bottom gates throughout the year maintains water temperatures in the 45-58 degree range year-round regardless of ambient air temperature, creating a trout habitat that supports enormous rainbow and brown trout populations in a river system that the surrounding Ozark highland geology keeps exceptionally clear. The IGFA world record brown trout was caught on the White River below Bull Shoals Dam, and the river consistently produces trout in the 20-inch-plus range that draw serious fly and spin fishermen from the metropolitan areas of the Midwest and South. Cotter's position at the confluence of the White River and the North Fork of the White River creates the triangulated access to two high-quality tailwater trout streams from a single base camp, and the Buffalo National River—the first national river designated by Congress, 36 miles northwest via AR-62—provides the contrasting wilderness float trip experience in a pristine free-flowing Ozark river canyon of extraordinary beauty. Mountain Home, the Baxter County seat approximately 10 miles east, provides the restaurants, grocery, and commercial services that make extended fishing camp stays in Cotter comfortable. Ember Shoals Outdoor Resort operates year-round in Baxter County's Ozark climate, with the White River's cold tailwater temperatures supporting productive trout fishing in every season—the winter low-flow periods often produce the year's largest fish as trophy brown trout concentrate in the deep pools below the dam, and the summer crowds that warm-water lake destinations experience are absent from the Cotter tailwater where the cold, misty river retains its solitary fishing camp character regardless of season. Float fishing trips in drift boats guided by local outfitters represent the White River experience at its fullest, and the park's guide service connection provides immediate access to the expertise that makes first-time White River visitors most productive.

The lakefront category is worth requesting early. A cabin serves guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout.

Boat docks, a boat ramp, boat storage, boat rentals, and kayak rentals put guests on Lake Hamilton directly, with fishing, boating, and swimming from the property and an outdoor pool as the managed alternative. A playground, gaga ball, and corn hole fill the rest. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs sits in Garland County on the Ouachita reservoir chain. Hot Springs National Park's Bathhouse Row, the Oaklawn racing calendar, and the city's arts scene are all close, and the thermal springs have made this a resort destination since the early twentieth century. Summer lake season and the Oaklawn meet drive demand. With 14 sites, reserve well ahead.

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.

Rocky Springs RV Ranch

3 RV Sites

Rocky Springs RV Ranch in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, is a family-built and family-operated RV park and cabin resort in Benton County's northwestern Arkansas Ozark foothills — a campground surrounded by Ozark National Forest and the Weddington Management Area with cabins featuring kitchenettes and bathrooms alongside RV sites in a setting that gives guests the forested natural environment of the Arkansas Ozarks within minutes of the rapidly growing Bentonville-Rogers-Fayetteville corridor that has transformed northwest Arkansas into one of the most economically and culturally dynamic regions in the mid-South United States. The ranch's family-owned character gives it the personal hospitality investment that distinguishes owner-operated campgrounds from corporate chain properties in a region where the outdoor recreation economy is rapidly maturing. Cabins with kitchenettes and private bathrooms give guests without their own RV equipment the fully equipped overnight option with the Ozark forest setting that the ranch's natural surroundings provide, and RV sites give self-contained travelers the hookup infrastructure for multi-day Siloam Springs area stays. The ranch's proximity to both the Ozark National Forest's undeveloped terrain and the Illinois River's recreational float corridor gives guests the direct access to northwest Arkansas's outdoor programming that the regional reputation for natural beauty specifically drives. Pets are welcome. The Illinois River, flowing through the Ozark foothills between Tenkiller Ferry Lake in Oklahoma and the Arkansas-Oklahoma border, sustains one of the most popular floating rivers in the south-central United States — a clear, gravel-bottomed Ozark stream whose Class I-II character makes it accessible to first-time floaters while the scenery and swimming hole quality sustain the repeat visits from the experienced paddling community that fills the river on summer weekends. The river's float distance through the Siloam Springs and Watts area provides the day-float and overnight camping paddle trips that northwest Arkansas outdoor recreation is built around. Bentonville, 30 minutes east of Siloam Springs, is home to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art — a world-class art institution endowed by the Walton family that houses the most significant collection of American art assembled in a single institution outside of New York, presented in a Moshe Safdie-designed building embedded in the Ozark forest above a spring-fed creek. The Momentary, Crystal Bridges' contemporary art satellite venue in downtown Bentonville, extends the arts programming into performance, visual art, and cultural events in the former Kraft Foods cheese production facility. Bentonville's mountain biking trail network, Oz Trails, is considered one of the finest destination mountain biking systems in the United States, with over 300 miles of purpose-built trail ranging from beginner flows to expert technical terrain through the Ozark forest. Rocky Springs RV Ranch serves guests year-round in northwest Arkansas's four-season Ozark climate, with spring and fall delivering the most comfortable outdoor conditions for Illinois River floating, Ozark hiking, and Bentonville arts visits, and summer providing the peak float season on the river's warm, swimmable water. The fall color in the Ozark hardwood forest — primarily oak, hickory, maple, and sycamore along the river corridors — delivers a deciduous foliage display from mid-October through November that rivals the more famous Appalachian fall color events for color saturation and photographic quality. Reserve cabins ahead for summer float season weekends and the October foliage period, when northwest Arkansas outdoor recreation demand consistently exceeds available accommodation capacity.

