Camping near Kirby, Arkansas
Kirby sits in Pike County in the southwestern foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, along the Caddo River and just upstream of Lake Greeson, a roughly 7,000-acre reservoir formed by Narrows Dam on the Little Missouri River. The town serves as a practical base for RV travelers heading to the lake, the river, and Crater of Diamonds State Park, which sits about 30 miles south near Murfreesboro.
Daisy State Park is the closest developed lakeside campground, with a mix of Class A, Class B, and tent sites, three yurts, boat launch ramps, and a swim beach. Private options in and around Kirby and neighboring Glenwood include Caddo River Camping and Canoe Rental, Arrowhead Cabin Canoe, River Run Resort, and Castle Keepers RV Resort, several of which combine RV hookups with float-trip shuttles on the Caddo.
Expect wooded, hilly terrain, quiet lake coves, and easy driving access to Hot Springs, which sits under an hour to the northeast.
Things to do around Kirby
Water dominates the itinerary. Lake Greeson supports boating, paddling, swimming, and scuba diving, and it produces striped, largemouth, spotted, and smallmouth bass along with white bass, crappie, catfish, walleye, and bream. The Little Missouri River below Narrows Dam is stocked with rainbow trout for cool-season fishing.
The Caddo River is the region's signature family float. The 7.5-mile Caddo Gap to Glenwood stretch mixes Class I and II rapids with calm pools and gravel bars. Outfitters such as Caddo River Camping and Canoe Rental and Arrowhead Cabin Canoe rent tubes, canoes, kayaks, and rafts and run shuttles.
On land, the Bear Creek Cycle Trail carries roughly 31 miles of ATV, motorcycle, and mountain-bike riding, and Lake Greeson has around 45 miles of walking, nature, and cycling trails overall. The surrounding Ouachita National Forest and Lake Greeson WMA draw hunters and wildlife watchers.

54° / 36°F 75 mmCool and variable; trout stocked below Narrows Dam.
Spring brings the busiest paddling window on the Caddo. Outfitters generally operate from March through September, with the river most reliably floatable in spring after regular rainfall. May is the wettest month in Kirby, averaging over four inches of rain across roughly 15 rain days, so trip plans need to flex with river gauge readings.
Summer is hot and humid, with July highs averaging near 93°F. Weekend crowds peak at Lake Greeson beaches, Corps of Engineers ramps, and outfitter shuttles, and holiday weekends fill fastest. Reserving well ahead is important for Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day.
Fall offers milder temperatures, fewer paddlers, and good fishing, though outfitter hours taper after Labor Day and some rentals shift to weekends only. Winter is variable, with January lows averaging in the mid-30s and occasional cold snaps. Daisy State Park's campground stays open year-round, and hunting plus rainbow trout fishing below Narrows Dam become the main draws.

How to book
Daisy State Park takes reservations through the Arkansas State Parks system online or by phone with the park office. Sites are not required to be reserved in advance, but the campground fills quickly on spring and fall weekends and summer holidays, so booking ahead is the safer choice. Loops vary in size, so specify RV length and hookup needs at booking.
Corps of Engineers campgrounds on Lake Greeson, including the nearby Kirby Landing, book through Recreation.gov, typically opening several months out for peak dates.
Private campgrounds around Kirby and Glenwood, including Caddo River Camping and Canoe Rental, Arrowhead Cabin Canoe, River Run Resort, and Castle Keepers RV Resort, book directly with the property. Call ahead on busy weekends, and reserve float rentals and shuttles at the same time as the campsite.
What to expect on arrival
Terrain is hilly and wooded, with loblolly and shortleaf pine, sweet gum, and oak on the uplands and bottomland hardwoods along the creeks. Some sites at Daisy State Park sit on slopes, so leveling blocks are useful. Larger loops accommodate bigger rigs while smaller loops suit vans and mid-size trailers.
Most developed campgrounds have flush toilets, hot showers, and a dump station. Hookup mix varies: a limited number of full-hookup sites exist alongside water-and-electric sites, so confirm amperage when booking. Cell coverage is spotty on the river and inside forested loops.
