1523 Hwy 270E Mt Ida, AR 71957
Scout troops, family reunions, or church groups who need bunkhouses, a dining hall with a flat-top grill, and a swim lake in one package. Midsummer midweek visits hit the sweet spot: highs in the mid-70s, cool nights, and fewer crowds from Hot Springs.
Couples or solo campers wanting any privacy will find none here. The site layout is open and communal by design. Factor in no cell service, a landline under repair, and facilities reviewers describe as increasingly broken before you commit.

The elevation is 5,200 ft. The campground, pack it in, pack it out, stretches out along Hobble Creek with the canyon rising sharply among mature maple and cottonwood trees. The sound of the creek can be heard throughout the campground and about half the camp sites are adjacent to the creek. Because the camp sites are close together and lack of middlestory, privacy is minimal. Firewood is available for a fee,
Open May 4 through September 1
The parking aprons are paved.

Summer through August delivers the best conditions. Daytime highs settle in the mid-70s to low-80s, with nights cooling into the 50s. Comfortable for campfires without the oppressive heat found at lower elevations. The lake is warmest for swimming, and all services stay open. Weekends draw moderate to busy crowds from family groups and organized outings. Midweek visits offer more solitude.
Open May 4–Sept 1; summer temps mid-70s–low-80s; listed as the best season.