Mockingbird Mountain Resort

1 RV Site, 2 Cabins

Near Greers Ferry Lake in Edgemont, Arkansas—in Cleburne County in the Ozark Mountains where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Greers Ferry Lake impoundment of the Little Red River created the 31,000-acre reservoir and its clear, cold hypolimnetic release that established the Little Red River tailwater below Greers Ferry Dam as one of the premier trophy brown trout fisheries in North America—Mockingbird Mountain Resort provides 50 full hookup RV sites with six pull-through positions, three cabins sleeping up to four guests, and a Lodge sleeping eight to ten, with fully equipped kitchens, panoramic deck views of Greers Ferry Lake, free WiFi, self-serve laundry, and on-site staff support in the nature-focused mountain resort five minutes from the marinas, boat launches, swimming spots, and restaurants that Greers Ferry Lake's recreation infrastructure makes the defining amenity of the western shore. The cabins and Lodge with kitchen and lake-view decks, the five-minute marina proximity, and the Greers Ferry tailwater trout fishery within minutes define why Mockingbird Mountain is a destination resort rather than a highway overnight stop. Fifty full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections in a combination of pull-through and back-in configurations serve the RV camping market on the wooded Ozark Mountain property. Six pull-through sites specifically accommodate the longer RV configurations. Three cabins sleeping up to four guests each and a Lodge sleeping eight to ten provide the fully equipped enclosed accommodation for the non-RV visitor or the group that needs the cabin's communal kitchen, comfortable living space, and the covered deck with panoramic Greers Ferry Lake views that the Cleburne County hillside position provides. Fully equipped kitchens in both cabins and the Lodge give the extended-stay guest the self-catering option. Free WiFi, self-serve laundry, and the RV storage capability serve the practical amenity requirements. Long-term RV sites starting at $400 per month serve the seasonal and semi-permanent resident who chooses the Greers Ferry Lake address for the extended warm-season stay. Greers Ferry Lake's 775 miles of shoreline—one of the longest shoreline-to-surface-area ratios of any Ozark reservoir—provides the clear, cove-rich freshwater lake environment that watersports enthusiasts, bass anglers, and the scuba diving community that the lake's 100-foot visibility (among the clearest lakes in Arkansas) has developed as a dedicated user group. The lake's clarity results from the combination of the dolomite geology filtering the impounded water and the limited agricultural runoff from the Ozark Mountain watershed. The Little Red River tailwater immediately below Greers Ferry Dam is world-renowned among fly anglers for the trophy brown trout that the cold tailwater environment sustains year-round—the river holds the world record brown trout catch at 40 pounds, 4 ounces, and consistently produces fish in the 10-to-20-pound class that the local guide services target with streamers and midges in the specific water column that the cold bottom-release temperature creates year-round regardless of season. Mockingbird Mountain Resort is open year-round in the Ozark Mountain climate. The spring and fall represent the most temperate camping seasons, with summer bringing the lake recreation peak and winter providing the tailwater trout fishing that cold-water species specifically require. Reserve the Lodge for the family reunion, book the RV site early for lake-access summer weeks, and let Greers Ferry's world-record brown trout water and the Ozark hillside views earn the Arkansas mountain lake resort experience that the Little Red River below the dam makes uniquely significant.

