Destination Hot Springs | Hot Springs National Park Arkansas

I enjoy going to Oaklawn Racing and Gaming on warm, sunny days when it’s nice to be outside watching the horses run. This was not one of those days. It was 39 degrees and the wind was whipping my hair around as I stood just outside the trainers’ stand.

Join us as we explore the camping options Hot Springs, Arkansas has to offer! Hot Springs National Park offers a variety of experiences for just about any traveler!

My tires bounced along a rocky path carved through a dense forest of towering pine trees. The sunlight filtering through the canopy revealed a scene that looked as though it was plucked from a J. R. R. Tolkien novel.

Want to eat like a local? You're in luck. We're visiting several of Hot Springs' most legendary BBQ restaurants! From the iconic McClard's Bar-B-Q (whose dishes were on-demand for a U.S. President) to Smokin' In Style and Stubby's BBQ (just a stone's throw from Oaklawn Racing & Gaming).
