About this campground

Tyler Bend Campground sits along a quiet stretch of the Buffalo National River roughly 11 miles northwest of Marshall in the Arkansas Ozarks, where the river alternates between running rapids and glassy pools beneath high limestone bluffs. The campground's visitor center is open year-round and houses exhibits on local plants and animals and an auditorium that hosts educational programs useful for planning paddling runs or interpretive hikes before you set out.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (5,337 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
