Wanderlust RV Park

We had a premium site at the end of loop. Nice over look from our site deck. Staff drives a golf cart showing you to your site and helps guide you to back in. The site was gravel and level. The pool was nice and clean; needed it as the temps where 100 plus with heat index. The Great Passion Play is just down the street, about 0.5 miles. The farmers market in town was forgettable. Downtown Eureka Springs is a cute little town, spent a day walking it. Check out Ellen's Patisserie, awesome caramel/chocolate covered apples.

This is a multiple award winning campground, and well-deserved. Spaces are not too tight, hookups are convenient and well-maintained, and the view from #32 at sunset.....romantic. In the Morning, when the sun is rising behind you, this same view of the valley takes on a splendid awakening of living green. We will definitely be back again!

The campground is located mile or two east of downtown Eureka Springs (as the crow flies) along the road that leads to the Christ of the Ozarks statue. When you enter the campground, stay to the left and enter the check-in lane. The segment of road on the right is the exit road, and both roads merge into a single-lane road that enters the campground, so when you leave and re-enter the campground you need to pay attention to oncoming traffic.

The campground is roughly divided into two sections, both of which have a mix of back-in and pull-through sites. The front section is where the bathhouse is located, which is home to the bathrooms, showers, and laundry facilities, and serves as the entrance to the small outdoor pool. A little beyond that is the first social hall and covered pavilion area with outdoor cooking facilities. And just beyond that is the start of the loop for the back section of the campground, which is mostly pull-throughs (with some of them being buddy sites) and a couple of back-in sites, along with another social hall and pavilion. There is also another bathhouse in this section, but it was closed during our stay.

We had reserved a pull-through site, but for some reason they put us in back-in site 82 in the back section of the park. We ended up not complaining about it, because we had no neighbors to our right and we had wonderful views out the back window.

All of the sites are on gravel surfaces and come with picnic tables. Fire pits are available from the office on request. Our site was level, but it looked like some of the pull-through sites had a slight slope on either end of the site. There are several large grassy areas for walking dogs with dedicated cans for pet waste.

There is very little road noise from the road going past the campground (it’s not audible from the back section of the campground). There is a covered trolley stop in the front section of the campground where you can board one of the trolleys that brings you into downtown Eureka Springs.

In terms of cell service, the best speeds I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna during our stay were 50Mbps down and 20Mbps up, and we had no issues streaming video. The one speed test I performed on my AT&T phone showed 45Mbps down and 13Mbps up. On a whim, I tried out the campground WiFi the morning we left (a Sunday morning) and only saw 1Mbps up and down, and our site was right across from a WiFi antenna.

The temperatures dropped below freezing one night during our stay: the campground emailed us to let us know when they’d be shutting off the water to safeguard the pipes, then emailed us again to let us know when we could hook up to water again.

We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

Check in was easy and we were escorted to our site. Everybody was super friendly and helpful. The site was fairly level and all are gravel with a little grass in between. I did use the laundry facilities. There were 3 washers and 4 dryers, one dryer was not working but all loads were $1.75 each and machines worked just fine. The bathrooms appeared to be nice and clean but we didn't use them. There did not appear to be any "long term" folks here except maybe right at the front when you pull in. Most everybody else was coming and going. The pool was not open while we were there, I believe that was only due to the time of year. This is a convenient location as the downtown Eureka Springs trolley will pick you up and drop you off right at the campground. The sites are very close together and they are set up so that you and your neighbor pull in from opposite directions so you will end up face to face but it wasn't that big of a deal. Overall we really liked this place and would go back.

We spent a an evening here on our way to Branson, Mo.

Dave was the park host on duty & was extremely helpful & friendly. Being “off season” there weren’t many folks here, so we had nearly the entire park to ourselves. This is a fantastic facility. The views are great, the gravel drive was well kept, and the hookups were all in good working order.

We had breakfast at The Filling Station at Dave’s recommendation & really enjoyed it.

We used our ATT cellphone as a hotspot and had no issue streaming data.

We also visited the Passion Play property and saw the statue & Christmas lights. Neat experiences if you are interested in that Passion experience.

We had a nice stay for 3 nights. There are a variety of spots available. The owners upgraded us at no charge to the last pull thru spot at the end of the park. We were next to the 4 premium spots and were able to see an awesome sunset in the evening. Nice level spots. It’s all pea gravel with some grass. Plenty of spots to walk the dogs. Once we had our curbside checkin, the owner showed us to our spot and made sure we had everything we needed. Another employee came around on his cart several times making sure we didn’t experience any trouble. Close to downtown and lots of winding roads through the Ozarks. We would highly recommend.
