This is a great place to picnic or RV camp. It is always a few degrees cooler in this valley in the summer months.
This is a lovely park near Huntsville. It has a large swimming pool, wonderful picnic areas and really pretty camping areas. Great for a day trip picnic or a week of camping.
We stayed here for 6 nights. The park was beautiful. The campsites were large and most were wooded. Full hook-ups were very nice to have as was the concrete pad for parking the truck and trailer. Since we were there from Sunday to Saturday (during the week) there were not many campers. One night it was just us and another family. There is no cell phone reception in the park. Bathrooms were very clean (no one there to use them). Ranger and staff were pleasant and helpful. We used this park as our base to explore NW Arkansas. Everything we wanted to see - Eureka Springs, Crystal Bridges, Buffalo River were all within an hour or so. There is a county road on one side of the park that you can hear some traffic noises but it isn't really that heavily traveled. Camp here!
Withrow is free entry. They do lots of free kid programs every summer. There is a pool available (minimal charge). Beautiful area and proud to say it's in my backyard. The staff is always friendly.
Summer is great with hiking, swimming and camping. we have had family reunions and birthday party's there. they have a small jungle Jim play area for small children. About eight miles from Huntsville City and 20 miles to Eureka Springs City. Roads are great for motorcycles.
We stayed a weekend at Withrow Springs and plan to return soon now that the pool is open. It is a lovely campground. The hiking trails are beautiful and not too long for a family with younger kids. The river is a great place to canoe and swim, but if prefer clean, chlorinated swimming, there is a pool. There is also a little stocked fishing hole, and really nice picnic areas for use even if you are just coming for an afternoon. Full hookups and level sites are nice. Lots of shady spots too. There is no cell service in the camp...and just barely at the park gift shop/office so be prepared to be mostly unplugged. The kids rode their bikes, we hiked in the trails, and relaxed. The Park Rangers organized kid and family activities most evenings we were there.
We love Withrow Springs. In the spring we dust off our camping gear and start off the season here. Our boys 3 and 8yo, love the hikes and spring. In the summer there is a pool that has a slide and water features. Great for spring, summer and fall.
We camped here for a week and had an enjoyable stay. The State Park camping fees are very reasonable. The RV sites are nice and roomy with full hook-ups. Plenty of nature to enjoy during your stay, with hiking trails, picnic areas, and a playground area for children. No cell phone or wi-fi access. Great location for 'day trips' to Eureka Springs. One warning - if you are not familiar with chiggers, you will be after camping here during mid-spring to early summer. Take plenty of insect spray.
It's a short drive from Eureka but it is well worth it. They have a nice visitor center and pool. There are several hiking trails too. Great place for an afternoon picnic.
We have camped at this park three times now and have always had a great campsite. The park is super clean, and the sites are very level and well laid out. The bathhouse is exceptionally clean and nice. The staff at the front desk are always cheerful and helpful. The really great thing about the park is that it is only one hour to Branson, and thirty minuted to Eureka Springs. We plan on making this a yearly event!
