Meteor shower viewing

Post by arkhiker72 » Sat Aug 11, 2012 2:12 am

I am going to take my wife and girls camping Saturday night somewhere outside of NW Arkansas and am looking for a good spot to view the meteor shower. I was thinking about one of the spots near Spy Rock or somewhere else on or near the Mulberry but not sure what spots have a relatively open view of the sky, preferably a northeast view. I also considered campgrounds along the Buffalo but I think most of them have at least some utility lights...which kinda screws up the darkness factor. Suggestions?

White Rock is a great spot for camping.

We backpacked from Steele Creek on the Buffalo to Sneed Creek and viewed the meteors at Rocky Bottoms. Zero light pollution and we saw so much. This will be the place to go for us every year.
