Escape to the heart of Arkansas's natural beauty with Buffalo River Glamping, where luxury meets wilderness. Nestled in the beauty of the rugged Ozark mountains, our glamping sites offer an unparalleled retreat for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those searching for a tranquil getaway. You can embark on nature walks through the surrounding wilderness such as nearby Lost Valley, Hemmed In Hollow and Whitaker Point. You certainly will not want to miss a visit to local waterfalls and trailheads, spend the day kayaking, rafting or canoeing on the Buffalo River or take a dip in one of the local swimming holes along the river. Tucked far away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Buffalo River Glamping was meticulously designed to provide an unforgettable retreat. You will be captivated by the harmonious blend of nature and tranquility. As you meander through the trails on the property, you'll be surrounded with vibrant lush greenery. You’ll experience a sense of seclusion, while the distant sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves create a soothing performance that serenades you into a state of relaxation. As the sun sets after a day of fun and adventure, it’s time to relax and unwind at your campsite. As you fire up the grill for a steak, burger or hotdogs, don’t forget to save room for a gooey batch of s'mores toasted over a cozy campfire. After dinner you might want to play a game of cornhole or horseshoes, or just relax by the community firepit and stargaze into the dark night sky. When you are ready to retire for the evening, you will certainly want to enjoy a warm shower in our climate controlled shower house. A comfy bed in your tent awaits you for a quiet relaxing night of rest, but be sure to listen out for the sounds of the whippoorwills, or an occasional owl before drifting off to sleep. While you are awakened by the melodious sound of the birds chirping and singing, and you catch a glimpse of the radiant morning sun, a well stocked coffee bar awaits you for your first cup of coffee for the day. There’s nothing more calming than relaxing on the deck while enjoying your first warm cup of perk me up while breathing in the fresh morning mountain air, and planning your fun and adventure for the day. When your vacation at Buffalo River Glamping comes to an end, and as you venture back home, the memories and adventures that you experienced will give you a profound sense of peace and contentment. We are located in the upper Buffalo River area where within minutes you can venture out to the many astonishing natural attractions in the area. Reserve your tent today and start planning your unforgettable escape to the Arkansas wilderness. We can't wait to welcome you and look forward to having you as our guest! A stay at Buffalo River Glamping is not just a vacation – it's an escape into a truly unforgettable experience that nourishes the soul and rejuvenates the spirit.

Most Thoughtful Glamping Experience

Group trip ·

The Wilderness

Katherine went above and beyond our expectations! She communicated very thoroughly before we arrived, making sure to meet us when we arrived to guide us to our tent. Our group of 6 fit in the tent with 2 bunk beds with plenty of room. The bathrooms are AMAZING, even having temperature controls. Everything needed for a shower is provided, allowing you to pack less! We were in the tent furthest from the bathrooms but it only took about a minute to walk between. The water is clean with no funny taste. She even provides wagons to transport your things when arriving and leaving. I actually ended up spraining my ankle on the first night, so I looked for a wrap to give my ankle support for our hike the next day. When I couldn’t find one in the first aid kit, Katherine went out to the store to bring me a wrap AND ice. Katherine was incredibly helpful the entire time! Overall, this was an amazing experience that we all want to return to!

My best friend and I stayed in the Sunshine tent. It was soooooo relaxing. The tent and bath house were clean, all the accommodations were wonderful. The bed was very comfortable, I slept so well. Despite the rain , we had a wonderful time. Tom was so helpful and friendly. Katherine was great at communicating with me. The directions were so easy. I will definitely be back for another stay!!

Took my GF Camping & it was Amazing

Tent ·

Walk In Camping #1

First off, I chose to stay here because of the bathroom reviews. It was the first time taking my gf camping who hadn’t camped since being a child and I wanted her to enjoy the experience while having a real bathroom. (So she will camp again lol) They truly are the cleanest bathrooms ever. Cedar lined, not even a bug spotted the entire stay in them and appeared to get cleaned daily. Brand new showers and the building is heated as well. They provide towels if you need them as well. 10 out of 10 on the bathrooms! We utilized one of the dispersed tent sites on our stay and it was amazing. Each site is nestled into its own area where you really can’t see anyone else. Very well maintained trail system through the woods to each campsite. Had a nicely built rock fire pit and they brought a fresh stack of Firewood and Pot of Water to the site each day. They have a friendly dog (Dolly) who loved attention when around the community areas which we loved! 10 out of 10 on the site! Only thing I would note is because the sites are all spread out through the woods, setting up camp took a couple trips if you don’t pack extremely light. We brought a large tent and camp grill along with a small camp kitchen so we had to do three trips down to the site which was fine, I would have probably packed a tad differently had I realized I couldn’t pull the car right up to the site. They do have carts to help get items to the site which was great. I highly highly recommend and we will stay again!
