I had the opportunity to tour the ranch 5+ years prior for a family reunion, but was not able to use it. So, for 5 years I could not wait to take my immediate family. When we finally had the opportunity to go, the ranch exceeded our expecations! We had a wide variety of activities, a super friendly staff and... More

Our family of 5 (children aged 8,7 and 4) spent our summer vaction at the ranch. We were looking for a more active alternative to our usual week at the beach. We are all still talking about it and planning when we will go back. My 7 year old daughter loves horses and we initially thought the horse back riding... More

The staff at HCR are all wonderful. They are mostly family and make you feel like family. They eat meals with you socialize with you and cry when you leave. From the beautiful horseback rides thru the woods or the zip line across the canyon it beats any amusement park by miles. When we were there people of all ages... More

Until I went here I didn't think Arkansas had anything to offer. This place is a DEAL. Cheap camping/climbing, along with amazing views everywhere. If you're going for a long stint of camping, they have a nice paid shower so you don't have to get too earthy. I don't want to start a fight on here, but I'd like to... More

We went to HCR over spring break in 2012. We were blessed with 80+ degree weather, making our experience so much more perfect. In all honesty, I never anticipated that the vacation would be as amazing as it was. My 9 and 11 year old gained a sense of confidence through handling the horses on terrain that most 'family trail... More

Jason & all the folks at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch were terrific. This weekend the cabins were booked so we just spent the day there. The colorful fall leaves were beautiful! The rock climbing was fun and safe with Jason as our guide. Though I learned camping is available and lots of climbers bring their own equipment there. I enjoyed the... More

Thia place is awesome, from the activities to the staff/owners!! Each day we had a schedule that would sometimes deviate according to the guests.

Jason, Timber, chef, owners and mny more staff I... More

My family of five and I, from ages 4 through 72, had an unexpectedly good time here. The Johnson family and their staff are most accommodating. The food, cooked by the gracious Sara, is yummy beyond belief. The wranglers are skilled and so nice to one and all, of all ages, no matter what rather dumb thing one might do.... More
