From the official listing
Overview The Erbie campground is situated along the Buffalo River under the towering a bluff. There are five group sites available, walk-in only, for 10 to 25 people. Additionally, there are 14 drive-in and 13 walk-in tent sites. All sites are available by reservation only.
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 Erbie has 5 group sites (maximum of 25 people per group site), 14 drive-in sites suitable for tents or RVs (maximum of 6 people per site), and 13 walk-in 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 There are numerous historic buildings near the Erbie Campground. The Buffalo River Trail runs through Erbie and offers great day hiking or overnight backcountry opportunities. Visit the park's Hiking Trails web page for more information.
