Tyler Bend Campground

Beautiful campground. Wish there were some electrical sites. And someone really needs to spray the poison ivy at the campsites. It’s bad. But gorgeous spot on the river.

This campground is beautiful! Lots of shade for tent camping. The showers and restrooms were very clean, with hot water! My group and I felt right at home camping at Tyler Bend. We will definitely be returning

We stayed on lot 16, it was not as close to the river as we anticipated, but the showers and restrooms were thankfully nearby. We visited Blanchard Springs Caverns, about an hour away. It was the most beautiful cavern I have ever visited, it was worth the money and trip. We later bought inflatable tubes and hiked from Grinder’s Ferry to Tyler’s Bend. The hike was beautiful and peaceful. We floated from Tyler’s Bend back to Grinder’s Ferry (where I parked my car). Unfortunately, we had to leave the campsites early because of the rampant tick population. The two of us had a total of 6 ticks on us, including a lone star tick. Later, we discovered innumerable ticks crawling at our campsite grounds around our feet and tent. There is currently an outbreak in the Southern US of ticks and it would have been helpful to know this before hiking!! I hope that Arkansas Parks will advise campers in the future of the tick population, especially during the summertime.

The campground was in very good condition and we liked there was a swimming spot / take out area for floating there on the property. We would definitely come stay again!
The only downfall was the hikes. We wished the paths would have been cleared better. We enjoy hiking but my kids didn't like plants always touching their legs. But we just went swimming instead.

Campgrounds were very clean and accessible to all needed areas, my friends and I loved it for our weekend stay

Great campground, pretty park. Highly recommend a higher than normal amount of bug spray and be ready for ticks.

Showers and bathrooms were very clean.

Beautiful campsites and enjoyed floating the Buffalo River.

Restroom was not clean

I was very disappointed that there are no first come first serve campsites and RV sites. The weekend we were there, everything was booked and many no shows. We had a family with kids that wanted to come camp with us but because it’s so easy to book online and no consequences for not showing up people don’t cancel their reservations. This is a major flaw to this system of booking, and a dis-service to the community of campers.

Great experience. Very well kept campground. They have regular campsites and walking campsites that are more primitive. Flush toilets and showers. If you can't have a good time here then you might want to get a life.
