The Kayak Camping Experience You Need (Ultimate Arkansas Adventure)

  • This is the kayak camping adventure you need to experience. Only in Arkansas can you paddle a river like this and be secluded for days. We meet up with Kellie's brother Jonathan and his girlfriend Erica for a fun ten miles down the Ouachita river and spending one night in the wild. We pitch our tents on an island and enjoy some tasty MRE's for dinner. We close the evening with a good conversation around the campfire. The next day we pack up camp and head down the river. Spend the day fishing and swimming. This river has enough white water for some excitement but also very chill and laid back. This is a recipe for a good time.

    What an awesome camp site! I loved the owl and coyotes at the end of the first day. Night sounds are the best. Oh my gosh, I can't believe you didn't bring your #1 condiment! I would have thought that would have been the first thing you packed, 😂! I never get tired of seeing eagles. We live on the Meramec River in Missouri and have a 15 acre lake right in front of our house. We get to see eagles in the trees in our yard regularly. The river you floated is beautiful. Happy camping 😊.

Besides Ra the sun god , Sekhmet was the lion-headed fire ( or sun) goddess associated with Flames amongst other things. Kellie may have anew nickname!

    I live on the water. Anything you don't want wet put in a Ziploc. Anything you want to float put it in a Ziploc with some air. If you want your bag to float put some stuff from the bag in a ziplock and then put it in the bag! Works perfect for cell phone, wallet, keys etc. Love ya! You look wonderful in Arkansas!

Little River I think is where we went.I remember it was very shallow & in some spots we had to walk/carry our vessel into deeper water
