R.E.I has 17 mall stores across the United States, with 0 locations in Arkansas. 'The mountains are calling and I must go. Below is a list of R.E.I mall/outlet store locations in Arkansas, with address, store hours and phone numbers. You could do the same with the Clark NF in Arkansas. It was interesting because the river was flooded and it was washing away the dirt along the riverbank. We pulled in and found it was a nice spot right along the Mantanuska River. You could always call them and order forest maps of the specific areas you might be interested in, I think they run about $4 or $5 per map. We found a boondocking spot off the I Overlander app in Palmer off the old Glenn highway. I was going to provide a link to the Mark Twain NF website but when I got to it it seems as though it isn't working very well, I couldn't move to any other pages except the main page. There are lots of good canoeing rivers in this area as well and outfitters. I have a truck camper and have found no shortage of boondocking spots especially in the Winona/Van Buren district. I'm a little more familiar with the Mark Twain national forest in southern Missouri since I have spent more time there.

Many RVers also call it free camping or even wild camping because it usually doesn’t cost anything and many sites are far out in nature somewhere. There is plenty of boondocking areas in the national forests of both Arkansas and Missouri. Boondocking refers to this kind of camping which is also more officially known as dispersed camping or primitive camping. I've only canoed the upper portions, well west of where you will be. The lower portions of the Buffalo are fairly slow I believe. You won't be able to put-in and take out at the same place. Most likely you will find outfitters that rent canoes and provide shuttles. I won't get too attached, there's still too much to see all over the U.S. Just curious what class river is the Buffalo? Can I put in and take out at the same place or would I need to arrange a ride for a pick up or drop off? Are these easily available if necessary? Thanks. Thanks to all in advance!īoth are Truck Camper capable and proven! Some campsites are walk-in only, used by backpackers. I'm not out to test my rigs limits! The biggest thing is overhead clearance- My rig is about 12' 6' tall.Īny personal favorites? Good directions and what I'm likely to see/do there would be greatly appreciated. Where to Camp in Arkansas Arkansas National Forests and wilderness areas are a great place to start, including both the Ouachita National Forest and Ozark-St. I prefer not to get into anything too serious though. I have a 4x4 with a truck camper so we can handle fair roads. We like to hike, fish, kayak, and get away from others. I've done some searches here but would like to get some recent, personal advice. Some of the time, to save money and get away from everyone we would like to boondock in a couple of nice places. We will also drive through Kentucky (Western and Central). Thanks to advice from the nice people here it looks like me, my girlfriend, and my very large dog are heading to Northern and Central Arkansas/Southern Missouri in early April for about 15 days.