Pets are welcome on leash at both state park and Corps sites, and glass bottles are prohibited on the Caddo River. Watch for poison ivy, ticks, and snakes in warmer months. A Lake Greeson WMA leased-lands permit is required for hunters, trappers, and campers using WMA lands.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Kirby, AR
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Kirby, AR?
RV rental in Kirby is one of the most affordable ways to experience Lake Greeson and the Ouachita region. On RVezy, you'll typically find travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes between $175 and $275 per night, and larger Class A rigs from $250 and up. Because Kirby is a small lakeside community, weekday and shoulder-season rates in late September or early May often run 20 to 30 percent below summer holiday weekends. Pro tip: book a travel trailer with delivery straight to Kirby Landing or Daisy State Park to save on fuel while keeping budget free for diamond hunting and bass fishing.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kirby,%20ArkansasDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Kirby, Arkansas?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Kirby, Arkansas. Arkansas does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special endorsement for personal RVs, including big Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels you might tow to Lake Greeson. You'll just need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the booking flow, so there's no paperwork to chase down. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit and you're set. Most first-timers are surprised how quickly they go from booking to rolling toward Kirby Landing.
dfa.arkansas.gov/services/category/drivers-licenses/Is RV rental insurance and roadside assistance included in Kirby?
Yes, every RV rental in Kirby booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 70 with real peace of mind. You choose the coverage level that fits your trip at checkout (the policy is set by RVezy, not the individual host), and the plan covers most damage to the RV during your rental. If you blow a tire on the way to Crater of Diamonds State Park or need a tow back to town, one call to RVezy gets help dispatched. Pro tip: snap walk-around photos at pickup so any post-trip claim is quick and painless.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Kirby RV trip plans change?
You can book your RV rental in Kirby with confidence. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and there is a money-back grace period right after booking so you are never locked in the moment you click confirm. Refund amounts after that window depend on how far out your trip is, and RVezy support is available before, during, and after your trip if plans shift due to severe weather or other issues. You'll see the exact terms tied to your reservation in your RVezy account. Pro tip: book early for summer Lake Greeson weekends, since cancelling later is much easier than finding a last-minute rig.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Kirby?
Yes, a pet-friendly RV rental in Kirby is easy to find on RVezy. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when browsing and you'll see rigs whose owners welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) along for the ride. Once you arrive, Kirby Landing Campground and Daisy State Park both allow pets on a 6-foot leash at campsites and on trails, though pets are not allowed at swim beaches or inside bathhouses. The Bear Creek Cycle Trail near Lake Greeson is a great spot for a long leashed walk. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and to mention your dog's size, so check-in at your Kirby campsite is smooth and stress-free.
arkansasstateparks.com/parks/daisy-state-parkCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Kirby?
Yes, RV delivery in Kirby is one of the smartest moves for first-time renters and families with a packed itinerary. Many RVezy hosts will drive the motorhome or trailer straight to Kirby Landing, Self Creek, Parker Creek, or Daisy State Park, then level it, hook up water and 50-amp power, and walk you through every system before they leave. That means no towing stress, no backing into a tight pine-shaded site, and no figuring out the awning solo. Use the Delivery filter when searching to see which rigs offer it and what the per-mile or flat fee looks like. Pro tip: ask your host to set up before you arrive so you can roll in, unpack, and head straight to the lake.
arkansasstateparks.com/parks/daisy-state-parkHow far can I drive on a Kirby RV trip without huge mileage fees?
Kirby is perfectly placed for big adventures without burning through miles. Hosts on RVezy set their own mileage allowances, and many include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage. From Kirby, Hot Springs National Park is about 50 miles east (roughly an hour), Crater of Diamonds State Park is about 18 miles southwest, the Ouachita National Forest scenic drives start around 30 miles north, and Little Rock is about 100 miles northeast. Filter for unlimited mileage if you're planning a loop through the Ouachitas or down to Texarkana. Pro tip: map your route before booking and message the host, many will bundle extra miles into a package deal.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kirby,%20ArkansasWhere are the best campgrounds near Kirby, AR for RV camping?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Kirby. The standouts: Kirby Landing Campground (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) right on Lake Greeson with 100+ sites, 50-amp electric and water, a swim beach and marina; Self Creek Campground, another COE park with lakefront sites and a boat ramp; Parker Creek Campground near Narrows Dam with quiet, tree-shaded electric sites; Daisy State Park just down Highway 70 with water/electric sites, yurts, and a boat launch; and Lake Greeson RV Park, a private park on US-70 with 19 full-hookup spots across from the Bear Creek ATV Trail. Pro tip: COE sites at Kirby Landing book up fast for summer weekends, so reserve early on Recreation.gov.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233531When is the best time of year for an RV rental in Kirby, Arkansas?
