Withrow Springs
Overview
Located in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, Withrow Springs State Park offers a peaceful retreat for RV travelers seeking natural beauty and quiet relaxation. Named after a local pioneer, the park is centered around a clear-flowing spring that emerges from a cave. It provides a scenic backdrop of limestone bluffs and lush hardwood forests. Whether you are passing through Northwest Arkansas or looking for a base camp to explore the region, this park delivers a classic state park experience focused on conservation and outdoor recreation.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated just north of Huntsville, AR, along the scenic Highway 23. This location serves as a gateway to the Ozark National Forest, characterized by its rolling hills and diverse wildlife. The landscape is defined by the War Eagle Creek, which meanders through the park and provides opportunities for seasonal water activities. Travelers will find themselves surrounded by dense timber and striking rock formations that highlight the unique geology of the Arkansas Ozarks.
Amenities & Park Features
For RVers, the park features a well-maintained campground with Class AAA sites, providing full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections. The sites are generally spacious and shaded by mature trees. Guests have access to a clean bathhouse with hot showers, ensuring comfort during their stay. Beyond the campsites, the park includes a seasonal swimming pool, tennis courts, and several large picnic pavilions, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors without leaving the grounds.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Nature enthusiasts can explore several hiking trails, such as the War Eagle Trail, which follows the creek and leads to a massive rock overhang. Anglers and paddlers often head to the creek for smallmouth bass fishing or seasonal float trips. For a day trip, the historic charm of Eureka Springs is just a short drive away, offering unique shopping and dining. Additionally, the park serves as an excellent jumping-off point for visiting the Buffalo National River or the vibrant city of Fayetteville.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for nature-loving families and couples who prefer a quiet, rustic atmosphere over a high-traffic resort. It is a perfect fit for RVers who enjoy birdwatching, hiking, and photography. If you appreciate full-service hookups in a secluded forest setting, Withrow Springs offers the right balance of modern convenience and wilderness immersion. It is particularly well-suited for those looking to escape the hustle of city life and reconnect with the natural landscapes of Arkansas.

Place was super peaceful and serene. Looking for a get away this is so worth the drive.

We were here for one night, Nov. 6, so the multi-colored leaves were falling. Just incredibly beautiful. We really liked the park. It had a nice layout, nice site spacing and not at all crowded. Clean, nice bathrooms. An added plus: IT WAS A DARK SKIES CAMPGROUND!!!! It was perfect: spectacular fall colors, clear sky during the day and a supermoon at night.

On the smaller side for a State Park but absolutely gorgeous. We booked our next visit as soon as we got home.
Charles Williams
Beautiful small park with crystal clear cold springs very close to parking. Friendly knowledgeable staff.

There really wasn't much to see unless your were there for a camping and hiking experience. The park did have a swimming pool, and a ball field and basketball court, as well as numerous hiking trails.

Small visitor center but gets the job done. Bathrooms were clean and the park ranges were helpful and friendly. They are working on the bridge nearby so I could hear the construction going on while hiking but still a beautiful trail with overlook and creek below. Would definitely recommend the war eagle trail with overlook.

I completed the war eagle overview trail. Took me roughly 50 minutes to complete with some added exploring of the small "cave" (a bluff with an indent). The trail is well maintained, and the park ranger at the information booth/store was attentive. My only complaint is that the store lacked a variety of items to purchase. Was hopping for a better selection. Overall, it was a very nice park I would recommend for a short hike.

The war eagle trail is the best part of the park. As of 9/8/24 the other two trails are currently closed due to multiple trees being down. Park at the pavilion along 23 and walk across the highway to the trailhead to the hike. The sign is somewhat hidden behind some trees. The lookout branch has several spots with great views. If you check out all the views and complete the full loop it will be just at 2 miles. It’s a decent little hike with some incline. A little buggy in September. The little camp store is cute and has some nice quality little gifts ie mugs and t shirts.

I had a blast here a week ago. I left work at lunch it was such a beautiful day. The lady at the visitors center was in a great mood and a joy to talk to. I got a Withrow Springs shirt and hit the trails. My 2 dogs and I had a blast and the place to ourselves. We hiked Dogwood and War Eagle. I need more of this in my life!

What a beautiful place to camp! There's nature trails all around and a look-out spot about 2 miles away. The campground itself is very clean, and there's clean restrooms located in two spots, which is pretty much walking distance from any spot. Sites 1 and 30 are pulled through sites, so there's no need to back the camper up. Sewer, water, and electricity is available at each camper site, the electrical hook up is 30 amp or 50 amp, and each site comes with a fire pit, grill, and tent pad.
