Water and electricity are located at each site! Just minutes away you have boat access to the Arkansas River at Sweeden Island Park AND Lake Atkins through the Lucky Landing launch site. This site is a sportsman's paradise as it is also conveniently located to the Galla Creek Wildlife Management Area, also just minutes away. Also, we are located right across the river from Petit Jean State Park and a few minutes from quaint downtown Atkins.

The 10 acres are open to explore and include three RV/campsites with water at each location and a gorgeous gully that empties into the Arkansas River. When the river is at a normal level a rock shelf lines the entire length of the river to make fishing and sunbathing, a breeze! If you want to venture out a bit, may we recommend the many offerings of Mount Nebo, Petit Jean Mountain, Mount Magazine, Altus, Russelville, and Conway; all located within 30 minutes to an hour from the campgrounds.

Dog-friendly camping in Arkansas guide

Overview

So, you want to take your dog or cat camping in Arkansas? You'll find all kinds of pet-friendly camping options. For private RV parks and campgrounds, read the rules and FAQs carefully. Many allow pets, though some put limitations on the number, size, or breeds. Campsites booked through Hipcamp also detail whether pets are allowed. It's important to check, since landowners may have farm animals and pets of their own onsite, and these rules and requests ensure the safety and comfort of all four-legged friends. Arkansas state parks offer pet-friendly cabins and allow pets in campgrounds, though pets may not be able to stay in some unique glamping accommodations. Most national park and national forest campgrounds allow pets, so consider sites in Hot Springs National Park, along the Buffalo National River, or in Ozark-St. Francis National Forest and Ouachita National Forest to enjoy the mountains, hills, and waterways of the Natural State.
