Description
61.87± Acres — Off-Grid Hunting Camp Near Oark, Arkansas
Oark sits in one of the most recreation-rich corners of the Arkansas Ozarks, inside the 1.2-million-acre Ozark National Forest. The historic Oark General Store, a longtime local landmark, is just up the road, along with the Mulberry River overlook. From Oark, it's a scenic drive down Highway 215 to the famous Highway 23 Pig Trail Scenic Byway — one of the most celebrated drives, and motorcycle rides, in the South — with the Mulberry River, Turner Bend, and Ozark Highlands Trail access all along the way.
The Camp
Three camp-style buildings sit on the property, all off-grid. The main cabin sleeps up to 8. Two additional sleeping cabins each sleep 1-2 people, giving everyone their own space after a long day in the woods. Rounding it out is a dedicated building for processing game, cooking, and hanging out with family or friends — everything you need for a real camp, with none of the overhead of a developed property.
The Land
Trails wind through the property connecting to established hunting sites, so the groundwork for a productive season is already done. And the hunting doesn't stop at the property line — this tract borders the Ozark National Forest, meaning your range effectively extends into thousands of additional acres of public land right off your back door.
The Area & Things To Do
Oark sits in one of the most recreation-rich corners of the Arkansas Ozarks, inside the 1.2-million-acre Ozark National Forest. The property is close to the Highway 23 Pig Trail Scenic Byway — a 19-mile stretch through the Boston Mountains considered one of the most scenic drives, and one of the best motorcycle roads, in the South. The historic Oark General Store, a longtime local landmark, and the Mulberry River overlook are both just up the road.
The Mulberry River itself is one of Arkansas's premier paddling and fishing rivers, with canoe, kayak, and rafting access nearby at outfitters like Turner Bend — plus smallmouth bass fishing when water levels are low. For trail riders and hikers, the Ozark Highlands Trail has multiple access points in the area, and there are numerous RV parks, campgrounds, and OHV/ATV trail systems scattered throughout the region, including Byrd's Adventure Center and the Redding Recreation Area. Between the river, the trails, the byway, and the national forest at your doorstep, this stretch of the Ozarks stays busy with outdoor recreation year-round.
