80+ acres all to yourself!! This beautiful and very secluded property, with river, kayaks, trails, and creeks is offered to only one group at a time to ensure peace, quiet, and seclusion. No other guests will overlap your stay. You will enjoy the peaceful solitude in nature completely alone! It's a great location for romantic getaways, silent personal retreats, yoga, playing in the river, or just spending quiet one-on-one time with your spouse or significant other. The last 1/2 mile of dirt road is sometimes rough, so cars with low ground clearance are not recommended. Campers on Thunder Mountain enjoy the entire property, including the unique outdoor bathhouse with outdoor tub and shower, amazing multi-level decks, kayaks, grill, trails, hammocks, and tubes - without the cost of the cabin. The cabin will be vacant during camping stays, but you can still enjoy the WiFi and other amenities outside. ($30-90/night camping; $190-280/night cabin - listed separately) Last minute bookings may have discounted rates. Camping bookings for 1 to 2 nights are sometimes available even if the calendar does not show due to cabin cleaning days. We'll try to move our cleaning days around to help you out if possible. If you see a price of $999, that is a date that can be opened up for you at a low price ($30-50) but will have some restrictions on check-in or check-out time. Just ask!

The best camping near Millwood Lake guide

Overview

About

Located in southwest Arkansas where the Little and Saline rivers meet, Millwood Lake is like that Pixar movie that everyone can enjoy. Fans of the area swear it has some of the best fishing in the country due to 35,000 acres of submerged timber that make excellent homes for many varieties of fish. Seriously though, we’re being a little modest. This lake has some of the best largemouth bass fishing in the nation, with a plethora of bass fishing tournaments and derbies to back up that claim.

Aside from being a holy grail for anglers, this is an excellent wildlife viewing spot featuring white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, squirrel, dove, rabbit, raccoon, armadillo, opossum, fox, mink, and beaver. Picture that Noah’s Ark of animals frolicking among remarkable flora life such as gum, oak, birch, pine, juniper, flowering shrubs, and wildflowers. Aw heck, stop reading this. Just get in the car and go!

Tips for snagging a campsite

Book your campsite well in advance to secure your spot amid the natural beauty of Millwood Lake.
