About
Overview
Kyles Landing Campground is situated along the Buffalo River under towering and picturesque bluffs. The campground offers 33 walk-in tent sites. All sites are available by reservation only. Kyles Landing Campground is located about 5 miles west of Jasper, off of Highway 74. The approximately 3-mile gravel road to get down to Kyles Landing is very steep and only recommended for 4WD vehicles.
Recreation
Paddling conditions in the upper (westernmost) district of Buffalo National River are extremely dependent upon rainfall. On an average year, the upper river is only navigable by boat in the spring and early summer when consistent rainfall feeds into the watershed. Some sections on the upper end of the river are technical and should not be attempted by novices. For current paddling conditions, please check with an outfitter (visit our Guided Services web page ), call the Tyler Bend Visitor Center at 870-439-2502, or check the Buffalo National River Float Guide Dashboard
Facilities
Kyles Landing has 33 tent only sites (maximum of 6 people per site). All sites are available by reservations only. There are no electrical amenities or water hookups, but flush restrooms and water spigots are available from approximately March 15 through November 15 each year.
Natural Features
The Buffalo National River flows free over swift running rapids and quiet pools for its 135-mile (217 km) length. One of the few remaining rivers in the lower 48 states without dams, the Buffalo cuts its way through massive limestone bluffs traveling eastward through the Arkansas Ozarks and into the White River.
Nearby Attractions
The Buffalo River Trail runs through Kyles Landing and offers great day hiking or overnight backcountry opportunities. Visit the park's Hiking Trails web page for more information.

Is Kyles Landing Campground fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
