Perfectly located for staging your great vacation adventure, the City of Clinton, mid-way between Little Rock and Branson, is the perfect place to headquarter your Ozarks getaway!
Our variety of pleasant lodging accommodations, including an array of RV facilities, are central to a bevy of spectacular recreational experiences and unique attractions.
For easy day-tripping, the Ozark Folk Center State Park is "A Wonderful Way to Enjoy Yesterday" in a highly entertaining way. Tap your toes to mountain music, see blacksmithing, pottery-making and over 18 other pioneer skills and crafts. Learn to play the dulcimer or auto-harp, to jig dance or to grow an organic herb garden.
To really chill-out on a hot summer day, take a scenic drive to Blanchard Springs Caverns to explore the three-level cavern system on the DripStone, Discovery or Wild Cave tours. Spelunking guides, a full gift shop and video presentations make for interesting and educational fun.
Also nearby, America's First National River -- The Buffalo National River -- flows free over swift running rapids and quiet pools for its 135-mile length. One of the few remaining rivers in the lower 48 states without dams, the Buffalo cuts its way through massive limestone bluffs as it travels eastward through the Arkansas Ozarks.
Instead of packing and unpacking every night along your way, make your vacation home-base with us while you tour!
Every autumn, the nearby city of Mountain View -- Folk Music Capitol of the World -- hosts the Arkansas Bean Fest and Great Arkansas Championship Outhouse Race
In the springtime, the nearby city of Conway (home to UCA ), hosts world famous "Toad Suck Daze," a 3-day festival of food, family and fun held on downtown square and home to The World Championship Toad Races. This 'Laid Back Weekend' celebrates arts & crafts, hosts a carnival, features local and national entertainment, a golf tournament, and basketball tournament, magicians, and so much more! Toad Suck Daze is also home to 'The World Championship Toad Races'.
Still, you never have to leave Van Buren County to have a wonderful time.
The Greers Ferry Lake Little Red River Association can point you to the rivers to be floated, trails to be hiked and trophy fish waiting to be caught nearly right outside your vacation door!
Also in our backyard, you'll find a day of natural enjoyment exploring The Natural Bridge of Arkansas.
Hidden away in the scenic beauty of the Ozarks, this 100-ft. sandstone formation was millions of years in the making.
The stone archway was actually used as a bridge during pioneer days.
Onsite facilities include picnic tables, rest rooms a log cabin museum and gift shop.
And right here inside our city limits, the Van Buren County Historical Society Museum and Courthouse Square are perfect for leisurely perusing. And our annual County Fair is a real hoot!
Plus, we are host to the National Championship Chuck Wagon Races
And of course, we are just minutes away from that spectacular water playground called Greers Ferry Lake
Come make the City of Clinton your home-away-from-home vacation playground!!!
