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.

This campsite offers a serene escape into nature, where the sounds of the flowing creek lull you to sleep. Visitors appreciate the secluded spots that provide a sense of privacy, though some mention the lack of clear site markers can cause confusion. The adventure begins with a drive that requires a bit of clearance, making the journey part of the experience. While the absence of cell service adds to the disconnect from daily life, it also means there's no quick resolution for any issues that might arise.

Lugar hermoso para desconectarse de la ciudad rio al pie del campamento y un lugar que sana un corazón lastimado!!! Donde no hay señal que es lo mejor para tener que desconectar al 100x100 de todo un mundo de sonidos no llamadas no mensajes no redes sociales recomendado para ti que buscas paz y desconectar para conectar contigo mismo

So much adventure!
I love how secluded the spot was and how much of an adventure it was just passing over the creek to get to our spot. The kids had a lot of fun next time we'll rent spot number 5 for an even more personal space. Even though the space we chose which was number four was very secluded and had a great view and we really enjoyed having the creek right by our spot the sound of the rushing water was phenomenal and even though it rained it was a wonderful wonderful trip we will definitely be back!

The space was amazing! Right on the river so we fell asleep to the sounds of the water flowing. Unfortunately at 3am the weather took a turn but Sam went above and beyond by coming down and checking on us to make sure we were okay. He even came in the morning to double check.

Being in Nature
Everything about this site is peaceful and Serene. We enjoy tent camping and we love being in nature. No matter what site you have you will hear the creek. We really couldn't have been happier we will definitely be returning.

It definitely requires a vehicle with high clearance to get there. But as for the site, simply exquisite!

Beautiful site and we had such a great time! Very easy walk to the falls and the two sweet dogs hanging out with us all day was a plus. This site was secluded from the other sites but still easily accessible to the restrooms.