The sweet spots for a Kirby RV trip are mid-April through early June and mid-September through late October, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 70s to mid-80s and the humidity backs off. Summer (June through August) is hot and very humid with highs in the low 90s, but it's prime time for swimming and tubing on Lake Greeson's 7,260 acres. Fall brings stunning color in the surrounding Ouachita pine-and-hardwood hills. Winter is milder than most of the country with daytime temps often in the 50s and 60s, though nights can dip below freezing. Pro tip: book a shoulder-season weekday for the quietest campsites and the best wildlife viewing along the Little Missouri River.
weather.gov/lzk/I've never rented an RV before. Is Kirby a good place to start?
Kirby is an ideal spot for a first time renting an RV. Traffic is light, Highway 70 is a wide, easy two-lane through pine country, and campgrounds like Kirby Landing and Daisy State Park have spacious pull-through and back-in sites designed with big rigs in mind. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup, covering propane, slides, water systems, the generator, and how to dump tanks, and you can message them any time during your trip if a question pops up. Choose delivery if you'd rather skip the driving altogether. Pro tip: start with a travel trailer or smaller Class C for your first Kirby RV rental, you'll thank yourself on the curvier stretches near the Narrows Dam.
arkansashighways.com/What happens if I have a breakdown or issue during my Kirby RV trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking in Kirby includes 24/7 roadside assistance through the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on the way to Crater of Diamonds, a dead battery at Self Creek, or a lockout at Kirby Landing is just one call away from help. The closest service hubs are Murfreesboro (about 15 miles southwest) and Hot Springs (about 50 miles east), so tow trucks and tire shops can reach you quickly. You can also message your host directly through the app for quirks specific to their rig. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's contact info offline before heading into the Ouachita National Forest where cell coverage can be spotty.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Kirby, AR?
An RV road trip from Kirby opens up some of Arkansas's most scenic drives. Top routes include: east on US-70 to Hot Springs National Park (about 50 miles, 1 hour) for thermal springs and historic Bathhouse Row; southwest to Crater of Diamonds State Park (18 miles, 30 minutes) where you can keep any diamond you find; north on AR-27 into the Ouachita National Forest and the Talimena National Scenic Byway (about 90 miles); northeast to Little Rock (100 miles, 2 hours) for big-city stops; and west to Beavers Bend State Park in Oklahoma (about 90 miles). Mexico travel isn't permitted on RVezy rentals, but most U.S. routes are wide open. Pro tip: loop Hot Springs and Crater of Diamonds in one trip for the perfect three-night itinerary.
nps.gov/hosp/index.htmWhat should I budget for fuel on a motorhome rental in Kirby?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line item after the motorhome rental in Kirby itself, so plan ahead. Travel trailers towed by a half-ton truck average 10 to 14 mpg, Class C motorhomes run 8 to 12 mpg, and Class A rigs typically get 6 to 9 mpg. Arkansas gas prices tend to sit below the national average, often around $2.80 to $3.20 per gallon, with the closest stations in Kirby right on US-70 and larger options in Murfreesboro and Glenwood. For a 300-mile loop in a Class C, budget roughly $90 to $130 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Glenwood or Hot Springs before heading deep into the Ouachita National Forest, where stations get sparse fast.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campsite around Lake Greeson?
For RV camping in Kirby, six months ahead is the sweet spot for summer weekends. Kirby Landing, Self Creek, and Parker Creek Campgrounds are all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parks reservable on Recreation.gov, which uses a rolling six-month booking window. Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day weekends often sell out within hours of opening. Daisy State Park bookings go through ArkansasStateParks.com on a similar rolling window. Spring and fall weekdays are usually bookable just a week or two out. Pro tip: set a Recreation.gov alert for cancellations, lakefront sites at Kirby Landing open up regularly as plans change.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233531What are the local driving conditions like around Kirby?
