Woolum Access Buffalo River Parking Area

Woolum is a primitive, free access point to the Buffalo River near St. Joe, Arkansas, featuring a large open field with vault toilets and fire rings but no designated campsites, water, or hookups.

The site accommodates both tent and RV camping on a first-come, first-served basis and provides direct access to the river for paddling, fishing, and swimming, with options for camping on grassy meadows or along the riverbank.

Note that South Woolum Road is currently closed; access via County Road 374 west from St. Joe is available, and camping is only permitted in designated field areas, not in adjacent hay fields.
