The Buffalo Farm

 Ratchford Buffalo Farms is nestled in the heart of the Ozarks on roughly 500 acres. Where our Buffalo,  Cattle and other animals graze in the meadows and fields and roam the hills and hollows and drink from 11 free flowing springs. My family has lived in these parts for over 150 years ever since my great grandfather settled here from Georgia. This land has been used for may things. From raising cotton, corn, hogs, cattle and at one time my family was one of the largest strawberry producers in the state and always  raised a large vegetable garden. I can still remember my daddy plowing this ground with a big black team of mules. For the  past 20 years we have raised Buffalo.   But the commitment has always been the same.  Taking the time to help your neighbor, even if he does not ask. Keeping your word,  a man is only as good as his word . Treating people fairly and with respect, if you can not respect others you can not respect yourself. And for each generation to leave the land in better shape than when you started farming it.

Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park

We love our guests and we love your pictures.  Thank you all so very much.

Pinnacle Springs Recreational Park lies within a private nature reserve of hiking trails, waterfalls, bluffs, cascading streams and wildlife -- it is all here.   The campground is off the radar -- there are no highway signs or advertisements -- yet offers comfortable and safe refuge to guests whether staying in a tent, camper, RV or one of our cabins.   

On site you can find swimming, paddling, fishing, hiking, a 6-acre foraging field, and 9-hole Frisbee golf course, a Ninja rope course with zipline and slackline, rope swing, bouldering, climbing, psicobloc and more outdoor pursuits than one has time.   And Woolly Hollow State Park, Cove Creek Natural Heritage Area, and Greer's Ferry Lake all lie within biking distance. 

New to camping?   Need a flush toilet, kitchen sink and faucet? 

Hate bugs, thorns or wild critters?  Steep rough roads?  Dust and gravel?

 Or simply don't like being outside in the weather and in a primitive setting? 

Then this is  NOT the place for you!!  NO!  NO!  NO!  

But if you want to sneak away and find a lovely little place to unwind and bathe in a forest under a tall canopy of standing pines and oak trees, then Pinnacle Springs is where you need to be.   Pinnacle Springs offers stream side camping on the banks of the North Fork of Cadron Creek -- central Arkansas' premier whitewater stream -- and is less than an hour's drive from Little Rock (only 15 minutes from Conway and I-40).

Camp by the side of a river.  Camp at the foot or atop a towering bluff.  Camp in a cave.    Camp in a riparian jungle.  Camp in total solitude or  camp with all your friends and family.   We offer so many choices one can select a site that perfectly fits your needs.  And if you want total seclusion -- a real "wilderness experience"  and are willing to "hike-in" a couple of hundred paces we can provide that too.  FYI:  If you are unaccustomed to STEEP dirt roads do NOT reserve a site on the island -- sites atop the ridge in Camp Toasty are much easier to access.

No traffic noise here!   Rather, you'll be soothed by the sound of cascading water echoing off the bluffs -- great for outdoor sleeping and keeping the air fresh and alive.  Many of the camp sites are equipped with a heavy picnic table, fire pit and grill, lamp post and level tent site.   And if you like to swing -- we have trees!   Hammocks and slack lines are the best no trace tree things ever!

And although Pinnacle Springs Campground lies in an off-the-grid wilderness setting there is good cell phone service, a water hydrant can be found near the front gate behind the store, and electrical outlets for recharging phones and such can be found on the ridge at nearby Camp Toasty.  And from March through November hot water showers are even freely available.

Guests are encouraged to explore any of the trails that crisscross the property especially if you like waterfalls, scenic views, cascading streams, and goat trail bluffs.  The Tanner Pool Trail is especially popular after a heavy rain,  Bluff Trail offers a nice perch for viewing the river below, and the 1+ mile "Circuit Trail" is a great way to start one's day.   

Our place is a bit rough, rugged and unruly yet we call it home -- a place where everyone regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, political views, religion, national origin, or culture is welcomed to come enjoy nature's marvelous works and wonders.  We love everyone!!  So we invite you to come down to the Cadron and sit a spell.   Unwind.  Kick back.  And enjoy!

CELL PHONE COVERAGE:  While we recommend that you leave your cell phones at home or packed away we also understand the importance of "staying in touch".  Overall cell phone coverage throughout the watershed is pretty good BUT there are a few deep bluff-lined valleys on the creek where one may lose a signal from time to time -- either walk around the bend or to higher ground and you'll usually find a signal.  Nevertheless our evaluation:  VERIZON - Seemingly good signal everywhere.  AT&T -- Good in campground but a couple of "weak spots" both upstream and downstream (taller bluffs).  T-MOBILE - Good signal atop the ridge but close to nothing on the creek,  USCellular - The worst.  Those camping close to store are invited to connect to our local area wifi signal -- CadronBoy.  

BTW#1:  We don't take kindly to folks trashing our property.  We are a "LEAVE NO TRACE FACILITY" thus if you bring it, you take it!  Best to also leave axes,  shovels and hammer and nails at home.  Thanks.

BTW#2:  This is DIY camping!  If you are one of those people that has a "hard time figuring it out on your own" we strongly encourage you to stay elsewhere.  There are a lot of nice campgrounds in Arkansas that are more accessible, better staffed, and have some really nice amenities.  

So happy to have Dome Life's endorsement - Kellie and Cody are absolutely awesome!!

The camping is awesome but if spring and have a little extra time please consider getting out on the creek and really enjoying nature's marvelous works and wonders.

Want an adventure to go with your camping?  We can deliver.  