Driving an RV around Kirby is refreshingly low-stress. US-70 is the main artery through town, a paved two-lane with gentle curves and easy shoulders that handles big rigs comfortably. The route to Crater of Diamonds via AR-27 has more hills and curves, so take it slow in a Class A or with a long fifth wheel. Watch for white-tailed deer at dawn and dusk year-round, and keep an eye on the forecast in spring when thunderstorms can drop heavy rain fast. Winter ice events happen occasionally, usually January or February. Pro tip: avoid driving the narrow road over Narrows Dam in a wide rig, take the longer US-70 loop instead for a relaxed, scenic ride.
idrivearkansas.com/What hookups and amenities can I expect at Kirby-area campgrounds?
Campgrounds near Kirby are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Kirby Landing's 100+ sites all include 50-amp electric and water, plus a central dump station, flush toilets, showers, a swim beach, playground, marina, and boat ramp. Daisy State Park offers water and electric sites with a dump station and modern bathhouses. Lake Greeson RV Park has 15 full-hookup sites (50/30 amp) with sewer right at the pad, a dump station for everyone else, plus clean showers. To top off fresh water or dump tanks mid-trip, the COE campgrounds and Lake Greeson RV Park both offer dump access. Pro tip: bring a 50-to-30-amp dogbone adapter and a 25-foot drinking-water hose, perfect for any site setup around Lake Greeson.
arkansasstateparks.com/parks/daisy-state-parkWhat's actually inside the RVs available for rent in Kirby?
Most RV rentals in Kirby come fully equipped so you can roll straight from pickup to the lake. Expect a real bed (queen or king in most Class C and travel trailer rentals), a kitchen with fridge, microwave, propane stove, and sink, a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower, roof air conditioning, a furnace for cool nights, and a dinette or sofa that converts for extra sleepers. Many rigs include a generator (helpful for boondocking in the Ouachita National Forest), a TV, and onboard fresh, gray, and black tanks. WiFi is usually a bring-your-own hotspot since Kirby's cell signal varies. Pro tip: ask your host about included camp chairs, leveling blocks, and a sewer hose, most provide a starter kit so you can pack lighter.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kirby,%20ArkansasWhat add-ons and options are popular for Kirby RV rentals?
Popular add-ons for a Kirby RV trip include delivery and setup (often $2 to $5 per mile from the host's home base, or a flat fee within 20 miles), extra generator hours for boondocking (commonly $3 to $5 per hour beyond what's included), pet fees ($25 to $75 for the trip), and full prep kits with linens, towels, kitchenware, and outdoor chairs ($50 to $150). Pickup and dropoff usually happens at the host's home or a meeting spot near US-70, and mileage allowances vary, so check the listing or filter for unlimited mileage. Pro tip: bundling delivery, generator, and a prep kit often costs less than booking them separately, message the host for a custom quote before you confirm.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kirby,%20ArkansasHow does payment and the security deposit work for a Kirby RV rental?
Payment for your RV rental in Kirby is handled entirely through RVezy, so there's no cash, no host invoices, and no off-platform transfers. You pay by credit or debit card at booking, and the host is paid out only after your trip starts, which protects both sides. A refundable security deposit is placed as a separate hold on your card before pickup and released after the host confirms the RV was returned in good shape, typically within a few days of return. Pro tip: do a quick video walkaround at pickup and dropoff, it's the fastest way to keep your deposit return smooth after your Lake Greeson adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs Kirby good for a family RV trip with kids?
A family RV trip in Kirby checks every box: swimming and tubing on Lake Greeson's 7,000+ acres, the only public diamond mine in America at Crater of Diamonds State Park (where visitors actually find diamonds regularly), the Bear Creek Cycle Trail for bikes and ATVs near Kirby Landing, easy hiking around Daisy State Park, and quiet evenings around the campfire under a dark sky. Many family-friendly RV rentals on RVezy sleep 6 to 8 with bunk beds, seatbelts for every passenger, and plenty of gear storage. Pro tip: pick up a junior diamond-mining kit (mesh screen and small shovel) at the Crater of Diamonds visitor center, your kids will talk about finding their first sparkly rock for years.
