There’s nothing like a retreat into the forest for a family fun getaway. Mulberry Mountain Lodge is the gateway to just about every outdoor adventure in Arkansas you could ever want. Let’s spend the night at the campground and explore!
For a restorative camp out in the mountains you should consider heading over to Ozark.
Mulberry Mountain Lodging & Events really does have it all. They're off of one of the prettiest scenic drives in the state (the Pig Trail), nestled in the Ozark National Forest near the Mulberry River, and have access to all sorts of outdoor activities. Plan a whole wedding here or just spend a couple of nights at their campground.
Address: 4117 Mulberry Mountain Loop, Ozark, AR 72949
Stay the night at the lodge, one of their cabins, or head to the campground.
Since most folks are bringing either ATVs or horses, RVs are a fairly popular choice for camping. RV sites have electric and water hook-ups for easy overnight stays. The area does have primitive tent sites (with access to a bath house) as well.