 Psicobloc!  Nothing like a little psycho bouldering where if you lose your grip you plunge into deep water.  

The slough framed by irises and dogwoods -- pretty nice.

The campground lies at the edge of thousands of acres of wilderness.  Lots of places to explore.

We stayed here some nights when we first purchased this magnificent property. We fell in love with this view and the almost constant breeze. 

North side of the 3 acre pond at sunset - not every night, yet we have some cool ones most nights.

Barefoot Gardens Camp & Learning

Back in 2018, when the land was FIRST acquired, there was only a water spigot and a 14x14 structure that was basically a glorified shed... Now we refer to it as the Gallery Cabin. Its slowly gaining local art work pieces for display and purchasing...

Now, 7 years later, we have created many fun spaces and built many structures for our many hobbies and passions. We have built a small workshop, a rock cutting/shaping/soil mixing area, Shipping Container workshop and decked out a shed with a work station and a long marble counter top.

We have built a 3-level tree fort with a crow's nest and a 10x12 screened Bungalow in the woods. This is a great spot to have less chance of bugs at night, still have electricity for Lights and phone charging.

We have also created a large garden with 9 beds, using various aspects of Permaculture, including several Hugelculture beds. We created a comfortable and private outside shower in the upper corner of the garden, that is perfect after a long day of having our hands in the soil! (Named the "Flower Shower" as we grow various seasonal flowers, Sage and some beautiful Poppies that can be seen from the shower.) It's now equipped with Propane heat for optional warm showers year long.

Because this is Arkansas, and we live at the top of a ridge, our topsoil is mainly clay and rocks... so one of the first endeavors we started was creating a 5 bin mass composting system to build up our soil for our gardens. We found grocery stores and coffee shops to donate hundreds of pounds of old produce and coffee grounds. Since our arrival we have made over 6000+ lbs of beautiful compost and continue to do so today!

We are a pet friendly place. We also get rare bookings being a  SnifSpot ( Dog Park) But all dogs must be leashed or proven ( caretaker onsite approval) of being off leash trained. The only Exception is Miguel-dog. He has been on the property with us for 3+ years. Very gentle and calm. He usually needs to greet you, then you can be free. He can be separated if need. (Aggressive dogs are NOT allowed. Thanks.)
We have a resident, neutered male cat named, Hikari aka "Ari." He is dog friendly. However if your dog chases cats, please keep your dog leashed.

We have planted 10 fruit and nut trees and started a 'Berry Orchard'. We also have a small vineyard consisting of about 15 trained Muscadine vines. Closer to the house is a wonderful Herb Spiral that showcases of up to 20 medicinal and cooking herbs and we have a dozen more herbs in the other garden and around our land as well. We also have been planting a food forest outside the garden area, growing PawPaw trees, Gooseberries, Jerusalem Artichokes and Opossum grapes for the critters... so they may leave our actual garden alone, but they can still come close to get a tasty snack. 

We also built a large chicken coop for 4 egg layer chickens, 4 ducks and 3 guineas that free range our yard during the day. Our numbers vary year to year.

There is over a mile plus of trails through our woods, criss-crossing over our seasonal springs that we have built bridges over. Our trails go up and down the mossy topped valleys and ridges with many places to comfortably stop and rest along the way.

One aspect about all this that we are extremely proud of, is that we have built 75% or more out of RECLAIMED MATERIALS and RECLAIMED LUMBER (and made it look good!)

--  Learn more about this land: --

We are located only 12 miles from I-40, just north of Vilonia. Our Homestead Farm: Barefoot Gardens, is on 8 acres of hardwood forest, where we use various Permaculture techniques to grow over 140+ varieties of various herbs, fruits, vegetables, trees and flowers! 

The nights here are peaceful and filled with the soothing sounds of treefrogs. Fireflies dance in the night air as the stars peak thru the leaves overhead! (We commonly camp in our own yard for this exact same reason!)

Besides multiple camping locations and a beautiful forest, we also host over a dozen Educational Workshops and Homestead Demonstrations! Small Retreats and events are also being brought forth. Most all workshops/demonstrations are kid friendly as well! (Workshops are listed below in this description. They are also listed in the 'Extras' section of our HC profile.)

A firepit with a metal cooking grill are also provided. A compost toilet is attached to the backside of the platform as well. Multiple hiking trails intersect near and around this area!

- Tent camping is available in various locations throughout the yard and forest, with available access to electricity and water (No A/C or heat, please!)

- Plenty of great places to hang up hammocks! (Including our 3 level Tree fort!)

- Fire Pits available next to campsite locations, the bungalow or at the community area by our Rocketshop.

- An outside heated shower located in the large garden  AKA 'The Flower Shower" (warm season only.)  

- Over a mile of hiking trails, with bridges that cross over seasonal springs and moss covered ridges. Trails go up and down several valleys and ridges, so there are several rest spots along the way. (Trails have been marked with Blue trail markers, for easy navigation!)

- A large Herb Spiral featuring 15+ medicinal/cooking herbs and over a dozen more in our main garden and yard as well!

- Fresh picked greens, veggies, berries and Farm Fresh Chicken eggs from our chickens are available for purchase too! (Located in the 'GOODS' section of our HipCamp profile! (Fruit/Veggie/Egg availability change depending on time of year.)

Besides all the beauty, trails and fun here at Barefoot Gardens... we also host multiple informative and educational workshops! More info about these can be found in the 'EXTRAS' section of our HipCamp profile!

** Although we don't have a swim hole on site... there is a Beautiful Secret Swim hole only a short drive away! Or you can rent the use of our small pools.
