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.

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.

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.

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.

Cloud Nine RV Park

40 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Cloud Nine RV Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, is a premium campground where relaxing comes easy — extra-wide full-hookup sites with free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a fitness center, and a clubhouse give guests the resort-quality amenity package for the thermal spa and Ouachita Mountain resort city that has drawn visitors to Garland County's healing waters since the 1800s. Hot Springs's position in Garland County on US-70 between the Ouachita National Forest's ridgelines and Lake Hamilton gives the park the specific resort-city campground character of a property in the most historically significant health resort destination in the American mid-South, where the National Park Service preserves the Bathhouse Row's eight Victorian bathhouses on Central Avenue as the most complete thermal bath resort streetscape remaining in the United States. The campground's resort amenities give guests the same comfort orientation that Hot Springs's spa and resort culture has sustained as its primary visitor appeal for 150 years. Extra-wide full-hookup RV sites with Wi-Fi, cable, fitness center, and the clubhouse amenity package give Cloud Nine the specific resort campground character of a Hot Springs property whose amenity level matches the resort city's hotel and spa market orientation — the fitness center and the clubhouse give guests the social and exercise infrastructure that the Hot Springs resort visitor's active lifestyle and the extended-stay market specifically value, and the extra-wide sites give the full-size modern coach the maneuvering clearance that the narrow sites of older Arkansas campgrounds frequently cannot provide. Pets are welcome. Bathhouse Row, the National Park Service's collection of eight restored early-20th-century bathhouses on Central Avenue in Hot Springs National Park, preserves the most architecturally significant and most historically complete thermal spa resort streetscape in North America — the 1915 Fordyce Bathhouse Museum's fully restored stained glass, ceramic tile, and ornate Beaux-Arts interior give the Hot Springs spa heritage its most complete physical survivor in the bathhouse complex that drew Babe Ruth, Al Capone, and Presidents Cleveland, McKinley, and Roosevelt to the thermal waters of the 47 hot springs that discharge at 143°F from the Ouachita Mountains' Hot Springs sandstone. The Buckstaff Bathhouse, the only bathhouse still operating in its original format, gives visitors the authentic Hot Springs thermal bath experience. Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort on Central Avenue gives Hot Springs its professional thoroughbred horse racing — the Oaklawn Racing and Gaming Center's January-through-April meet, with the Arkansas Derby and the Arkansas Racing Classic representing the track's most prestigious prep races for the Kentucky Derby, gives the resort city its specific spring racing season that annually draws the thoroughbred racing market from across the South and Midwest to the most historically significant horse racing venue in Arkansas. Cloud Nine RV Park serves guests year-round in Garland County's mild Arkansas Ouachita Mountain climate, with the spring racing season from January through April, the summer lake recreation on Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine from June through August, and the fall Ouachita National Forest foliage season from October through November representing the three primary visitor demand cycles in the Hot Springs resort city calendar. Lake Hamilton, immediately southwest of Hot Springs on US-270, and the downtown's Bathhouse Row give the campground's guests the immediate recreational and heritage touring access that the resort-city campground position specifically enables. Reserve sites well ahead for the Oaklawn spring racing season and the peak summer lake resort period.

River Run Resort and Recreation

River Run Resort and Recreation sits along the Caddo River in Glenwood, Arkansas—a small resort of 15 full hookup RV sites in Pike County, 30 minutes southwest of Hot Springs, where the Caddo River's spring-fed current, clear water, and accessible float corridor have made it a destination for the Ouachita Mountain float trip tradition that defines Arkansas river camping at its most authentic. The Caddo's character — cold, relatively clear, spring-fed water in a corridor of mixed hardwood and pine — distinguishes it from the more turbid river systems of the Arkansas lowlands and gives float trips here the clarity and coolness that make them genuinely refreshing in the Arkansas summer. Fifteen sites with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer hookups provide the full hookup RV camping infrastructure, with WiFi connectivity supporting guests who maintain work or communication needs during their stay. River Run operates as a river outfitter alongside the campground, offering canoe, kayak, and tube rentals for Caddo River float trips — the combination of camping and outfitter services in a single property is the defining operational characteristic that makes River Run a functional all-in-one river camping destination rather than a campground where guests need to arrange float equipment separately. Paintball adds an on-property recreation option beyond the river activities, and dining options are accessible nearby in Glenwood. The Caddo River above DeGray Lake is recognized among Arkansas fly fishing and light tackle anglers as one of the more productive streams in the Ouachita Mountain region for smallmouth bass, spotted bass, and — during the March and April spawning run — white bass and hybrid striped bass that move up from the reservoir in concentrations that can make fishing exceptionally productive. The Caddo's pool-and-riffle structure in the middle reaches above Glenwood provides both float fishing access for anglers covering water by canoe or kayak and wade fishing opportunities at the gravel bars and deeper pools that structure the smallmouth population through the summer season. Lake Ouachita, north of the resort via Arkansas 84 and Arkansas 88, is the primary large-lake recreation resource within day-trip range — a 40,000-acre reservoir in the Ouachita National Forest with exceptionally clear water resulting from the low-nutrient geology of the Ouachita Mountains that sustains it, providing bass and trout fishing, scuba diving visibility rare for an Arkansas reservoir, and the surrounding Ouachita National Forest recreation infrastructure of camping, hiking, and ATV trails. Albert Pike Recreation Area in the Ouachita National Forest south of Glenwood on the Little Missouri River provides the whitewater canoe and kayak experience on the Little Missouri Falls Scenic Area in a National Forest setting. River Run Resort and Recreation operates through the Arkansas river recreation season, with the Caddo float trip peak from April through September when water temperatures are comfortable and flow conditions typically allow tubing and canoe navigation. The spring period from March through May provides the best combination of water conditions, comfortable temperatures, and productive fishing — particularly the white bass run in March and April. Hot Springs National Park, 30 minutes northeast, provides the historic bathhouse architecture of Bathhouse Row, the thermal springs that give the city its name and its original character as a nineteenth-century resort destination, and the Ouachita Trail's trailhead access for day hikes in the Zig Zag Mountains.
