Gulpha Gorge Campground
This campground is located in Hot Springs National Park. The campground and the park are open year-round. The on-site visitor's center is open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Primitive camping and camping sites with hookups are both available, but the camping sites are not pull-through. Restroom facilities are on-site, but there are no showers. This is, however, reflected in the low cost of staying at this campground. Picnic tables and grills are located at each camping site. Reservations are not taken; all facilities are first-come, first-served, and camping is limited to 14 days a year.
