Turner Bend is a bike, rafting outpost on the south end of the Pig Trail. They make some great sandwiches. They have primitive camping close to the river. It was expensive. I think it was $7 per person to camp! lol. Neat place.
Don't exactly know your route, but here tis. South west of Hot Springs is a little town of Kirby, Arkansas. About eight miles east of Kirby you will come to Daisy, Arkansas, then Lake Greeson. Prior to crossing the bridge, you will see a sign the points you to Jim Wylie Camp ground. Nice camping spots with clean showers and bathrooms. Nice country to ride in also.
You can google Jim Wylie campground and get the information and location.
One little bit of information, unless it has changed, this area does not sell alcohol, so you will have to bring your own if you want to sit around the camp and drink a little toddy.

We had a group ride the Pig Trail last weekend. Stay away from the edges of the road, lots of gravel that took a bike down. Cars and trucks go just off the road and kick it onto the road.

Not only is there gravel on the edges of these road, but most mountain road intersections in Arkansas take place in the curves; who the hell engineered that???
Very much so. Ark does not exaggerate like most states on there curve speed signs. Pay attention to them!!!!!
This double switchback is at a pretty steep grade going higher to lower elevation from the North. It's deceptively steep, sharp at the bottom and 18-wheelers will meet you in the middle, be careful!!
