I am a well-seasoned traveler, and I don't give stars freely. But....Flamingo Springs Trailer…read moreResort with its kitschy, retro travel trailers set around a lovely pool with all sorts of fun things to keep you entertained has definitely earned theirs. Situated in the Ozarks of NW Arkansas, down a lovely country lane just south of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, FSTR provides a quiet place in the country to sit by the pool, wander the forest near the resort, or party and play with your adult friends (they are 21 and up, except on special kid-friendly dates.) As the sign says, there's no wi-fi, so talk to each other. We did - making quick friends with a couple of girlfriends from Hot Springs and a young couple from Oklahoma. We took our 4WD and toured some of the dirt roads and trails just south of FSTR, enjoying a brief visit to a very busy Devil's Den State Park. If you've forgotten something, they probably have it. Seriously, there's everything: Atari, VHS player with a good movie collection, a jukebox, matches, new toothbrushes, shampoo/conditioner, a pizza cooker, knives, forks, etc...AND the kitchen sink!! This silly, but lovely, trailer hood includes trailers with a theme to fit anyone's fancy. These include a "Friends" themed Airstream, a rock-n-roll themed Shasta (my abode for the weekend,) Candy Cane Lane (an Airstream that definitely has the perfect-over-the-top Christmas decorations inside and out!) and others that provide the perfect mix of whimsy, community and comfort. Speaking of comfort, the only thing that kept Zack and Laura (the outrageously creative and talented proprietors of this crazy place) from getting that 5th Star was the mattress in my "room." Although, the thinner mattress is likely retro-correct, as I know these cute trailers weren't known for true comfort, just convenience, my nearly 50-year-old body needs a bit more cushion to be truly comfortable while sleeping. Upgrading to a slightly better quality mattress would have gotten them a higher score on the comfort scale. Cell Service: Spotty, But you wont care. Wi-Fi: None, I hope they NEVER add it. Can you find it: Yes, provided you use a better app than the older, never been updated, GPS in our Jeep. Good Thing: Kitschy Decor, Clean campers and bathrooms. Bad Thing: Mattresses. Favorite Thing: Instant sense of community. Final Thoughts: Visit FSTR in NWA. Pretty awesome.

A stroke of serendipitous star shine fate has permitted me to make this my 100th review.... (The…read morenudge to proceed with all the pressure of your first dance at prom came from my Yelp comrade, Eddie S.) Triumphantly galloping in as the most epic, intriguing magnificent setting which I have been honored to tiptoe across the threshold of in NWA to date & ascertain shall never be surpassed.... The front part of my current domicile is undergoing demolition/resurrection & I am always lookimg for kitsch, captivating lodging & knowing my genre well; rewound to this site at least 200 times knowing it is a proverbial absolute within my bizarre wheelhouse!!!! I went to work full of as much glee as Rumplestiltskin beholding his royal baby from fruition of straw spun to gold expedition & enticed all the OB nurses with pics in joining my dreamy, campy adventure & many retro photo ops.., Fellow much admired nurse advised me to peruse their website as she felt the young wife had lost her husband to cancer just a few moths prior.... Exit was quick & I cried all the way to my car as I could not diminish waves of stomach surging, heart angst for her loss & resurgence of how precious life should be the ever pervasive glisten & glow within our souls, our step, our genuine speak & overextended deed & reciprocal love ... Hesitation sat heavy in my chest, my throat & Pepcid lined stomach before I called & was enraptured with joy when the sweet Laura returned my call & I booked the Shasta camper right away!!! Dumbfounded & stunned I asked, "How are you doing ?" Immediately wishing I could retract & she said, "I guess you follow our site & well you know I am doing the best I can running this but, I have a lot great support from Friends and Family, they are so wonderful.." I just stuttered & apologized as I have no words for a woman of this caliber, demeanor & honest fortitude..., Packed up all the girly accoutrements such as s'mores, grill stuff, libations, sunscreen & bikinis & Peyton I began our journey!!! Enamored my the rambling greenery, a abundant & rogue wildlife & upon final arrival the site spoke boldly of embodiment & fulfillment of a dream with ounce by ounce lovely precision! Highly animated & individually themed retro airstreams & campers surrounded a cute round pool with charcoal grills & lawn furniture & purple gnomes reminiscent of "Raising Arizona" or your a Hollywood set of a 60's summer getaway... Invention of a dreamscape surrounded in ice cream floaties, VCR tapes of the "Lost Boys" & "Sixteen Candles" with a jukebox that intermittently plays Elvis, "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack & board games from Yahtzee to Hungry Hippos.... We made a memory & it was intricately etched out, dreamt & wished for by these Angels who loved believed & never hesitated in following through despite Amy obstacles or opposition. Terriyaki burgers over charcoal grill, s'mores over campfire, slumber party in our dreamsicke orange camper with White snake cassette tapes.... Nothing & I do mean nothing will ever take this away because the beauty of a vision fulfilled by service savvy, salt of our earth, loving people who respect, love & adore each other gleams in every facet of each detail of what I consider another familial home! Godspeed & love with all my being to the beautiful Laura, her adoring children & the man who beams from above!!! This place is your next summer stop off & cell phone service is fondly not an option due to being past the grid mark and agar not!!!

