About Ozark Campground

Ozark Campground offers a refreshing cold spring experience nestled along the Buffalo River in Arkansas. This natural swimming hole features clear, cool waters perfect for a revitalizing dip. The dramatic bluff across the river adds a thrilling element with several jumping ledges, making it a lively spot for adventurous visitors.

Getting There

Located just off Arkansas Route 7, south of Pruitt and before Jasper, Ozark Campground is easily accessible by car with no hiking required. Ample parking makes it convenient for families and groups looking to spend a day by the water.

What to Expect

You can expect crisp, chilly water that brings relief on hot summer Arkansas days. The atmosphere buzzes with activity as visitors enjoy swimming and the natural rock jumps. Facilities remain primitive, so you experience an authentic connection with the Buffalo National River environment without crowds overwhelming the space.

Tips for Visitors

Plan your visit during summer when the water is inviting and weather warm. Bring water shoes for exploring the rocky shoreline and towels for drying off after jumps. There is no fee to enter, but pack out everything you bring in to help preserve this pristine Arkansas swimming hole.
