| Resort and Local Information |
|
Dogwood Springs at Jasper Resort was established 40 years ago, originally built in 1968 as Dogwood Trailer Court. Its convenient location served the (now non-operational) Diamond Cave and Dogpatch USA area visitors. In 1972 the Buffalo National River Park was established as the first national river park in the country. In the early 90’s, the pool and lodging were added; the park was renovated in 2003 and 2008, and we continue to make improvements. |

Craft stores, the Bradley House Museum, the 1848 Chaney Log Cabin, and several buildings listed on the Historic Register are all to be found in Jasper. Your visit would not be complete without a free self guided tour of the almost-world-famous EMMA'S MUSEUM OF JUNK on the town square, next to Wing Depot/Pizza Pro. The Rock Shop offers a variety of unusual finds. Saturday nights you will enjoy free live music or a small stage production downtown at the Ozark Café and Jasper Mercantile Soda Fountain – it’s free and a favorite of tourists and locals. Jasper has a library for a quiet moment. If you need a day away, then Branson, Eureka Springs and its railway, the White River, area lakes and several cave tours are all within easy driving distance of an hour or so. For you bargain hunters, Jasper hosts a monthly swap meet & Flea Market at the Newton County Fairgrounds (first weekend of each month, April – November). |
Dogwood Springs at Jasper Resort can accommodate any size family and
most groups. We can work with you to choose one of many options

region of the Buffalo River. You can choose from camper cabins,
cottages, kitchenettes, RVs and shaded tent sites. We
now have premium RV Sites 30 or 50 amp long and wide pull-thrus for campers
of all size with slideouts.
Our Camp Store has snacks available in season. You can also find firewood, ice, soft drinks, ice cream and cookies. We carry a basic selection of
RV supplies and “necessities,” so if you forgot to pack something, you
can check with us at our store. Firepits at sites for cook-outs and camp fires.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS:
Our natural, wooded area is the
closest full-service facility to the Buffalo National River
Park and Little Buffalo River. We’re only 1½ miles from the
park access at Erbie entrance. Canoe shuttle pick-up and drop-off
(in the park) can be scheduled with local canoe
concessionaires. Or you can spend your day horseback riding on a
scheduled trip to the beautiful countryside. From the park you can
view deer in the adjoining pasture and
hills and enjoy a variety of songbirds and
small animals. Just up the road you can see elk in the Boxley
Valley, explore the cave at Lost Valley, and hike the hills and trails
in the Buffalo National River Park. Just up the road you cam visit the Hillary Jones Buffalo River Elk
Museum just ¼ mile south of our entrance. You can
arrange to have a zip-locked bagged lunch (prepared by Pizza Pro/Wing Depot in
town) ready when you are, with snacks, drinks,
or ice and last minute needs. We are just one mile north of Jasper on Scenic Byway 7, one of the
country’s top ten scenic drives, and only 17 miles
south of Harrison.

There are several “home cooking” casual cafes in town. The Pizza Pro/Wing Depot,
Ozark Cafe and Pizza Pro too, Sharon K's and the Boardwalk. They are located next
