6th Annual Fall Camping / Hiking Trip to the Buffalo National River in Arkansas!
Host - Adventure Seekers of OKC
Adventure seekers will be camping at Steel Creek Campground, home to Roark Bluff, one of the most photographed places on the Buffalo River. There are bathrooms and running water, but no showers on site. (There is a public shower in Ponca, however).
Alert - I was through there on 9/15/21. There was road repair being done on route 21 just south of Smith Creek Preserve trailhead and there was 30 minute delays as the road was reduced to a single lane.
