RV Camping near Glenwood, Arkansas

River Run Resort and Recreation

River Run Resort and Recreation sits along the Caddo River in Glenwood, Arkansas—a small resort of 15 full hookup RV sites in Pike County, 30 minutes southwest of Hot Springs, where the Caddo River's spring-fed current, clear water, and accessible float corridor have made it a destination for the Ouachita Mountain float trip tradition that defines Arkansas river camping at its most authentic. The Caddo's character — cold, relatively clear, spring-fed water in a corridor of mixed hardwood and pine — distinguishes it from the more turbid river systems of the Arkansas lowlands and gives float trips here the clarity and coolness that make them genuinely refreshing in the Arkansas summer. Fifteen sites with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer hookups provide the full hookup RV camping infrastructure, with WiFi connectivity supporting guests who maintain work or communication needs during their stay. River Run operates as a river outfitter alongside the campground, offering canoe, kayak, and tube rentals for Caddo River float trips — the combination of camping and outfitter services in a single property is the defining operational characteristic that makes River Run a functional all-in-one river camping destination rather than a campground where guests need to arrange float equipment separately. Paintball adds an on-property recreation option beyond the river activities, and dining options are accessible nearby in Glenwood. The Caddo River above DeGray Lake is recognized among Arkansas fly fishing and light tackle anglers as one of the more productive streams in the Ouachita Mountain region for smallmouth bass, spotted bass, and — during the March and April spawning run — white bass and hybrid striped bass that move up from the reservoir in concentrations that can make fishing exceptionally productive. The Caddo's pool-and-riffle structure in the middle reaches above Glenwood provides both float fishing access for anglers covering water by canoe or kayak and wade fishing opportunities at the gravel bars and deeper pools that structure the smallmouth population through the summer season. Lake Ouachita, north of the resort via Arkansas 84 and Arkansas 88, is the primary large-lake recreation resource within day-trip range — a 40,000-acre reservoir in the Ouachita National Forest with exceptionally clear water resulting from the low-nutrient geology of the Ouachita Mountains that sustains it, providing bass and trout fishing, scuba diving visibility rare for an Arkansas reservoir, and the surrounding Ouachita National Forest recreation infrastructure of camping, hiking, and ATV trails. Albert Pike Recreation Area in the Ouachita National Forest south of Glenwood on the Little Missouri River provides the whitewater canoe and kayak experience on the Little Missouri Falls Scenic Area in a National Forest setting. River Run Resort and Recreation operates through the Arkansas river recreation season, with the Caddo float trip peak from April through September when water temperatures are comfortable and flow conditions typically allow tubing and canoe navigation. The spring period from March through May provides the best combination of water conditions, comfortable temperatures, and productive fishing — particularly the white bass run in March and April. Hot Springs National Park, 30 minutes northeast, provides the historic bathhouse architecture of Bathhouse Row, the thermal springs that give the city its name and its original character as a nineteenth-century resort destination, and the Ouachita Trail's trailhead access for day hikes in the Zig Zag Mountains.

Treasure Isle RV Park

14 RV Sites, 1 Cabin

Treasure Isle RV Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers 14 RV sites and a cabin on Lake Hamilton, with 30 and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Four categories cover concrete back-ins and pull-throughs, gravel pull-throughs, and lakefront back-ins, with boat docks, a boat ramp, kayak rentals, and an outdoor pool on site. Fourteen sites run in concrete 30/50-amp back-in, concrete 30/50-amp pull-through, gravel 30/50-amp pull-through, and lakefront 30/50-amp back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lakefront category is worth requesting early. A cabin serves guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. A multi-night discount applies automatically — 10% off stays of 7 to 21 nights, excluding cabins and kayak rentals. Lake access is the draw. Boat docks, a boat ramp, boat storage, boat rentals, and kayak rentals put guests on Lake Hamilton directly, with fishing, boating, and swimming from the property and an outdoor pool as the managed alternative. A playground, gaga ball, and corn hole fill the rest. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs sits in Garland County on the Ouachita reservoir chain. Hot Springs National Park's Bathhouse Row, the Oaklawn racing calendar, and the city's arts scene are all close, and the thermal springs have made this a resort destination since the early twentieth century. Summer lake season and the Oaklawn meet drive demand. With 14 sites, reserve well ahead.

Leisure Landing RV Park

33 RV Sites

The park is rated big rig friendly, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a clubhouse, a fitness center, a dump station, and RV storage. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Boat docks give guests direct access to Lake Hamilton for fishing and boating — this is one of the few genuinely lakeside RV parks in the city.

