This campground, located next to the Mulberry River, offers scenic rock bluffs in the northwestern portion of the state. Activities include canoeing on the Mulberry River (very popular with the canoeists) within view of the scenic rock bluffs, fishing, hiking and river access. Camping consists of 6 primitive units, available space for small camping trailers, and the picnicking area is designed for 5 family units. The area is also equipped with vault toilets but there is no drinking water. Good fishing and hunting is available nearby when in season. Campground and Day-Use Area Rules
Wolf Pen campground is located about 14 miles North of Ozark on AR Hwy 23, then approx. 12.6 miles East on AR Hwy 215, on the banks of the Mulberry River.
We started here for our kayaking trip to Turner Bend. With the water so low (2.35) it made for a long, slow, and pretty bumpy trip. It was still runable, but we had to be very wise in our choice of routes. Beautiful area and it looks like a great place to picnic, swim, and even camp if you are ok with a primitive campsite.
Wolf Pen is a beautiful campground on the Mulberry River. It is a great place to put in for kayaking or to swim and float around on a tube. The surrounding Arkansas forest is great for exploring also.
We went in April it’s was very quiet and peaceful. Almost nobody there. The place is very clean and unkept. Fishing was okay. Water was pretty cold but I would expect that this time of year. Water is crystal clear.
Very secluded. Incredible swimming.
If you're the worrisome type note you'll be sleeping about 11ft under the high water mark in a flash flood area.
Very little noise from the road nearby.
