Haw Creek Falls Campground, Ozark-St. Francis National Forests, Arkansas
Tent campers who can go fully off-grid will get the most out of this. Grab a creek-side site early for constant waterfall sounds, and the Ozark Highlands Trail runs right through camp. Fall is the clear sweet spot: foliage peaks mid-to-late October, temps are cool, humidity drops
No potable water, no trash service, decommissioned by the Forest Service so maintenance is minimal, vault toilets show it. Add reported theft when sites are left unattended, flash flood risk on the low-water bridge entrance, and zero cell coverage, and light-amenity campers will

Fall brings the best conditions. Comfortable days between 55 and 70°F, nights in the 35–50°F range, and peak foliage in mid to late October. The hardwood canopy turns gold and crimson while waterfalls and swimming holes remain accessible with lower humidity. Wildlife becomes more active before winter. Weekends see moderate crowds during leaf season. Flash flooding can happen during heavy rains, making the low-water bridge entrance impassable. Summer heat and humidity are manageable if you plan to cool off in the creek.
Fall offers ideal temps and peak foliage; reviews call autumn the best time.
