Along the clear ribbon of the Spring River, Riverside Resort's Riverfront Premium Sites offer an old-school RV experience with modern hookups. Located at Riverside Resort • 2154 Weatherstone Road, Mammoth Spring, AR 72554, these roomy sites sit among tall pines a short walk from the town and the national-scale spring that gives the region its name.
At the Riverfront Premium Sites you'll find full-service basics for RV travelers: 30-amp electrical hookups, fresh water connections, a convenient dump station, a sturdy picnic table and a fire ring. The design favors space between rigs and views of the riverbank, where limestone outcrops and riparian sycamores frame slow-moving water. The spring-fed river here is fed by Mammoth Spring, one of the largest natural springs in the eastern United States, and the clear water attracts paddlers, anglers and wildlife photographers.
This is a place built for low-friction stays: check-in after 2:00 PM, check-out at 10:00 AM, and a two-night minimum for most weekend bookings (three nights over holidays). Families appreciate the level ground for kids to play, the easy road access for tow vehicles, and the short stroll to Mammoth Spring’s town center if you need supplies. Quiet hours and a 24-hour guard shack for late arrivals make arrival logistics straightforward.
Beyond comforts, the site sits inside a distinctive Ozark landscape: cherty limestone, river gravel bars, and mixed hardwoods that host spring wildflowers and seasonal warblers. Anglers chase rainbow trout and smallmouth bass in the Spring River; river otters and great blue herons are common sights at dawn. If you want a quick howl of local history, Mammoth Spring State Park preserves a late-19th-century stone bathhouse and interpretive signage about the town’s role in regional railroad commerce.
Practical tips: bring levelers for irregular pads, plan garbage disposal at the dump station, and keep campfires to the provided ring. The resort’s layout balances service hookups with room to stretch, making it a practical base for paddling, fishing, or exploring the nearby bluffs of the Ozarks.
