Golden Pond RV Park

Overview

Golden Pond RV Park offers a quiet escape in the heart of the Ozark Foothills. This family-owned destination provides a peaceful setting for travelers looking to slow down and enjoy the natural beauty of North Central Arkansas. The park is characterized by its serene fishing pond and well-maintained grounds, offering a blend of modern convenience and rustic charm. It serves as a reliable and welcoming home base for those who value a slower pace of life during their travels.

Location & Surroundings

Situated in Shirley, Arkansas, the park is nestled within a landscape of rolling hills and dense forests. It is located just a short drive from the Little Red River, famous for its world-class trout fishing and scenic vistas. The surrounding area is largely rural, providing a true sense of seclusion while remaining conveniently accessible to the recreational opportunities found at Fairfield Bay. The atmosphere is perfect for those who enjoy scenic woodland views and waking up to the sounds of local wildlife.

Amenities & Park Features

The park is designed to accommodate various rig sizes with spacious full hookup sites that offer both 30 and 50-amp service. Travelers can take advantage of the level pull-through sites, making set-up a breeze for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels. On-site amenities include clean restroom and shower facilities, a convenient laundry room, and a private catch-and-release pond that serves as the centerpiece of the property. Reliable internet access is also provided, ensuring guests can stay connected while enjoying the outdoors.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do within a few miles of the park. Greers Ferry Lake offers ample opportunities for boating, swimming, and cliff jumping, while the surrounding trails provide scenic routes for hiking. For those who enjoy golf, several championship courses are located in nearby Fairfield Bay. Additionally, the historic Shirley Railroad Trestle and the banks of the Middle Fork of the Little Red River offer unique local sightseeing and exceptional fly-fishing spots for visitors of all skill levels.

Who This Park Is Best For

This park is an ideal match for fishing enthusiasts and retirees seeking a quiet, long-term stay or a relaxing weekend getaway. Because of its peaceful environment, it appeals most to those who prefer nature-watching and quiet evenings over high-energy resort activities.

Amazing park! The owner is friendly and wonderful to talk with. The park is clean and well maintained. It is definitely worth making this a stop with your RV!!!

We were making our way back east after spending a couple of years out west and stumbled upon this gem of a campground! The owners and hosts couldn’t be nicer — they truly make you feel at home. There’s a beautiful pond full of fish, and our boys were in absolute fish heaven! While you’re there, don’t miss Fairfield Bay Marina — the lake is stunning! If you have the time, rent a boat and explore it yourself. You won’t regret it. Also, check out the Indian Rock Cave and Trail — it’s a short, easy hike that leads to a large cave with ancient petroglyphs. Such a cool piece of history and absolutely beautiful!

Golden Pond RV Park is a hidden gem! The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. We loved spending time at the fishing pond—caught a few nice ones! Plus, it’s just minutes from Fairfield Marina, which has boat rentals. Highly recommend this place!

Very nice property and the people were super helpful. Some spots are close to the road and it can be a bit loud at night

This was such a welcoming peaceful place. Austin put us down by the pond and it was a little private area to spend next to the woods and water. The kids got to fish and roast marshmallows. A family experience where everyone was nice and welcoming. Would definitely go back!

This is a nice small quiet campground. It's not big, and the feel is more like staying at a friend's house. I say this because our experience with owners/workers was friendly, curious, and he talked to us like we just dropped into his house. Which you kind of seem to. I believe they live on property and you use his pool. There is a hot tub and about 30 rv spots, a few seem to have seasonal/full timers. A few of those people we did talk to used the words "small community" and I agree. I would definitely return, it maybe small but if you like quiet its great.
