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.

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.

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.

Broken Arrow Campground

36 RV Sites

Broken Arrow Campground in Eminence, Missouri, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites in the heart of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet. Double pull-through and amperage-specific pull-through categories mean no backing at any site, with river frontage and a beach. Thirty-six sites run in double pull-thru, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The double pull-through accommodates two rigs traveling together, and 70 feet handles a long coach with a tow. An all-pull-through layout means no backing at any site. Restrooms handle the practical side. A river runs the property with a beach for swimming. The amenity set is deliberately minimal, and here that is the point — guests come for the water, not for programming. Pets are welcome. The Ozark National Scenic Riverways is one of the most naturally spectacular regions in the American Midwest and the first national park area established to protect a river system. Crystalline spring-fed water winds through limestone bluffs and hardwood forest in a landscape that has changed remarkably little. The Current and Jacks Fork Rivers are the main draws for float trips, Alley Spring's historic mill and Round Spring are close, and Big Spring pushes 286 million gallons a day. Summer float season drives the heaviest demand, with spring and fall offering cooler water and far easier availability. Reserve well ahead for June through August.

Eminence Cottages and Camp

7 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Eminence Cottages and Camp in Eminence, Missouri, offers seven full-hookup RV sites and four tent sites in the heart of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Pull-through categories join cottages, a hot tub and sauna, and kayak rentals in Shannon County. Seven pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20/30-amp and 30/50-amp service, sized to 80 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The 80-foot capacity is generous for a small property. Four tent sites and cottages round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. With seven RV sites, reserve well ahead. Pets are welcome. Kayak rentals are available on site, which matters here — the rivers are the reason to come, and having boats on the property removes the outfitter logistics. A hot tub and sauna, pavilion, sports courts, volleyball, corn hole, and walking trails fill the grounds, with hiking, canoeing, and kayaking from the area and a golf course nearby. 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. For guests wanting immersive access to the Ozarks' most celebrated float rivers with comfort infrastructure for multi-day stays, this is the deepest access point in the region. Float season runs spring through fall, peaking in summer. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Dogwood Springs Campground

8 Cabins

Dogwood Springs Campground in Jasper, AR, offers RV camping with full hookups alongside 8 cabins. Contact the campground for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length — those specifics aren't published here. One requirement to handle before you arrive: all reservations require an online liability waiver submitted before check-in. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a pavilion, and a playground cover the practical side. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, creek frontage, and walking trails fill the grounds, with fishing, hiking, kayaking, swimming, biking, birding, and planned activities. Jasper is the Newton County seat in the Arkansas Ozarks, where the Buffalo National River makes its most dramatic passage through limestone bluffs and cedar hollows. The Boxley Valley elk herd, the Upper Buffalo Wilderness, and the Ozark Highlands Trail are all close. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Submit the waiver in advance, and reserve early for Buffalo River float season.

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.

Great Escapes RV Resort Branson

115 RV Sites, 37 Cabins, 1 Tent Site, 4 Glamping Sites, 5 Cottages, 1 House, 6 Wagons

Great Escapes RV Resort Branson in Forsyth, Missouri, offers 115 RV sites, 13 cabin and cottage units, and four glamping sites on the Table Rock Lake corridor, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 60 feet.

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.

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.

Big Creek RV Park/ Arcadia Meadow Campground LLC

Big Creek RV Park and Arcadia Meadow Campground in Annapolis, MO, offers full-hookup RV sites carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV, with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table at each site.

Contact them for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills, and a barn cover the practical side. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, a pond, creek frontage, sport courts, volleyball, horseshoes, a playground, and walking trails fill the wooded grounds, with swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, gem panning, birding, and stargazing. Annapolis sits on Highway 49 in Iron County in the St. Francois Mountains — some of the oldest and most geologically remarkable terrain in the American Midwest. Johnson's Shut-Ins, Elephant Rocks, Taum Sauk Mountain, Fort Davidson, and the Black River are all within easy reach. Rates and availability are on the booking page.

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.
