Gilbert sits in the Ozarks/Ouachitas, a region known for hot springs national park, buffalo national river, and ozark mountains. On timing, the local rule of thumb: April–early June, then late September–November for foliage. Once you're settled, the area is set up for float trips on the buffalo river, mountain biking the ouachitas, and soaking historic hot springs. Arkansas also has a national park, Hot Springs, that makes a good anchor for a camping trip.

Every camping stay below links straight to the operator's own site — we never take a booking or hold your money, so prices and availability you see there are the real ones. Photos and reviews are pulled from public sources and refreshed regularly; if something looks off, use the "verify with operator" link on the listing. Use the nearby-city and stay-type links further down to pivot if Gilbert doesn't have exactly what you want — glamping supply clusters by region, and the next town over often fills the gap.
