RV Parks In Greenbrier, Arkansas

35.2340° N, 92.3876° W

Quick Overview

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.

Traveling to Greenbrier by RV

Highway 65 cuts straight through Greenbrier running north-south, connecting you to Conway (15 miles south) and Harrison (75 miles north). It's a well-maintained two-lane that handles RVs just fine, though you'll slow down through town where it narrows to one lane each direction. From Little Rock, take I-40 west to Conway, then 65 north -- about 50 miles total and an easy drive.

If you're coming from the west on I-40, the Morrilton exit (Highway 9 north to 65) saves you from backtracking through Conway. The scenic route? Take Highway 16 east from Ozark through the national forest -- it's curvy and gorgeous but not recommended for rigs over 30 feet or if you're towing. Stick to 65 if you've got a big setup.

Fuel up in Conway or Greenbrier proper -- there's a Murphy USA and a local station on 65. The Walmart in Conway (exit 125 off I-40) is your last chance for major RV supplies and groceries before heading into more rural territory. Cell service is solid in town, spotty in the national forest.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials

Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Greenbrier, Arkansas, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.

Check your RV insurance coverage

A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.

Know your roadside assistance options

RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.

Decide about an extended warranty early

Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.

Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees

A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.
