Setting up our Camp:
Upon arriving at Hot Springs National Park, we stayed at the KOA, located about 3 miles from the park. We are KOA members and found the campground to be complete with the amenities we like when camping. A general store, spacious full-hookup campsite with privacy, and a pool to enjoy! Be sure to choose a campground that suits your needs and be ready to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature!

Hiking Trails:
Hot Springs National Park is renowned for its extensive network of hiking trails that wind through lush forests, alongside serene lakes, and up to breathtaking mountain vistas. Lace up your hiking boots and embark on family-friendly trails like the Sunset Trail or Balanced Rock Trail. These trails provide the perfect opportunity to witness the park’s diverse flora and fauna while creating lasting memories. We took advantage of the 3.5 miles drive within the park, parked at the observation tower, and took a 1.6 mile hike around the baseline. As a family, we enjoy getting outside and exploring the beautiful nature we are able to see!

Soothing Hot Springs:
One of the highlights of Hot Springs National Park is, of course, its namesake hot springs. After a day of hiking, you can relax and rejuvenate in the therapeutic waters of the natural hot springs. Take a dip in the historic Bathhouse Row, where you can enjoy a range of spa treatments and learn about the park’s rich cultural history. Let the soothing warmth of the water melt away your cares as you bond with your family in this unique natural oasis. We didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to visit the actual bathhouse and utilize it, but we did walk through the visitors center and a museum of how the bathhouses were setup 100 years ago.

The Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas is an ideal destination for adventurous families seeking an immersive camping experience.
