About Rush Campground

Campground in Arkansas.

Rush Campground offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Arkansas, where natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities abound. Nestled in a scenic area that showcases the best of the Natural State, this public campground welcomes RV travelers seeking authentic outdoor experiences without unnecessary frills. The setting provides easy access to some of Arkansas's most compelling attractions while maintaining that quiet, contemplative atmosphere many RV enthusiasts crave.

The location is ideal for travelers interested in history, geology, and natural wonders. Ghost town exploration is a major draw in this region, with Rush itself having a fascinating past tied to Arkansas's mining heritage. History buffs will find themselves transported back in time as they wander through preserved structures and learn about the area's boom-and-bust cycles. The landscape tells stories of resilience, pioneering spirit, and the complex economic forces that shaped the American frontier.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding terrain offers excellent opportunities for hiking and nature study. The Ozark region's topography creates beautiful vistas and interesting geological formations. Whether you're a casual walker looking for gentle paths or a more serious hiker seeking trails with elevation changes and scenic overlooks, the area accommodates various skill levels and interests. The natural beauty becomes especially striking during spring wildflower season and fall foliage, when visitors find themselves surrounded by vibrant colors and renewed growth.

The campground attracts a diverse crowd: families wanting to introduce children to camping and outdoor exploration, retirees seeking slower-paced travel experiences, and adventure seekers interested in mining history and regional ecology. Photographers find compelling subjects in the landscape and historic structures, while nature lovers appreciate the quieter pace and genuine connection to the environment.

This Arkansas location serves as an excellent base camp for exploring the broader Ozark region. Travelers can enjoy several days at the campground while taking day trips to nearby attractions, or use it as a comfortable overnight stop while traversing the state. The combination of historical interest, natural scenery, and outdoor recreation makes Rush Campground a worthwhile destination for RV travelers seeking authentic experiences.

Great place for primitive camping. We were great full to have the place to ourselves on a Sunday and Monday night. We enjoyed the hiking there and the swimming with the cold spring flowing right into the Buffalo there.

Awesome area. Cool ghost town to check out. The campground is currently free because it’s off season. $16 cash or cheque. Vault toilet on site. Firepit, table and pole for hanging your gear. River is absolutely gorgeous and there’s an area to put your boat in.

The trail was really nice. We found around eight of the abandoned mines which were mostly unlisted on the map posted at the trailhead. The first trail that is close to the abandoned buildings has the most sites.

Beautiful campground. Plenty of room. I’ve taken a few summoner dips in the refreshing water and it’s a perfect place to get away from the day to day. The abandoned town is super neat and you can almost feel history by looking at it. I would highly recommend spending some time here.