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.

Leisure Landing RV Park

33 RV Sites

Leisure Landing RV Park occupies a quiet position on the shores of Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas — one of a small number of truly lakeside RV parks in a city where the combination of thermal spring history, national park designation, horse racing, and an unusually sophisticated food and arts scene has made Hot Springs one of the South's most genuinely varied weekend destinations. The park's location away from highway noise, with spacious sites extending to 60 feet for large motorhomes and satellite TV connectivity, gives guests the tranquil lakefront environment that the Spa City's reputation for relaxation specifically promises. Spacious sites accommodating rigs up to 60 feet with full hookups and satellite-friendly positioning handle the practical needs of contemporary RV travel at a level of comfort that the campground's loyal guest base consistently rates among the best available in the Hot Springs corridor. Lake Hamilton — one of the Ouachita River impoundments that form the chain of lakes through Garland County — provides the waterfront backdrop and the boating and fishing access that complement the city's thermal bath heritage. The park's exceptional quiet, even in peak season, reflects its protected lakeside position away from the commercial thoroughfares that carry most of Hot Springs' visitor traffic. Lake Hamilton's warm, relatively shallow water supports an active warm-water fishery through the seasons, and the lake's coves and timber structure hold quality largemouth bass and bream populations that draw fishing-oriented guests who combine therapeutic soaking with recreational angling in the specific Spa City tradition. The lake's evening light and the surrounding Ouachita Mountain silhouettes visible from the shoreline are consistent features of any Leisure Landing stay that guests mention alongside the practical amenities. Hot Springs National Park, the centerpiece of the city's historic identity, protects 47 thermal springs that produce water at 143 degrees Fahrenheit and has drawn visitors seeking therapeutic bathing since the 19th century. Bathhouse Row, a collection of eight grand bathhouses built between 1892 and 1923 in the national park's corridor, represents the most intact collection of thermal bathing architecture in North America — the fully restored Buckstaff Bathhouse and the Quapaw Baths and Spa provide active thermal bath experiences in facilities of genuine architectural distinction. Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, a two-hour drive southwest, is the world's only diamond-producing site open to the public where visitors keep what they find — a uniquely Arkansas experience worth the drive for any Hot Springs visitor planning a multi-day stay. Leisure Landing RV Park serves guests year-round in Arkansas's mild Ouachita Mountain climate. The Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort's thoroughbred racing season from January through May draws significant visitor traffic to the Hot Springs area, and the combination of racing, thermal baths, and Lake Hamilton winter fishing makes the January-April window a particularly active period for the park's extended-stay guests. Reserve ahead for Oaklawn racing weekends and the spring racing meets, when Hot Springs accommodation fills from a regional draw that extends well into Arkansas and the surrounding Gulf South states.

Ozark RV Park and Cabins

67 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Ozark RV Park and Cabins in Mountain View, Arkansas, offers 67 full-hookup RV sites and four cabins adjacent to the Ozark Folk Center State Park, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 67 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Back-in and pull-through categories join a recreation center, walking trails, community fire pit, and dog park. Sixty-seven sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 67 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. One pricing detail: rates cover four people, with a $2 per person charge above that and an eight-person maximum per site. A recreation center, billiards, walking trails, hiking, and a dog park fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season and boating nearby. Pets are welcome. Mountain View is the undisputed folk music and traditional crafts capital of the Ozarks. Square dancing still happens on the courthouse square on summer weekends, and the regional traditions here are preserved as genuine living practice rather than nostalgia — musicians gather informally around the square most warm evenings. The park connects directly to the Ozark Folk Center State Park, with Blanchard Springs Caverns and the White and Buffalo Rivers close. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Ozark conditions and the fullest music calendar, with foliage drawing October crowds. Reserve well ahead for festival weekends.

