Can I use Harvest Hosts in Arkansas during winter?

Mostly yes. Wineries, breweries, and attractions generally welcome RVs year-round, while some farms pause in the off-season. Winters are short and mild by northern standards — just watch forecasts for occasional ice storms in the Ozarks and Ouachitas.

Is Harvest Hosts worth it for Arkansas RV trips?

Yes — a Classic membership costs $99/year and typically pays for itself in 2–3 nights versus private campgrounds at $30–50/night. An I-40 crossing with a wine country stop, plus an Ozarks or Hot Springs loop, covers the membership in one trip.

Arkansas RV Camping Guide

The Ozarks

Northwest Arkansas pairs mountain scenery with an unexpected culture stop: Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville and the Victorian streets of Eureka Springs. Winding roads reward smaller rigs; larger ones should stick to US-62 and I-49 and take the fall color drives slow — late October is peak in the high Ozarks.

The Arkansas River Valley and Wine Country

Altus, between Fort Smith and Little Rock off I-40, is Arkansas's historic wine country — Swiss-German families have grown grapes here since the 1870s. Vineyard stays make an easy interstate pull, with Mount Magazine, the state's highest point, rising up just to the south.

Hot Springs and Central Arkansas

Hot Springs National Park wraps around a working spa town, and Little Rock anchors the state's brewery scene an hour east. From here, day trips fan out to Crater of Diamonds State Park in the southwest — dig your own keeper — and the winding Ouachita mountain byways toward Oklahoma.

When is the best time to RV camp in Arkansas?

April–May and October–November are the stars: spring brings dogwoods and full waterfalls in the Ozarks, and fall lights up the hills with some of the best color between the Appalachians and the Rockies. Summers are hot and humid but fine near lakes and rivers, and winters are mild enough for year-round travel with occasional ice in the highlands.

Is overnight RV parking legal in Arkansas?

It depends on the city and the lot — many retail locations and tourist towns prohibit it. Harvest Hosts stays settle the question: you're an invited guest on private property with the host's permission, likely with a glass of Altus wine in hand.

How does RV camping at Harvest Hosts work in Arkansas?

Harvest Hosts is an annual membership that lets RVers stay overnight at 95 Arkansas wineries, breweries, farms, and attractions with no camping fees. Members request stays through the app, arrive in a self-contained RV, and support their hosts with a purchase — a bottle from a century-old vineyard, dinner at a historic brewery, or farm-stand produce.

Are Ozark mountain roads OK for big rigs?

The main corridors — I-40, I-49, US-65, US-62 — are fine for any rig. The scenic byways (Highway 7, the Pig Trail) are steep, narrow, and switchbacked; gorgeous in a smaller RV or tow vehicle, white-knuckle in a 40-footer. Plan the pretty drives as day trips from your host stay when in doubt.

RVers cross Arkansas for the Ozarks and stay for everything else — America's first national park at Hot Springs, a wine country older than California's fame, and the only public diamond mine in the country. Arkansas has 95 Harvest Hosts locations offering overnight RV stays at wineries, breweries, farms, and attractions across The Natural State. Member-favorite stops include Historic Arkansas Vineyard Retreat, Brewery & Kitchen at Historic Grounds, and Craft Winery & Brewery Retreat — the state's three most-booked hosts. Members can choose from 23 farm stays, 3 wineries, and 5 breweries statewide.

I booked the same day and the response was fast. There were RVs parked there, but I was the only van. The host was out of town, but communicated quickly to make sure I made it and had no problems. They did request $30, but didn't mind paying. The view is spectacular and I spent hours at the picnic table watching it. Slept well and watched the sunrise. It was wonderful. Highly recommend.
