Coler Mountain Bike Preserve Campground

I would definitely recommend this campground. The campsite is gated, and it has heated bathrooms with showers! They also have dishwashing and bike washing stations. The campsite has raised platforms to put your tent on and little carts to get your stuff to your spot! We went to the Crystal Bridges museum which was free and like 10 minutes from the campsite! There is a cafe on site that opens at 7am, and they have spots for car and camper van camping. They also have bike rentals but I didn’t use that service. The only negative I would say is that there is mostly only mountain biking trails on the campground site, but there is a lot of trails for hiking nearby! And you can see residential houses from the campsite which took a bit away from the camping vibes. Overall though this is a great place to camp!

I camped for 3 nights in late November. Stayed in one of their 5 Class B RV spots. Wasn’t very crowded. No electrical hookups but wasn’t an issue for me. Awesome basecamp for mountain biking at Coler and other nearby spots (I also did the Back 40 Loop). These were the nicest, cleanest campground bathrooms and showers I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience. Will definitely be back. The place was beautiful. Absolutely enjoyed my whole time there. The place is so well taken care of! The camp site was perfect for tent camping. The bike wash was an unexpected delight, able to wash your bike after some rugged mountain trails is very nice. Water bottle fill up as well. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Nice toilets and showers. The showers were very nice after some trails. Staff are present on site and are very friendly. This place definitely beat staying in a hotel for me.

What an amazing setup these guys have! Platform decks keep your tent up off the ground, quick and easy access to all of Coler Mountain Trails, hot showers, and well maintained grounds and campsites. The Airstrip bistro is a 2 minute bike ride from the camp grounds and has food (their salsa is the best), coffee, beer, and snacks; they have a beer garden, rooftop seating, and a nice seating area with a few big adult size swings. Slaughter Pen trails are fairly close and was a quick ride from the south parking lot through town. I couldn’t find much about it online, but if you are looking to cool down on a hot day, or if cold plunges after a day of riding is something you like, check out Spring Box Pool. It’s below the camper van parking and is easily accessible by foot on the trail. It was about 45-50 in April and was perfect! Worth the trip from Central Texas! 10/10 would recommend, and I will be returning.

Great location, but the rv sites have an extreme pitch to them. Even with the provided leveling blocks you’re not likely to get flattened out. This is a problem for our heater, it will not function if the pitch is off at all. (We’re visiting in January) So we spent the evening playing musical sites, Booked A, moved to E, then had to move to C. I will update the review to three or four stars if we get a refund on the extra site we booked. This all could of been avoided with a bit of extra detail on the website!

Had the privilege of staying here for 5 days in one of the Class B spots. The. I eat bath house I’ve ever seen (outdoor shower is a must btw). Can ride your bike anywhere and the staff was super helpful and welcoming. I will be back!

I would not recommend this place and would not stay here again unless I only needed a spot to crash for the night as the location and amenities are great. We only stayed 1 of 4 nights that I had booked. Pros- excellent showers, elevated tent pad, free electric for charging bikes/ batteries ext…, bike wash station, location. Cons - micromanaging host from the minute I arrived and throughout the first day we were there - interesting how much this impacted our trip - it made me not want to be there after traveling 12 hours, poor gait management to enter the campground - got sent wrong code - mocked me like it was my fault, no dogs allowed (left mine at home this trip), poor communication prior to visit (multiple unanswered emails). Non refundable reservation per website - didn’t even bother asking for a refund.

I’ve camped a lot in my life and the Coler Mountain Bike Preserve takes the cake for the best campground experience. Well though through booking and check in process, clean spots, stunning bathrooms, and phenomenal access to the Coler mtb trails and the Airship. I’ll be coming back here every time I return to Bentonville.
