One of Arkansas' greatest treasures. Less than a minute from the Kings River Falls Trail-head, and nestled alongside the headwaters of the Kings River in Venus Arkansas. This is a remote and rugged campground with caves, bluffs, swimming holes and river a plenty. This campground has a grand exhibition of the same sandstone formation that is responsible for the Whitaker Point (Hawksbill Crag) formation. Clovis like points have been found here, and so one might assume the bluffs and crags here have been inhabited for millennia. This 7 acre property is completely surrounded by Arkansas Natural Heritage-Natural Area. There are miles of trails and cooling waters at every turn. If you like Kings River Falls, get ready to fall in love with this Red Fern Campground. So pack your curiosity, lace up your hiking boots, and let the whispering leaves guide you. Kings River Falls awaits, ready to share its secrets with those who listen. Where time slows down and the modern world fades away. Every turn reveals a new wonder; a hidden waterfall an unnoticed cave or bluff or a moss-covered boulder. It’s not just a place; it’s an experience an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and into a world where magic still thrives and fairy tales come alive. Here, the forest whispers secrets, and the river sings a timeless song. Most of our campsites are just yards away from a public swimming area, which is shared between our property and the Arkansas Natural Area. You should expect local traffic at the main swimming area during your stay. We have a private swimming area on our property which is just a short hike from the developed campsites (Please ask the camphost for directions). There are miles of county maintained bumpy dirt roads leading to the site. Expect your vehicle to get dusty. There is a creek crossing that is required to reach the campsites. We recommend high clearance and/or 4WD or AWD vehicles. If you are unable to cross the creek, you will need to park in the parking area and walk across the creek to reach your site.

Interesting stay....

No response from host after booking. Puppies abandoned on grounds, and still no response from host. Debating if we need to make another trip there to help them out. Would not stay there alone. Make sure you have another person with you.

A beautiful area surrounded by fall foliage, close to trails, and secluded. Campsites were kept clean, bathrooms very easily accessible. Would stay again!

The land was absolutely beautiful, the drive in as well. A local basset hound named Biscuit came and gave us a visit! Only down side was the campsite were a little closer together than I would of liked, maybe a 20ft gap between, but good for meeting people if that's your thing. Probably feel more secluded in the summer with more leaves between us. But the area was incredible, even without the water. Will have to visit again after more rainfall.

We enjoyed our time! It was nice to get away and the lack of cell service only added to how much we enjoyed our time. The written directions sent were easy for us to follow even without a working GPS. The campsites aren’t labeled which I believe causes some confusion for campers and saw multiple people get stuck in the crossing - would recommend parking in the parking area if you don’t have 4WD so you don’t ruin your vehicle. It is pretty close to the campsites. Overall, it was a very beautiful area with lots to see, but most of the water is dried up right now due to the lack of rain in the area recently. The fall colors more than make up for it though. We would stay again and recommend this campsite

It was a great time, we enjoyed the camping spot. Would absolutely go back for a second time and would recommend to anyone. It was super remote and off grid which is what we were looking for. At one point there was even a small beagle who spent his time with us at the campsite, a nice addition to our trip. The campsites were very well taken care off.
