Fayetteville Arkansas Accommodations

When to Visit Fayetteville, AR

The best time to visit Fayetteville is from March to May, when the weather is pleasant and temperatures begin rising. This is the perfect time to explore one of the city's 70 parks, bike along a trail, or fish in Beaver Lake.

Hotel rates will be affordable and the city won't be nearly as crowded as it would be during the spring.

Between September and November, temperatures hover around 60 degrees making conditions perfect for enjoying everything Fayetteville has to offer. You can explore local breweries, see a drive-in movie, go bird watching, and even try vegetable picking. Hotel rates will be affordable throughout most of the season, except during University of Arkansas football weekends when the city explodes with fans.

From December to February the weather is cold, but there's still plenty to do around the city if you know where to look. You can enjoy holiday and winter festivals like Light of the Ozarks and Mardi Gras, or visit historic sites like the Clinton House Museum, Arkansas Air Museum, and Old Main.
