Dam Site Campground
Overview
Overview
Dam Site Campground in Heber Springs, Arkansas sits near the banks of the famed Little Red River and the expansive waters of Greers Ferry Lake. This location places travelers directly into the rugged, wooded terrain of the Ozark foothills. Campers arriving here typically seek immediate access to trout fishing, boating, and scenic drives through north-central Arkansas without straying far from modern small-town conveniences.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Cleburne County, this campground is characterized by rolling hills, dense oak and pine forests, and steep limestone bluffs typical of the Ozark Mountain region. Travelers reach the area primarily via Arkansas Highway 25 or Highway 110. The local climate features distinct seasons, with warm summers well-suited for water recreation and crisp autumns that draw leaf-peepers to the winding river valleys.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details such as electrical hookups, exact site dimensions, and water access points are subject to change, RVers should verify site particulars directly with the park before arrival. Visitors can generally anticipate standard campground amenities typical of Army Corps of Engineers properties in this region, which commonly include paved or gravel access roads, vault or flush restrooms, drinking water spigots, and defined camper parking pads.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding geography offers abundant outdoor recreation, anchored by Greers Ferry Lake and the cold-water trout fisheries below the dam. Anglers frequently target world-record brown trout on the Little Red River. Hikers can access the Collins Creek Trail nearby or climb Sugarloaf Mountain for panoramic views of the lake. The historic downtown commercial district of Heber Springs provides local eateries, antique shops, and grocery supplies just minutes away.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits anglers, boaters, and nature-focused road-trippers who prioritize water access and scenic forest settings over resort-style entertainment. It appeals strongly to self-contained RV travelers looking for a quiet basecamp to explore the Greers Ferry region, photograph local wildlife, or spend leisurely days casting lines in the tailwaters of the Ozarks.
Reviews
Wanda Trammel
Well kept campground with large lots. Good views of the lake with swimming area.
Brenda Curry
This is a wonderful park, beautiful lake with clear, cool water and it is a favorite place of ours. Kids, teens and adults all enjoy jumping from the rock cliffs into the water. The camping areas have lots of trees. Our family has been coming here for over 25 years.

This is one of the best parks Arkansas has to offer if you like swimming and jumping off cliffs.

While H19 is a lovely site, it is incredibly unlevel. The park as a whole is Okay- I would have rated it a 3.75-4⭐️ (3.5 for H loop, higher for others) but the bathhouse shower dropped that to MAYBE a 3 average. It smelled- BAD. And the shower was so hot it was miserable for an adult- I’d never let a child shower in that water. We have a shower in our camper, but with no water hookups, we were conserving our fresh water. If we return, we will choose a site that has water so we can use our own shower. The park is very hilly, and with many different loops it was a good place to ride our ebikes.

Great site. Bathrooms are sparsely located and not very nice. Pit toilets and no handwashing area. Did not use the bathhouse but it looks newer and modern. Enjoyed the lake.