Whatever we needed or asked for they were ready to accommodate us. At one point we needed a gas can and they provided it. We got there late (10 pm or so), when the front office was closed. We called the phone number posted on the front door and someone came within 10 minutes to let us into the house we rented. We rented the Sears house. The place comes with a washer and dryer. This is great for those on bikes, this means you can carry less clothes and wash your jeans and shirts along with your "unmentionables" every night. Laundry detergent, shampoo, body wash, and towels are provided. I would definitely return and stay here. We bought a few beers and relaxed at night. The room has satellite television which is great to watch the news and local weather daily. The A/C worked and cooled the house great. We ate breakfast at the local gas station down by Ozark. It was a great diner with big breakfast plates. The place is called Hillbilly Hideout. If you are on your motorcycle, remember that the ride up to the Sears house is tricky. There's pavement for a short stretch but then there's loose gravel/rocks. This can be a little difficult to cruise or ride on with two wheels. Makes your front wheel dance left to right quite a bit.

They've been there for over two years now and the park doesn't seem to care that they are permanent there. They still treat them like crap. My daughter is professional and sensitive and caring of others and doesn't deserve what they're doing. Basically they got mad at her for telling someone not to speed through the park and said that it's their job to do that but they don't do it.

The RV park is amazing. First of all, the playground is nice for kids of all ages. They have a…read moresmaller playground and a larger one. They also have a separate swing set which is nice for older kids to sit on and listen to something. In the same area they have a pavilion which has chess, checkers, a grill, and several picnic tables. The chess board can occupy people for a while. Second of all, the staff is nice and friendly. I went in to get a cup of ice and they went and got a cup of ice. Next, they have two separate pools. One that has a game room and is twenty-one and over. The other one was family friendly and was next to the playground. It also had a small splash pad. The showers were clean. Most of them had hooks except for shower one. Also, the park had two areas. One for the long term RVers and one for the people who were only going to stay a few nights. The cabins and treehouses from what I could see were nice. In addition, it is not far from the town but not inside it which gives a sense of peace. If you are a mountain biker or hiker it is not far from the hill/mountain. Finally, the staff were very accommodating. We needed two extra nights and they were so nice and let us have those nights. When we left without our things on the table, they called and asked if we forgot them. And when we were confused they said that we were supposed to leave that morning. We said we needed another night, then they were able to accommodate the change. Overall, an amazing place and experience.

Absolutely beautiful campground right on the Mulberry River. We live in Fayetteville and have…read morecamped all around AR. This is now our favorite! We hike, bike, float, and off road and this place is prime for river floats and off roading. One of the most beautiful waterfall hikes (Devils Den) is right up the road as well. The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming. There is a mile of river front where you can camp (tents, vans, small trailers) and plenty of large RV spots in the main area (50 ft from water). Oh and the owner brings her kangaroo on Saturdays who is so friendly and can be pet. If you need a shuttle for your float the owner can help you out (spots to float 15, 8 or 3 miles) and bring your ATV bc there is a ton of trails on the property. All the campers have been really nice and respectful of quiet hours too.

One is the Reception Hall and the other is the Ceremony Hall where you gather before the ceremony. If the weather is nice they have an outdoor area, again overlooking lake for the ceremony which is stunningly beautiful. This hall can also be used for the rehersal dinner. They have accommodation in various cabins and Glamping options. The cabins are great. With decks, kitchens well stocked with equipment, fridge/freezer, stove, comfy (firm mattress) beds, outside hot tubs. The owner Scott has really but together a great event/wedding venue and he is so great to work with. There are so many other things on offer, like a small lake area with a beach area, paddle boards a beach house if you want to get out of the sun and they have loaner jeeps, to go exploring with and to get around the property in. We are already thinking we will possibly use Horsehead Lake Lodge for a future Family reunion.

Soooo much potential! Just misses the mark (more on that later) - beautiful location, level lots,…read moretent camping, reasonable rates, lawn well maintained, quiet - really a wonderful setting. First, the camp ground is hard to find - but still the only camp ground for miles - so that is a factor, but not much of one - especially since the two closest camp grounds, were failed ventures (one closed down - the other resembled a scene out of the movie "Deliverance.") Because of our previous two attempts to find a camp ground - we called ahead to make sure they had pull thrus - we only planned on staying one night and didn't want to unhook our tow vehicle. The lady that answered was very pleasant - even warned us not to listen to our GPS for directions or we'd end up at a bridge with an 8 foot height restriction - she gave us alternative directions - which were spot on. There is no office on site and no camp store. Camp fees are posted and paying the fee is on the honor system (at least for overnighters only). The park had cabins that looked like a failed project - there were four - all in varying states of decay. Most campers looked to be long term - and apparently must use their rig showers! The showers showed little care. - the floors were covered with dead bugs, shower curtains moldy. Husband said one of the toilets in the men's restroom was marked "pee only," the other needed a good cleaning - and was unacceptably filthy. All-in-all - if you have an RV that has its own usable showers and toilets and are looking for a place to find peace and quiet - this camp ground might fit your needs.
