Thinking about going camping up there next week around the holidays -- do the trees still have color or is it mostly brown this year? Any other tips or recommendations for the Ozarks/NW AR area?

You may as well continue north to Missouri

WTF kind of question is this? Even if they do live in Arkansas, nobody is going to admit it. They might as well say, "Yes, I frick my sister."

By the time this storm system moves through there won't be much color left. Peak was a few weeks ago. But the creeks and waterfalls should be flowing good. The elk rut has already peaked as well but the herds are still easy to see from your vehicle in the Boxley Valley area. As far as tips or recommendations, can you be a little more specific as to what you are looking for? Hiking, canoeing, etc..

I'm camping this weekend in SW Missouri, and based upon the forecast I have seen, you better plan for cold weather. Highs in the 40's and lows in the 20's.

The recent storms have pretty well stripped all the leaves.

Color peaked in late October, and it wasn't much this year anyway.

Wind and storms this last week will ensure there's nearly no leaves left at all by the weekend.

Even in Winter, it's beautiful in the Ozarks.

Thanks. I'm mostly looking into hiking/camping recommendations I guess, but I'm open to any ideas (had never heard about the elk herds, for example). Any towns in the area worth visiting to get something to eat, or is the area too remote for that? I've never been farther north than Little Rock in AR.

I'd recommend floating/fishing the White River.

Plenty of hiking around the Buffalo, just depends on what you want.

Look into the Buffalo Outdoor Center, that might be a good one-stop shop for you.

Jasper has a few restaurants. You can cover a lot of long and winding roads without finding a restaurant in the Boston Mountains.

If it is your first time in the area I would recommend camping at the Steele Creek campgrounds on the Buffalo River west of Jasper. Very pretty area with a lot of great sightseeing opportunities nearby.

Steel Creek Campground


Triple Falls is only a few miles away and a few hundred yard walk from the parking area


Hawksbill Crag is another easy hike nearby


Elk at Boxley Valley are only a few miles from the campground. I have never been this time of year and not seen 50 or more without stepping out of the vehicle. Jasper is about 15 miles east of the campground and a very neat little town with gas, groceries, etc. and I recommend the Ozark Café there. Also the Low Gap Café is a must stop if it is open over the holidays!

Blanchard Springs Caverns. Not sure if it closes in winter or not, but it's one of my favorite places in Arkansas. Not just the caverns, the whole area.
