Horseshoe Canyon Ranch

As a rock climber this was a great experience. You have plenty of routes to keep you happy and there was never a wait for routes! There are cliffs on both sides of the ranch and the hike in is easy work — no 10 mile hikes in!
Tent camping available with pay showers is available for those wishing to rough it or go cheap! There were bathrooms, though I didn’t check em out.
The log cabin we stayed in had enough room to sleep 6 comfortably. The one main bedroom had a queen size bed, dresser, hanging rack, two night stands, and ceiling fan. The loft upstairs had 4 twin beds, which we put two together and made queens for the couples staying with us. It also, had two small dressers and hanging racks. There was a full bath with hot water. Lines were provided. There was a heat/​cooling unit too in case it was needed, though we found the wood burning fireplace warm enough.
The small kitchen was OK, though I do recommend bringing your kitchen supplies (as the only thing provided was a very small sink and microwave). The counter area fit a double burner camp stove and counter top oven just fine, so we were able to cook lots of yummy meals in our cabin. The ranch can provide you with meals at a cost, but we didn’t purchase a package — as we were just there to climb.
During our rain day (no climbing, booo hoooo) we discovered the Barn Loft. This provided a full day of activities for the adventurous types. A spelio box — cave simulation. Nothing works the brain out a bit like being in a maze that you can only crawl through. We also tested our balance by stacking milk crates and walking up milk crates. Add in some basketball and bouldering and you can get plenty of exercise for the day. We also made use of the lodge were multiple games of pool and ping pong were played.
Bad points about this place: Parking was difficult as there was very little for the cabins and it wasn’t marked out very well. It was also a bit confusing about the trash (where does it go?) and laundry (are they bringing us fresh towels at any point?). The front desk «kids» could be a bit more helpful upfront instead of us having to ask all the questions. Maybe a little pamphlet or something placed in the cabins to explain it all. Also they say they have a «hot» tub. Well it sure as heck wasn’t «hot» at all. And when we asked the «kid» what was up, all we got was a shoulder shrug and «maybe the breaker tripped». Well they never did fix it. And if you want to ride a horse at the dude ranch … you must purchase the «package», no individual deals to be found.
But, overall, if you’re looking for some fun in the outdoors and you want to visit Arkansas, I would highly recommend this place. We will certainly be back, maybe not for the extra amenities like the hot tub, but the rock is awesome!
