Camping in Arkansas
100 places to stay, each with its nearest town and where our information comes from.
Near Murfreesboro, Crater of Diamonds is the one place in the world where the public can dig for diamonds in their original volcanic source and keep whatever they find. People turn up stones every year, and the state park has a campground a short walk from the field.
The Ozarks hold most of the rest. Blanchard Springs near Fifty-Six has campgrounds by a cold spring below the caverns, and Mountain View is known for the music on its courthouse square. Beaver Lake near Lost Bridge Village, DeGray Lake near Bismarck and Greers Ferry near Heber Springs have Corps campgrounds on the water, and the Cossatot River near Wickes has some of the wildest rapids in the state.

A listing is a lead, not a promise. These are places we know about, not places we have confirmed you can sleep tonight. Rules, closures, seasons and fees change, and forest roads and passes close for snow. Check signs and local rules before you commit to a night somewhere, and tell us when something is wrong.
