Erbie Campground
Newton County, Arkansas
Before a recent
camping trip to Jasper, I looked and looked for pictures showing the
campground at Erbie. I found one or two but nothing very descriptive. I
am posting these here for the benefit of anyone that wants to camp at
Erbie and looking for inside info.
These are the restrooms. From November to March the campground
is free but with very limited facilities. At the first restroom we
stopped at the sign read "Closed, used ROM restroom." At the
second restroom we stopped at the sign read "Closed, used the outhouse
on the hill." :) I am not sure if this was a joke or
what...we never saw an "outhouse," but the third restroom we came
to was open. There was no sink to wash your hands and no locks to
lock the door, just an outhouse type toilet. For all the trouble
getting to it, peeing in the woods seemed to be the better option.
This is one campsite for a group.
We went because all the advertisements stated the campground was
adjacent to the Buffalo River. While this is true, you can't
actually see the river from the campground.
Each campsite is somewhat surrounded by shrubbery or bamboo creating
a sense of privacy. The water pumps were locked for the winter.
It is about 200 yards through the shrubbery to the River.
The river was very low.