Finish Line RV Park

1 RV Site, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

Finish Line RV Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers three RV sites on paved, level pads with a spa-inspired bathhouse, a 12-foot waterslide and splash pad, and fiber-optic internet, behind a gated entrance. A dry camping category joins two fully furnished RV rentals — the Triple Crown Kodiak and the Winning Reflection. Three sites span dry camping and two fully furnished RV rentals, sized to 48 feet, with site WiFi, fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Confirm hookups and amp service with the park when you book — the dry camping designation means arriving self-contained, while the furnished rentals require no rig at all, which is a genuine option for anyone flying in. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and concierge service handle the practical side. A 12-foot waterslide and splash pad anchor the property, with a pavilion, dog park, walking trails, and picnicking filling the rest. Hot springs and a casino are close, and a lake is nearby. Pets are welcome. Concierge service and fiber-optic internet at a three-site park tell you the positioning — this is a boutique property rather than a highway stop. The address is 263 Golf Links Road, and the geography is excellent. Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort is a half mile away, downtown Bathhouse Row is 2.1 miles, Lake Hamilton is 3.9, and Magic Springs is 4.2. Hot Springs National Park is the only national park inside a city, and the thermal springs have drawn visitors for two centuries. Oaklawn's racing season from January through May drives the sharpest demand. Reserve well ahead for race dates.

Catherine's Landing

81 RV Sites, 18 Cottages

Catherine's Landing in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers 78 RV sites and 18 cottages across 400 acres with a mile of Lake Catherine shoreline, five minutes from downtown Hot Springs. Sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service and cable TV, take rigs to 65 feet, and include waterfront back-in categories, with a zip line, splash pad, and boat ramp on the property. Seventy-eight sites run in premium back-in and waterfront back-in configurations, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 65 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighteen cottages serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. Two policies to note: the resort enforces a ten-year age restriction on RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval if you send a photo in advance, and all holiday weekends require a three-night minimum. The 400 acres carry the recreation. A zip line runs the property, a splash pad and outdoor pool cover the swimming season, and a boat ramp and fishing pier give direct access to Lake Catherine's clear, Ouachita-fed water. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and fishing all run from camp, with bike rentals, a dog park, playground, clubhouse, pavilion, and pond besides. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs National Park is the smallest in the system and the most historically layered thermal spring community in North America, with Bathhouse Row, Oaklawn racing, and the Mountain Valley Spring heritage all five minutes away. The resort operates through the Arkansas season, with summer lake recreation and the Oaklawn racing calendar driving demand. Book holiday weekends well ahead, and confirm RV age approval before arrival if your coach is over ten years old.

Hot Springs Campground & RV Park

5 RV Sites

Hot Springs Campground in Hot Springs, AR, offers 5 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 32 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric. The 32-foot maximum is worth checking against your rig before you book — this campground suits smaller trailers and van conversions rather than coaches. Laundry, a clubhouse, a bathhouse, and WiFi cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. At five sites there's no recreation program, and none is needed: the campground sits beside the national park boundary, and guests spend their days in it. Hot Springs National Park is one of the oldest federally protected reserves in the country, established in 1832 as the Hot Springs Reservation — four decades before Yellowstone. Downtown Hot Springs and Bathhouse Row are five minutes away, with boating nearby. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Confirm your rig fits the 32-foot limit before reserving.

Cloud Nine RV Park

40 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Cloud Nine RV Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers 40 full-hookup RV sites and three tent sites with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Extra-wide back-in and pull-through categories join a fitness center, clubhouse, recreation center, and walking trails. Forty sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. The sites are extra wide, which matters more than most guests expect — room to open both awnings and set up outside without crowding your neighbor. Three tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A fitness center, clubhouse, recreation center, walking trails, dog park, billiards, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. A casino, golf course, mountains, and a national park are all nearby. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs is unlike anywhere else in the country. The thermal springs drew visitors long before Hot Springs National Park was established — the only national park inside a city — and Bathhouse Row's preserved 1920s spa architecture still operates. Oaklawn's racing and gaming, the Ouachita Mountains, and Lake Hamilton and Lake Ouachita are all close. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Ouachita conditions, with Oaklawn's racing season running January through May and drawing steady demand. Reserve ahead for race weekends and for peak fall color.

Every site takes all three amp services, so there's no adapter guesswork, and at 75 feet the pull-throughs handle long coaches without unhitching. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a general store cover the basics, and pets are welcome with a dog park on the grounds.

Little Rock RV Park

24 RV Sites

Little Rock RV Park in North Little Rock, AR, offers 24 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 78 feet. Sites come in two overnight categories, perimeter and pull-through, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. The park is rated big rig friendly and the 78-foot maximum means a long coach with a toad fits on a pull-through without unhitching — the whole design here is built around getting in late, plugging in, and getting out early. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. There's no recreation program, and the park doesn't pretend otherwise. What it offers is a clean, level, full-hookup site with easy access, which is exactly what a travel night calls for. North Little Rock sits across the Arkansas River from Little Rock, putting the state capital, the river trail system, and the interstate corridor all within a few minutes of the gate. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Because the park runs on overnight traffic, calling ahead on a busy travel weekend is worth the minute.

Laundry, a clubhouse, and a dump station are on the property, and pets are welcome. There's no recreation program, but the surrounding country carries its weight: Bill J. Barber Park, Cedar Lake Recreation Area, two golf courses, and Cavanal Hill — billed as the world's highest hill — are all close by. Poteau sits in Le Flore County in the Ouachita Mountain foothills, just off Highway 112, within easy reach of the town's restaurants and services. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Pull-thrus are the ones to request if you're running a long rig with a toad.

26 RV Sites

Beaverfork Lake RV Resort in Conway, AR, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet.

All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a snack bar, and a clubhouse cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park on the grounds.
