Quick Overview
Yellville sits in the heart of the Arkansas Ozarks, where rugged hills meet the Buffalo National River corridor. RVers heading this way will find several dump stations serving the area, with some offering free services -- a solid ratio for a small town that punches above its weight in outdoor access.
The town itself is compact, but it's the surrounding landscape that draws RV travelers. You're minutes from some of Arkansas's best river access points and cave systems. The station network here reflects the area's camping culture: a mix of full-service RV parks and no-frills stops that cater to boaters, floaters, and hikers using Yellville as a base camp.
Most facilities cluster along the main highway corridors, making them easy to hit on your way in or out. You'll find newer operations like Into The Woods RV Park & Campground alongside more established spots. The terrain is hilly -- expect narrow roads and tight turns at some campgrounds, especially those tucked closer to the river valleys.
Cell service can be spotty once you leave the main routes, so download maps before you arrive. The town has basic supplies, but stock up on groceries and propane in Harrison or Mountain Home if you're planning an extended stay. Most RV parks here are small, family-run operations where you'll get straight answers about site conditions and local river levels.

Highway 62 and Highway 14 are your main arteries into Yellville, both well-maintained two-lane roads that handle RV traffic without issue. Highway 62 runs east-west and connects you to Eureka Springs and Mountain Home, while Highway 14 drops south toward Marshall. Highway 268 and Highway 65 provide additional access from the north and south.
Watch your speed through town -- it's small, and the main drag narrows quickly. If you're towing, give yourself extra room for turns near the courthouse square. Some of the older campground access roads off Highway 14 have steep grades and limited turnaround space, so call ahead if you're over 35 feet.
Overnight parking isn't common in Yellville proper. The town doesn't have big-box stores with RV-friendly lots, and street parking downtown is tight. Your best bet for a quick overnight is to contact one of the RV parks directly -- several offer discounted rates for late arrivals just needing a spot to sleep before hitting the river in the morning.

Explore the Yellville Area
Time your visit around river conditions if you're planning to use the Buffalo National River. Spring brings high water that's great for floating but can make some campground access roads muddy. Fall offers the best combination of clear weather, lower crowds, and stunning foliage along the bluffs.
Fuel up before you explore the backcountry. The closest stations with diesel and easy RV access are on Highway 62. Propane is available in town, but hours can be limited -- don't count on evening fills.
If you're here during turkey season (April) or deer season (November), book campgrounds early. Hunters pack out the area, and even the larger parks fill up weeks in advance. The annual Turkey Trot festival in October also brings crowds, though it's worth experiencing if you don't mind the bustle.
For groceries beyond basics, Harrison is 30 minutes north and has a Walmart with RV parking. Yellville's local market covers essentials, but selection is limited.
