Lake Francis Privacy Camp #1

2 sites · RVs, Tents850 acres · AR
Sitting in the middle of an 850 acre wildlife preserve, you will have plenty of privacy to enjoy a getaway in the woods without being disturbed by other campers. This site is relatively flat and easy to access on the edge of a field along the tree line of the forest. You may notice old stone chimneys standing throughout the woods where cabins once stood, back when Lake Frances was a resort area in the 1920s. On this camp site, we have a Micro Cabin that is wired for a generator (not provided) that sleeps 2, or bring your own tent and enjoy the view of the stars. We have several private campsites sprinkled throughout the forest reserve for you to stay at as you enjoy the Illinois River, hike, or bike the trails. The mountain bike trails run very close to this site and the White Water Park is about 2 miles down the gravel road. The trailhead for the paved bike trail is around the corner from this campsite and goes all the way down to WOKA. There are several miles of additional mountain bike trails in town and on the north side of Siloam. WOKA has 8 low-hazard whitewater features, seasonal rentals of kayaks, rafts, paddle boards and actual surf boards, and concessions, with shaded viewing. Changing facilities and restrooms are on-site at WOKA. The Siloam Springs Kayak Park is located up river on Fisher Ford Rd, and has access for swimming and tubing. If you enjoy riding dirt bikes or quads, there is the family friendly Off-road race track, Gas MX, directly across the highway from Woka. We also have dirt track racing at Arrowhead Speedway nearby in West Siloam Springs, West of the Casino.

The best camping near Arkansas River - Chouteau Lock and Dam guide

Overview

About

Chouteau Lock and Dam was built primarily for the improvement of the Arkansas River, but has fun recreation areas, too! Launch your boat and explore the 18.7 miles of navigable waters in the park. Anglers refer to the lock as the “Ditch,” an excellent spot to reel in a large mouth or striped bass. You’ll also find crappie, channel catfish, flatheads, and sunfish. If you want to camp, there are a few spots to choose from along the water. Head up to the small visitor center at Lock 17 for great views, and watch the commercial tug boat captains hard at work! You can also mosey on over to the nearby towns, and check out antique stores while taking in the unique culture: a blend of military families, Cherokee and Creek nations, and Amish communities.
