We are staying at Kettle Cottage and everything has been absolutely amazing about our stay so far. The owners are so incredibly nice and helpful, the cottage is beautiful and functional and everyone we have met at the campground has been truly welcoming and making the whole experience exactly what we wanted. Eureka springs has truly been the best then I have ever been to and I plan to enjoy thr rest of our stay and plan to come again!

The campground is clean though the bathrooms need improvement. The campsite needs new rock and the poison ivy is all around. Growing on the trees. Our fire ring was down in an area surrounded by poison ivy. So it wasn’t usable. The place was quiet but pretty cramped. The roads around the campground need maintenance. The walking path is nice.

We loved Cabin #2 for our week's vacation! It was clean, comfortable and the location was perfect for all of the Eureka Springs attractions. We would definitely stay again!

If you're looking for a place to pitch up in the Ozarks that doesn't feel like a parking lot with hookups, Kettle Campground is your answer. I've stayed at enough campgrounds to know the difference between a place that's merely functional and one that's actually been thought through. Kettle is the latter. What drew me in was simple: it's built among trees and has a genuinely cozy feel, a real contrast to the bare, exposed campgrounds that pass for options elsewhere along the highway. (Tripadvisor) The shade is real, the quiet holds, and it somehow manages to feel tucked away even though it sits right on Highway 62 on the east side of town, within city limits. (Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce) There's a trolley stop directly on the property (Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce) , which meant I could leave the car parked all day and still get downtown for food, shopping, and live music without any hassle. That convenience is hard to overstate in a town like Eureka Springs, where parking is its own adventure. Check-in after hours was seamless. My paperwork was waiting on a board outside the office, wifi password included. (Tripadvisor) The facilities are genuinely well-maintained: a clean bathhouse, laundry, pool, pavilion, and playground (Hipcamp) , all kept in better shape than you'd expect from an independent campground this size. They won a 2024 Campspot Award for Top Small Campgrounds (Campspot) , and honestly, it tracks. This is a place run by people who actually care. I'll be back.

The restrooms leave a lot to be desired. When we got there there was a dirt ring in one mens shower & a dirty stool. The women's had vomit in the sink. The whole 4 day stay had a big bug in the middle of the ladies. That shows the floor does not get mopped often. The mens shower stall has the water from the mat runs outside the entrance door. The walls above the shower stalls have specks which might be mold & they would not wipe off for me. The rest of the camp is the usual cramped. The guy at the front desk responds when he might be there. I didn't see his hours???

We loved our stay! Just happened to find it on our travel back from the holidays. 10/10 would recommend. Clean, quiet, friendly. And the town is really unique. Would recommend staying here, and checking out the area!!

Loved this place, good size site with a fire pit, picnic table, water, and electric. The ground is rock, you likely won't be able to drive stakes so be prepared for that.

Had the best experience. Check in/out desk was the friendliest human I have ever met. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our return to The Kettle Campground. It had been a while since we last stayed there. In fact, the last time we stayed we were "tenters". Well, not anymore, we now travel and stay in our camper and had been looking forward to returning to The Kettle. We found the campground to be even better than we remembered. The campground is meticulously maintained. The grounds, the bath house, the pool, the children's play area were top notch. You can even play horseshoes. If you don't want to drive to the historic shopping area, no problem. The campground is on the trolly route. If you just want to relax, The Kettle Campground is perfect! The campground is nestled among a grove of beautiful trees and each spot is spacious. And it is so peaceful! There is even a nice walking trail that is perfect for a walk with you four footed family members. One more thing, the campground staff are friendly and helpful. I'd like to give a shout out to Chris. He made us feel welcome and was so accommodating.

Lots are small, not very level, good for small campers and small RV tow behinds. They have a couple lots suitable for larger RV motor homes with pull through lots. Goof shade, but could be hard to maneuver if towing a vehicle behind RV. take your time and you will be fine. Close to everything you need to have access too.

Staff is very helpful and friendly especially Chris camp ground is very clean and shaded Main Street in very close and the city trolley stopes every 30 minutes during the day

My husband and I stayed one night here, was supposed to be two but our first night was terrible. There was another person in a RV next to us that decided to come out yelling and cussing at the top of his lungs at 3am, again during the early morning hours and he was out yelling and screaming stomping around right outside our vehicle before we left around 8:30 am. We immediately called the campground to let them know what was happening, the girl at the counter was very nice and professional and assured us that she would let management know and they would call in the next couple of hours and process a refund for us as we definitely did not want to stay any longer. Cool, great. Well no phone call ever came and we were only refunded for one night instead of the two. I was really disappointed that no one from management ever reached out to us, I guess they weren't too concerned about it. Definitely will not stay again, I suggest you find another campground that is nicer and more professional.

Amazing Host! So nice and shaded, clean bathrooms . Wonderful showers, perfect location with a trolly stop on site. 🐾🐾🐾dog friendly. Walking trails. Vending machine. They do have a nice look pool for summer. Really cool pavilion. A play area if you have kids. Definitely check em out!!!

Great campground with fhu and can accommodate bigger rigs in some sites. Very good wi-fi and cell service. Clean facilities and laundry room and a trolley stop to get you around ES. The star of this campground has to be the customer service, though. Chris checked us in and he is an absolute gem! He was so helpful and informative and just a genuinely happy person. We absolutely will be back!

We booked one night online. Got to the site just before their 10am opening and I used the bathroom. It was horrific. Horrific. Filthy with huge and numerous ‘Daddy Longlegs’ spiders everywhere in both of the stalls. If you think about it - if the bathroom was cleaned regularly (which it clearly was not) how and why would such large, mature spiders be everywhere? And I’ll say it again - filthy (I didn’t include pics of the condition of the toilet in the pics I took - I should have, because it was disgusting, but I wasn’t planning to use them in a review - just to freak out my spider-hating husband who made the reservation here…) The place obviously had a majority of long-term/permanent inhabitants. I enjoy rustic but this was very run-down and ill-managed. We found it via a 3-year-old Good Sam catalog. I cannot believe it meets their standards, and will be checking with them on its conditions. We left without even checking in or even attempting a refund (which I read in the reviews was next to impossible, while my husband was finding another place), went to another campground a short distance down the road that includes the word Wander, and had such a wonderful time there that we extended our stay an additional 3 nights. It was the antithesis of Kettle Campground. In case the owners would like to refute, our reservation was under my husband’s name, which is different from mine, and we were the people who should have checked in in 6/26 for one night.
