Richland Creek Recreation Area

Richland Creek Recreation Area, located in northwest Arkansas, is a prime spot for stargazing as an official Dark Sky park. Visitors enjoy beautiful natural features including clear waters and several picturesque waterfalls, such as Fuzzy Butt Falls and Twin Falls. The area offers remote camping with well-maintained sites, though it’s recommended to use a four-wheel-drive vehicle due to rough roads. The lack of cell service enhances the escape into nature, ideal for disconnecting from daily life. Expect seasonal water access and vault toilets, but plan accordingly for other amenities. The scenic trails and wildlife sightings make this park a tranquil outdoor retreat.
