Wifi is available on campus, but does not usually work in the lodges. There are areas around campus where you can sit to access wifi.
Fires are permitted ONLY in the fire pit at the Lewis Pavilion. Upon request, we provide you with complementary wood for one fire. If you would like to purchase more wood, it is $5 per bundle. We have had a very dry year, so please pay extra attention to stray sparks and be sure that the fire does not leave the fire pit. Please do not attempt to move hot coals.
The Ozark Natural Area campus includes an education building, event spaces, 3 lodges, 4 apartments, and a retreat house (Neaville House). During your stay, other guests might be renting other parts of the campus, and some ONSC staff live on campus. Please be respectful of all other guests, staff, and our property.
The closest town with a Wal-Mart is 15 miles away from the campus. The closest gas station is 6 miles away from the campus. Eureka Springs and Huntsville are each about 30-40 minutes away. We are about an 1-1.5 hours from Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville, Bentonville, and XNA airport.
Make sure that you purchase all food, drinks, toiletries and other supplies needed prior to your arrival on campus. Also please bring sunscreen, bug repellant, and a flashlight for your safety at night to be able to view our walking paths and trails.

This was a nice little place to stay. It was super affordable and the hosts were super fast at replying which really made me feel valued. The beds were extremely comfortable and there were plenty of beds for everyone. And a bathroom for each room. They provided pillows and linens and towels for us to use. There was also shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The water was nice and hot for showers. There wasn't a lot of indoor gathering space or any place to eat in the cabin, but they provided wood and a pavilion for campfire cooking and outdoor gathering. It was beautiful, and peaceful. Located deep in the woods and no city lights or traffic. Even when there were other guests on the campgrounds, it was peaceful. It was warm in the cabin (when it was warm outside). they had a lock on the a/c unit so we were not able to control the temperature on the thermostat. There was weak wifi signal and even weaker cell phone signal. At first I thought this was terribly inconvenient but it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise.Overall this was great value for the price I paid. I would most definitely do this again.
