About

Arrow Rock State Historic Site Campground is located within a once-bustling river town that now serves as a quaint village preserving the history of Boone's Lick Country. The campground offers 47 sites year-round, including 12 basic sites, 34 electric sites with 50-amp service available, and one site with full sewer/electric/water hookups. All sites provide at least partial shade throughout the day. A special-use camping area is also available for groups. The campground provides modern amenities including shower facilities, a dump station, and potable water stations during the on-season from April through October. Sites can be reserved up to 12 months in advance or obtained on a first-come, first-served basis if not reserved. Each site includes a picnic table and fire pit, and firewood is available during the on-season. Beyond camping, visitors can explore the historic village with its 19th-century buildings including an old courthouse, one-room jail, and the home of artist George Caleb Bingham. The visitor center features exhibits on Native American presence and local history. Hiking trails wind through the site, and the historic Arrow Rock Tavern dating to 1834 offers period dining experiences. The campground is easily accessible via Highway 41, located one-quarter mile south of the village.