Rollin Oaks Park

20 RV Sites, 226 Tent Sites

Rollin Oaks Park in Center Ridge, Arkansas, offers back-in RV sites and extensive primitive tent camping in the wooded river valley country of Conway County, with rigs accepted to 30 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. This is a nature-first, 55-plus community that prioritizes the Arkansas woodland setting over amenity infrastructure — and prices accordingly. Back-in sites accommodate rigs to 30 feet, which suits smaller trailers and vans rather than large coaches. Primitive tent camping makes up the bulk of the property's capacity. A dump station and firewood are available on site. Guests should arrive largely self-contained; the infrastructure here is deliberately minimal. On-site programming is simple and traditional — a playground, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, and seasonal special events, which is what family primitive camping has always been built around. Hiking runs from the property, and the dark rural sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. Pets are welcome. Supplies require a short drive, so stock up before arrival. Center Ridge Grocery and Quick Stop are each 6.7 miles out with food, drink, gas, and ice, the Dollar General in Center Ridge is 6.2 miles, and Birdtown Grocery is 7.4 miles. Conway County sits where the Ouachita foothills roll north toward the Arkansas River valley, in the rural interior that has kept the unhurried character larger campgrounds systematically remove. Petit Jean Mountain — among the most scenically spectacular and historically significant sites in Arkansas — is within practical range. The park serves the Arkansas camping season, with spring and fall delivering the most comfortable conditions for primitive camping. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Hot Springs Campground

5 RV Sites

Just five minutes from downtown Hot Springs and nestled beside the boundaries of Hot Springs National Park—one of America's oldest federally protected natural reserves, established in 1832 as the Hot Springs Reservation four decades before Yellowstone became the first national park—Hot Springs Campground & RV Park provides the most convenient private camping access to the thermal waters, historic Bathhouse Row, and the Ouachita Mountain outdoor recreation that make Hot Springs one of the South's most complete resort destinations. Full hookup RV sites, tent sites, and cozy cottage accommodations sit in a shaded, natural setting with full amenity infrastructure including WiFi, laundry, fire rings, picnic tables, bathhouse facilities, and a clubhouse for guest gathering. Full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer serve RVs of all sizes in the shaded, wooded setting that characterizes the Ouachita Mountain forest surrounding Hot Springs. Cottages provide enclosed accommodation for guests who want a structure without hotel pricing, and the campground's pet-friendly policy accommodates the traveling dogs that accompany many Ouachita Mountain visitors. The clubhouse provides covered gathering space for groups, and the clean, well-maintained bathhouse facility supplements the cottage and RV hookup infrastructure. WiFi and laundry complete the essential services for guests planning multi-day stays to work through the National Park's extensive hiking trail network and the lake recreation that the Hot Springs area's multiple reservoirs provide. Hot Springs sits in Garland County in the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas, where 47 thermal springs emerge from the western slope of Hot Springs Mountain at a constant 143°F—the geological consequence of rainwater percolating two miles into the earth, where geothermal heat warms it before it resurfaces along a fault line beneath the city. Bathhouse Row, on Central Avenue in the heart of downtown Hot Springs, preserves eight bathhouses built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Gilded Age resort style that made Hot Springs one of America's most glamorous spa destinations—a city that served as the spring training home of major league baseball teams and a gathering place for presidents, gangsters, and celebrities from the 1870s through the 1960s. Hot Springs National Park's 26 miles of hiking trails traverse the surrounding Ouachita Mountain terrain from the Hot Springs Mountain Tower summit to the forested ridge trails that provide views across the Garland County landscape and the lake system that surrounds the city. Lake Ouachita, 15 miles northwest at 40,000 acres, is Arkansas's largest lake and consistently rated among the clearest lakes in the central United States—a remarkable reservoir for pontoon boating, kayaking, fishing, and the scuba diving that the exceptional water clarity supports. Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine to the south of Hot Springs add additional boating and recreational water access within minutes of the campground. Hot Springs Campground operates year-round in the Ouachita Mountain climate, where Hot Springs' moderate elevation provides cooler summers than the Arkansas lowlands and mild enough winters for comfortable thermal bath visiting through the off-season. The Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, the legacy of Hot Springs' thoroughbred racing tradition that dates to 1905, runs its live racing season from January through April—a significant draw that fills the city's accommodations during winter. Reserve your site or cottage at Hot Springs Campground and let the thermal waters of Bathhouse Row, the Ouachita trails, and the remarkable layered history of America's spa capital make this Arkansas National Park stop one of your most memorable.

