How to Plan your Sam’s Throne Elopement

To my knowledge, a permit is not currently required for an elopement at Sam’s Throne unless you are incorporating chairs or other furnishings such as an arch.
3. Then, find a place to stay nearby if you don’t want to make the one hour drive to Fayetteville or the two hour drive to Litle Rock! In addition, there are tons of cabin and RV options and Airbnbs abound. Two of my favorite locations are Horseshoe Canyon Ranch and the Buffalo River Outdoor Center Cabins.
