Navigation Warning

If your navigation system has the 4693 road, the 4685 road or the 0592 road as part of your route, it is the wrong way!

Don’t do it. Turn Around. Stop. XXX Cancel! Recalculate. Try Again Harder. Ok, here’s what you should do instead…

We recommend using Google Maps to navigate here. If you use Apple Maps or some other mapping software, it will almost certainly take you down a steep, unmaintained road (aka the 4693 Road). Not Good. I don’t know why it does this, and I can’t get them to change it.

However, The Google map link on this site does work. Study the maps page and plan your route before driving here.

Still, Do not blindly trust the GPS. You may have to add an additional stop and navigate as if you are going to Carnes Ford on the 4700 road, then turn right on 599th road. If you take any other route, you are not going to be happy. We will try to improve the signs along the road as time and money allows…for now, its the wild west out here.

Pretend its 1999 and you only have a paper map. There is no cell service or Internet and Y2k is threatening to end the world… And the only way to survive is to read the map correctly. We have provided several additional maps on this site to assist you.

We are only 5 miles to pavement and 10 miles from town (Siloam Springs AR) A short section of the road is single lane, so be courteous if you come into contact with other humans.

ALTERNATE ROUTES

The “Low Water Crossing” aka Carnes Ford is still washed out and you cannot drive across the river at that location. The only way to get here is from the north side of the river.

CELL SERVICE

Service may be spotty along the route a few miles before camp. If you are using Google Maps, Do not close your map or it might not reload. Once you are at the camp, you should have service again.