Finish Line RV Park

1 RV Site, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

At 263 Golf Links Road in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Finish Line RV Park has transformed the RV experience in one of the South's most historically distinctive resort cities—delivering paved, level sites with concierge service, a spa-inspired bathhouse, a 12-foot waterslide and splash pad, and fiber-optic WiFi that rivals anything available in the region's full-service hotels. The park's name reflects its walking-distance position to Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, one of the country's most beloved thoroughbred racing venues, where the Sport of Kings has drawn visitors to Hot Springs every spring since 1904. For guests who want a polished, full-service RV experience woven into the social and cultural fabric of Hot Springs, this is the property. Paved, full hookup sites include 30 and 50-amp service alongside the fiber network and a level of thoughtful service—24-hour staff, curbside trash pickup, concierge assistance—that sets the property apart from parks that provide utilities and call it done. The spa-inspired bathhouse upgrades the shower experience significantly from the typical campground standard, and the splash pad and 12-foot waterslide add legitimate summer recreation value for families. E-bikes are available for rent to explore the park and surrounding neighborhood, and the horseshoes and cornhole pavilion provides a social gathering point for guests who want to sit outside after the racing ends. Security gating provides peace of mind for extended-stay guests. Hot Springs occupies a thermal valley in the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas, where 47 naturally heated springs emerge from the flanks of Hot Springs Mountain at a constant 143°F—a geological phenomenon that attracted Native Americans, Spanish and French explorers, and eventually the Gilded Age resort industry that built the extraordinary Bathhouse Row along the base of the mountain. The resulting landscape is a unique combination: a National Park (Hot Springs NP is the oldest federal reservation in the country, predating the National Park System) embedded in the heart of a working resort city, with Bathhouse Row's beautifully restored 1915–1923 spa buildings forming a streetscape unlike anything else in the South. Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, within walking distance of the park, operates one of the country's finest thoroughbred racing meets from January through May and hosts live races on weekends through the summer. The adjacent casino operates year-round. The surrounding Ouachita Mountains offer some of the region's finest outdoor recreation: Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine provide world-class bass fishing and water skiing, Garvan Woodland Gardens displays breathtaking botanical plantings across 210 acres on Lake Hamilton, and Magic Springs water and theme park provides family entertainment. Crater of Diamonds State Park—the world's only diamond mine open to the public—lies two hours southwest. Hot Springs operates year-round, though racing season from January through May fills Oaklawn's grandstands and the surrounding area with the energy of one of the sport's most loyal regional racing communities. Summer brings families to the lakes and water parks alongside the Hot Springs documentary and art film communities. The Quapaw Bathhouse and Buckstaff Bathhouse still operate thermal baths in the original Bathhouse Row buildings, offering a connection to the therapeutic water culture that made Hot Springs famous. Book your site at Finish Line RV Park and let Hot Springs deliver its remarkable combination of horse racing, thermal history, lake recreation, and mountain scenery.
