Steel Creek Campground

Steel Creek Campground sits along the Buffalo National River in Arkansas, putting you steps from one of the country's best float rivers with 23 of 40 sites within reach of the water. It's tent-only, primitive, and built for campers who want the real thing — no hookups, no noise, just the river and a sky dark enough to see everything. All 40 sites score well for quiet, the night sky is exceptional, and sunset-facing sites give you a front-row view over the ridgeline. Use Campscout to compare sites by water proximity, orientation, and privacy before you book.
