Wifi is available on campus, but does not usually work in the lodges. There are areas around campus where you can sit to access wifi.

Fires are permitted ONLY in the fire pit at the Lewis Pavilion. Upon request, we provide you with complementary wood for one fire. If you would like to purchase more wood, it is $5 per bundle. We have had a very dry year, so please pay extra attention to stray sparks and be sure that the fire does not leave the fire pit. Please do not attempt to move hot coals.

The Ozark Natural Area campus includes an education building, event spaces, 3 lodges, 4 apartments, and a retreat house (Neaville House). During your stay, other guests might be renting other parts of the campus, and some ONSC staff live on campus. Please be respectful of all other guests, staff, and our property.

The closest town with a Wal-Mart is 15 miles away from the campus. The closest gas station is 6 miles away from the campus. Eureka Springs and Huntsville are each about 30-40 minutes away. We are about an 1-1.5 hours from Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville, Bentonville, and XNA airport.

Make sure that you purchase all food, drinks, toiletries and other supplies needed prior to your arrival on campus. Also please bring sunscreen, bug repellant, and a flashlight for your safety at night to be able to view our walking paths and trails.

We stayed in the Tyson Lodge. It is a camp style lodge with bunkbeds in all but one of the five rooms. It's nothing fancy but it's got what you need for a comfortable night. Be sure a take any food and or dishes you need because the lodge doesn't have a kitchen or any kind of dishes and its about 20 miles to town one way. Overall it worked great for us, four guys on motorcycles. Would definitely stay here again.
