Plan Your Stay
The lodge.
Wellness on the Water is held at DeGray Lake Resort State Park in Bismarck, Arkansas.
The lodge sits on its own island connected to the park by a causeway, with views of the lake on all sides. Wake up to the water, walk to breakfast, and spend your weekend without ever needing to get in your car.
Rooms book fast. We recommend securing lodging as soon as your ticket is confirmed.
Lodge amenities include a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness room, gift shop, and the Shoreline Restaurant on site. Check-in is at 4:00 p.m. Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before arrival to avoid a one-night charge.

Camp in the park.
DeGray Lake has 113 campsites spread through the park, ranging from walk-in tent sites to full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer. Camping guests have access to the resort restaurant and business center, and are a short drive or walk from all WOW event spaces.
Campsites are booked directly through Arkansas State Parks. Reserve early, especially the yurts and premium sites.
WOW Attendee Group Rate
We have a group rate secured with DeGray Lake Resort for WOW attendees. The booking code and rate details will be posted here in January 2027. Join the email list to be notified the moment it's available.
A few things worth knowing before you arrive.
Book as soon as tickets go live.
The lodge fills quickly once the group rate is released. Don't wait on this — lakeview rooms and suites go first.
Consider sharing a suite or double room
Suites have a sleeper sofa in addition to the king bedroom. Splitting one with a friend cuts your lodging cost significantly and gives you more space.
Arriving Thursday evening is worth it.
If you can get there the night before, do it. Waking up at the lake on Friday morning with no commute stress sets the tone for the whole weekend.
The causeway is easy to find.
Once you're in the park, follow signs to the lodge. You'll cross a short causeway onto the island. Hard to miss.
