Woolum Boat Ramp

Woolum provides primitive boat access to the Buffalo River near St. Joe, Arkansas, featuring a large open field with no designated sites, vault toilets, and fire rings available year-round on a first-come, first-served basis.

The access point offers direct riverbank camping with both rock and sand beaches suitable for paddlers and anglers, though amenities are minimal—no water, electricity, or trash service.

Note that South Woolum Road is currently closed; access the site via County Road 374 west from St. Joe, and camping is only permitted in designated field areas, not in adjacent hay fields.
