Barbara’s Hipcamp was so so cute! Lots of little yard games, nice and private. And she was so sweet and welcoming! It was a little iffy at times driving down the gravel road to the campsite with my sedan, but we made it! And it was worth the drive! Loved it there and it was only 30 mins from Hot Springs National Park

Worth the drive!
What a lovely spot! This was one of the nicest places I have been in a while for certain. Awesome wooded and shaded area. Some nice "ponds" to go and sit by. Fire pits. Picnic tables. Truly better appointed than some RV parks I have visited. Owners were wonderful and accommodating. This was the real thing for certain and I would happily return.

Book it!
My wife and I loved this place. We were looking for a quick trip while waiting to meet family in Little Rock and picked this place as our first hipcamp spot. The place is quiet and peaceful. I didn't read the ad correctly and was shocked when I seen there was sewer hookup, along with electricity and water! I can't believe we had it to ourselves, the place should have been packed. The hosts, Barbara and Ward, and super nice and friendly! They have worked hard on this place and it shows. We enjoyed steaks and pork chops by the small pond, fed the fish and sit at the picnic table and just relaxed. At one point ali told me wife, I think I just spent a few minutes without a single thought going through my mind. We were only there 24 hours but it was great! We pulled a small camper behind a jeep. The road in wasn't that bad. We were also welcomed with an awesome goodie bag that actually had lots of goodies in it! I feel like it would have cost as much as what we paid for the spot. Thank you to the hosts, again, for going above and beyond to accommodate our needs while gone to Little Rock.

Solis Pocket 36B review
We took our solis pocket 36b one last trip before selling it. We had a wonderful scary tornado warning. The host even warned me of the chance. We were greeted with such a wonderful couple. We definitely will head back when we get the chance to go. Thank you!

Wonderful camp spot. Barbra was a great host. As a single female I felt very safe on their land.

Beautiful space
The Ponds is serene and was a pleasure. The RV hookups gave me easy access to fresh water even though I didn’t need the other bits. There was plenty of green space around the gravel parking to lay down my bivy roll. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of mosquitoes - I guess all the ponds have a healthy number of fish, like the big koi I fed, keeping the population down. The kind host left a nice goodie bag and plenty of firewood to cook a meal. The area is also well lit at night, with lots of small solar lights and lanterns around the water. Meal prep in the dark still needed a flashlight, but it was nice ambiance and enough to navigate on foot. It was kind of hard to leave in the morning! I just wanted to sit out by the pond longer.
