We often think of camping trips for “weekends only,” but there are some benefits to camping during the week!
Here are 5 main reasons why you should try camping during the week at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve:
1. The Campground is Less Busy
Traditionally, campgrounds are the most vacant during the weekdays. Why not bank on that? The chances of getting the space all to yourself are much higher when camping Monday-Thursday. That could also mean more mountain bike trails to yourself depending on the season you stay!
2. A Chance to Take Time for You
How often do you get to fully unwind away from the hustle and bustle of your work life, social life, and family life? If your answer is never, you should consider camping during the week for just a night or two. We all benefit from a bit of a reset every now and then. Dedicate your camping trip to reconnecting with yourself and with nature by bringing a journal, a good book to read, or even a sketchbook.
3. You Can Work from the Woods! (If ya wanna…)
Consider getting a hot spot and get some work done in a new, peaceful setting. Maybe you’re not interested in fully unplugging from the responsibilities that await you tomorrow. That’s okay! Sometimes simply placing yourself in a new environment brings clarity to your mind, and what better environment than a cozy tent nestled in the gorgeous Ozark landscape?
4. Choose from the Best Campsites
The happiest campers always find the best spot for their camping trip. Before you book your site at Coler, make sure to check out our campground map to locate our numbered sites at campatcoler.com. Coler offers access to 16 hike-in sites, 5 camper van sites, and 1 ADA site. Whether you’re looking for a more secluded spot in the woods or a platform closest to the bathrooms, using the map will gaurantee that you find the best site for your stay.
5. It’s Easy to Keep it Simple
Weekday camping is low-stakes. Bring only the essentials and maybe swing by a restaurant on your way in to grab some grub for the evening. Coler Campground is conveniently just a 2.5 mile drive from Downtown Bentonville so campers can sleep soundly knowing that anything they could need is just a short drive away. The campground is also home to state-of-the-art bathrooms with hot indoor/outdoor showers so you can stay clean all week long!
