Overview

Kyles Landing Campground is situated along the Buffalo River under towering and picturesque bluffs. The campground offers 33 walk-in tent sites. All sites are available by reservation only. Kyles Landing Campground is located about 5 miles west of Jasper, off of Highway 74. The approximately 3-mile gravel road to get down to Kyles Landing is very steep and only recommended for 4WD vehicles.

Recreation

Paddling conditions in the upper (westernmost) district of Buffalo National River are extremely dependent upon rainfall. On an average year, the upper river is only navigable by boat in the spring and early summer when consistent rainfall feeds into the watershed. Some sections on the upper end of the river are technical and should not be attempted by novices. For current paddling conditions, please check with an outfitter (visit our Guided Services web page ), call the Tyler Bend Visitor Center at 870-439-2502, or check the Buffalo National River Float Guide Dashboard

Facilities

Kyles Landing has 33 tent only sites (maximum of 6 people per site). All sites are available by reservations only. There are no electrical amenities or water hookups, but flush restrooms and water spigots are available from approximately March 15 through November 15 each year.

Natural Features

The Buffalo National River flows free over swift running rapids and quiet pools for its 135-mile (217 km) length. One of the few remaining rivers in the lower 48 states without dams, the Buffalo cuts its way through massive limestone bluffs traveling eastward through the Arkansas Ozarks and into the White River.

Nearby Attractions

The Buffalo River Trail runs through Kyles Landing and offers great day hiking or overnight backcountry opportunities. Visit the park's Hiking Trails web page for more information.

Stayed at site 10. Its a great spot for dry seasons. Not much grass and the camp ground run off drain spills out right there so plan accordingly. However short walk the bathroom building and near waste bins. You are able to hear the river flowing in the back ground. Tons of shade and clean. Ponca just a few miles away had elk. Jasper is a nice town go support a local business if you get the chance.

Enjoyed the scenic bluffs and riverside views. The campground’s right off of the Buffalo River Trail and within short (though rigorous) hikes from some incredible vistas.

Major problem with the campground is getting out because of the steep road. We were glad we had 4-wheel drive. Although difficult the road needs improvement. There are points that are blind with slight hills; these invite wrecks. Restrooms were clean and well maintained. Our campsite (#26) was adequate; #27 next door is larger. Only problem we encountered was the road. Those driving should be cautious especially in the blind areas. Because of the road still prefer Steel Creek, but we enjoyed our stay. Don't miss hikes - lost valley and hawks craig. Kings Bluff and Sam's Throne are nice hikes with good views.

We loved camping at Kyle’s Campground! It was very well kept, clean, and views were beautiful. Kids love playing on the river bank.
