Where the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains break into the open expanse of the Arkansas River Valley, you’ll find a region of towering pines and the small town of Sheridan, Arkansas. Enjoy the quiet pace of life, or venture out to the nearby capital city of Little Rock or the historic town of Hot Springs. Or, stay in Sheridan to explore the Civil War history. For a relaxed stay, pitch a tent or park an RV on a private campsite or book a deluxe cabin or unique glamping getaway, each offering a personality all its own. Public campgrounds can be found nearby on the Arkansas River, including a Corps of Engineers park and some city/county campgrounds. While many state parks are located in the region, most of these are day-use only, but you can venture toward Hot Springs to find both national and state park campgrounds.
