Best in Arkansas: 2nd place

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.

One of Arkansas' greatest treasures. Less than a minute from the Kings River Falls Trail-head, and nestled alongside the headwaters of the Kings River in Venus Arkansas. This is a remote and rugged campground with caves, bluffs, swimming holes and river a plenty. This campground has a grand exhibition of the same sandstone formation that is responsible for the Whitaker Point (Hawksbill Crag) formation. Clovis like points have been found here, and so one might assume the bluffs and crags here have been inhabited for millennia. This 7 acre property is completely surrounded by Arkansas Natural Heritage-Natural Area. There are miles of trails and cooling waters at every turn. If you like Kings River Falls, get ready to fall in love with this Red Fern Campground. So pack your curiosity, lace up your hiking boots, and let the whispering leaves guide you. Kings River Falls awaits, ready to share its secrets with those who listen. Where time slows down and the modern world fades away. Every turn reveals a new wonder; a hidden waterfall an unnoticed cave or bluff or a moss-covered boulder. It’s not just a place; it’s an experience an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and into a world where magic still thrives and fairy tales come alive. Here, the forest whispers secrets, and the river sings a timeless song. Most of our campsites are just yards away from a public swimming area, which is shared between our property and the Arkansas Natural Area. You should expect local traffic at the main swimming area during your stay. We have a private swimming area on our property which is just a short hike from the developed campsites (Please ask the camphost for directions). There are miles of county maintained bumpy dirt roads leading to the site. Expect your vehicle to get dusty. There is a creek crossing that is required to reach the campsites. We recommend high clearance and/or 4WD or AWD vehicles. If you are unable to cross the creek, you will need to park in the parking area and walk across the creek to reach your site.

Site 1 - Kings River Falls Camping

Great spot! Definitely a trek to get out there but worth it. The water was a bit low in the two creeks but there were definitely areas that were plenty deep to get a good dip in. If the other campers are all swimming at the same time it can be a bit crowded but that wasn't an issue too often. There were two friendly beagles that would come by and say hello (and goodbye) haha.

Site 3 - Kings River Falls Camping

Absolutely loved this campsite! We were able to enjoy the river and creek, even though both were very low. Campsite was clean and ready for a tent. Only note is that there are two local beagles that wander around the area and can make leaving difficult, as they’ll walk under your car or run alongside as you drive. No fault of the campsite though!

Site 2 - Kings River Falls Camping

Yes, definitely yes.

First Hipcamp experience was fantastic, might have even set the bar too high. Top notch campsite, right along the water with lots to explore. Would recommend and hope to return someday.

Site 1 - Kings River Falls Camping

Very cool campsite! Right above a fun swimming hole, and near lots of cool trails and creek exploration. The Kings River Falls hike and swimming hole are excellent. The water levels were low during our visit, but the swimming holes are deep and very refreshing on a hot day! Highly recommend!

Fun camping area

We loved this site! We normally camp at state parks so it was nice to be out in the middle of the woods with less people. Other sites were a good enough distance away. Close to water and fun hikes! We even got a surprise visit from the local neighborhood dogs Lucy and Biscuit! They were so sweet. We had a truck and teardrop camper. Definitely wouldn’t try it with a bigger camper or small car due to the roads.
