Vallie Bridge Campground offers 16 walk-in tent sites along the Arkansas River with a boat ramp for direct raft and kayak access, making it ideal for paddlers.

Each site includes a tent pad, fire grill, and picnic table; sites are $28/night and reservable up to 6 months in advance through cpwshop. com or (800) 244-5613.

Note that sites are closely spaced with limited shade and can be windy, and a vehicle pass is required in addition to the camping fee.
