RV Parks In Greenbrier, Arkansas

Greenbrier sits in the Arkansas River Valley foothills where the Ozark plateau begins its climb north. It's a small town with a big outdoors personality -- Woolly Hollow State Park anchors the camping scene, while Lake Bennett and the surrounding national forest lands offer miles of trails and water access. The town itself keeps things simple: a few local diners, a hardware store that still knows your name, and Friday night football that draws the whole county.

You've got several campgrounds to work with here, and here's the best part: some of them won't cost you a dime. That's right, free camping options exist if you know where to look. The mix leans toward rustic and natural -- this isn't a resort park destination, but that's exactly why some RVers love it. Full hookups are available at the main park, while dispersed camping options let you truly disconnect.

From your campsite, you're 30 minutes from Petit Jean State Park (one of Arkansas's crown jewels), 45 minutes from the Buffalo National River, and an hour from Hot Springs. Lake Bennett offers decent bass fishing and kayaking right in town. The Ozark National Forest spreads out to the north with hundreds of miles of forest roads and primitive sites. Conway sits 15 miles south for serious grocery runs and RV supplies.

Full-amenity campers will appreciate the developed sites at Woolly Hollow with electric hookups, hot showers, and a swim beach. If you're into boondocking or dry camping, the national forest roads north of town open up endless possibilities -- just bring your own water and be ready for gravel roads. Budget campers have it good here with multiple free options that still offer decent amenities.

Spring and fall bring the best weather -- mild temps, lower humidity, and brilliant foliage in October. Summers get hot and sticky (classic Arkansas), but the lake keeps things bearable. Winter sees fewer crowds and occasional ice storms that can make roads tricky.
