One night camp, passing through…

Easy to find, private and exactly what I needed for the evening. Barbara was great; very responsive and accommodating.

A hidden gem

The Ponds is a magical little campground in the middle of the woods, but still close to everything. The directions were very clear and the campsite was easy to find. The road up to the Ponds is a narrow, bumpy, and rough ride, but it's brief and you'll be fine if you go slowly. We handled just fine in our 22ft travel trailer in rainy weather, but it may be more difficult with bigger rigs or those with low clearance. It is absolutely worth every bump, as this place was so cute and peaceful. We were lead up the road by Ward, who greeted us and showed us to our spot. As we were setting up, Barbara came to greet us in the rain with a very thoughtful and welcoming goodie bag, with smores/fire stuff and some fish food for the ponds. Both Ward and Barbara were so sweet and welcoming, which was very refreshing after a long day of travel. The property is magical, with a few ponds that you can explore. The main pond is beautifully lit at night with a cute walking path. It was just us and another camper, so it was very quiet and peaceful. We were just passing through, so we unfortunately could only stay for an overnight, but this would be a gem for a weekend trip, or longer! We would absolutely stay here again next time we pass through Arkansas. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely property and for your hospitality.

Ward’s place was great! We were welcomed with s’mores and then left to ourselves. Our dog loved walking on the path around the ponds. If you’re in the area and need a place to stay with RV hookups, check this spot out!

Ward and Barbara’s place is great! It’s nice and private with lots to explore. The gravel road to the sites is a bit daunting, but well worth it! Ward and Barbara gave us the cutest little gift bag with supplies for s’mores and some fish food for the ponds. It was lovely!

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.
