This is a beautiful campground. Lots of shade and a lot of nice level spots. The restrooms were very clean. The hiking trails right from the campground were excellent. We could hike right to the bathhouses for a great soak.

This is a small campground with good restroom facilities. I found the proximity to the road, which cars traveled all night, to be negative. Clean but not a quiet campground.

The campgroung was very well kept and the camp volunteers were very nice.

Nice campground; very clean, everything kept up & working. One thing to note: the septic access was at the back & you will probably need 2 hoses to use it. (I got a helper so i could hold it in place while he opened the dump valve). Also, the road can get quite a bit of traffic in the morning & several trucks were very proud of the noise they made.

We camped along the creek. The sound of the creek was very relaxing.

Great campsite. Bathrooms were clean! Showers were for campers only. Grills and fire rings! Loved the hike into town right from the campground. Host was sweet and helped with electrical problem. Will be back

The campground is very nice. There are trails nearby for hiking. If you want to have a fire, be prepared to drive to get some or bring your own. Unless you are brave enough to bike on the busy road, driving or hiking is how you are going to get around the area. Some of the sites are a little difficult to get into than others simply because of the hilly area, but manageable.

Despite there only being one available campsite, it was nice having close access to the rest of the park. This campsite is primarily for RV's, however, tents and car camping are allowed. This is a small park, and it's in the middle of the town, Hot Springs, so keep that in mind when making your reservation. Flush toilets are available, along with wifi. My only complaint is that my firewood was stolen by someone from my site. In all, I had a great experience, and the camp host was very helpful.

Great campground. Sites are a good size. Everything works as it should. Very clean bathrooms. Good tree coverage.

@LindaS8448936 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #3

Grounds are well kept and I found my site to have adequate privacy from other sites.

@ScottD5141264 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #36

We were in Site 36, next to the creek. Very peaceful listening to the creek flow by. Sites are close together and a little tough to get into with a longer trailer (we have a 32 ft. TT). Site was mostly level, sewer hookup is slightly uphill so dumping tanks was a little difficult. Bathhouse is very clean and private (have to have a code to get in). Bathhouses in Hot Springs are close by and nice to visit.

One of my favorite campgrounds with NPS

Gulpha Gorge is a beautiful campground located right in Hot Springs National Park. All sites have full hookups. They are a bit tight but we and our travel partners 44 5th wheels fit into sites 23 and 25, with a little room left to spare for our trucks. These sites back up to Gulpha Creek. The best part? If you have the America the Beautiful pass, the cost is only $17/night instead of $34. The Gulpha Gorge trail starts right across the creek and is considered a moderate to strenuous trail for .8 miles. This is part of the Hot Springs and North Mountain Trails which you can also reach from behind Bathhouse Row or from Hot Springs Mountain Dr. Lots of hiking trails. Soak in the pools at Quapaw Bathhouse. Stop in at the Ohio Club, the oldest bar in Arkansas.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
