Hiking Trails
We encourage one to wander about the miles of trails that thread across the landscape. You'll visit bluff edge overlooks, plunging waterfalls, springs and even a rock shelter where native Americans once camped. The rock for the trail system at Batesville Mountain Campground was quarried, cut and stacked over an eight year period by just one man: Sparky.
Tip: Ask for a trail map at the gate.

The ECLIPSE
Our campgrounds offer some of the best spots for viewing the eclipse. We are located on the banks of the North Fork of the Cadron and lie directly in the very heart of the totality. This means over 4 minutes of total darkness in which our guests will have an unobstructed, panoramic view of this awe-inspiring event. Whether watching the skies from our open fields, from atop a rock pinnacle or from a boat floating upon the water you will find we offer more amenities, more fun, and more privacy at a fraction of the cost of our competitors.

There is no better way to spend a day in central Arkansas.
The Pinnacle Springs Run
Our most popular section, The Pinnacle Springs Run, is 4.5 miles long and offers a mix of easy and exhilarating class 1 and class 2 rapids.
