Gulpha Gorge Campground

We stayed at Gulpha Gorge Campground in November 2017 Gulpha Gorge is a first come, first served campsite and does not take reservations of any kind. The regular cost is $30 per night but you can get 50% off with the right National Parks pass. We love this campground and we love the town of Hot Springs. We prefer to visit in th... more

We arrived early in the day and selected a great spot next to the creek. We love to go to Hot Springs and go to the shops and to Oaklawn (Race Track). Sites are large and private.

Beautifully maintained campground with water, sewer and electric that appeared to be newly installed. We were lucky enough to be offered one of the two unoccupied reserved campground host sites as no other regular sites were available upon our arrival on Monday in April. I would have loved to stay here longer but we were just passi... more

This is a very nicely maintained campground close to downtown Hot Springs. The bathrooms are clean but no showers. All sites are full hookups with several next to a creek that runs next to a bluff. Lots of trails to explore and you can actually take one to downtown Hot Springs. We stayed the last of March for three days over E... more

First come first serve. Great little spot right next to the river. Easy access to trails and town right from the campground. Highly suggest the lookout tower along the trails. Dog friendly on leash. Full hookups at all spots. They have really clean toilet facilities but they don't have showers so you have to use your rig. You can use s... more

We enjoyed this park very much, especially the full hook-ups for such a low price. (Our rate reflects the 50% senior discount.) Our site was a back-in next to the creek and was paved with a picnic table. No fire pit, but there was a grill. Good location for exploring the town and nice hiking up the hill right from the campground. Th... more

Nice wooded creekside location .
But sites are really close together more like an rv park.
Firepits and tables were great ,abundant wood in the hills for gathering .

Gulpha Gorge really is a lovely little campground. We love the 1st come 1st served model (thanks Gulpha!) and had no issue finding a site at around 10am on a Sunday morning in November - even with a 40' rig. During the week we were here (early November) there was always a site available. Road noise can be a bit much if you're lo... more

Nice area with scenic views. Water that flows down a steam that you can relax in and rock climbing. Just beware of the crawfish that might pinch your toe. There are toilets but no shower areas for those who may need them.

We arrived to a "No Vacancies" sign. The precious camp host saw us and gave us an available hostess site. We were so grateful. The campground is very peaceful with the Gulpha creek running along side it. Our children (10 and 5) thoroughly enjoyed playing in the creek. (Rocks on the bottom of the creek are extremely slick. I would... more
