Some campsites have been washed out and might not be replaced.  There are some great site on the water but if you want one of those reserve early.   campground is fully shaded with red cedar, black gum, red oak, elm, pecan and sweet gum.  Fishing is the main stay for folks but wildlife watching is another spor

There is a corner market as you turn off SR 25 if you need something last minute.  The road in is like riding a roller coaster, steep and sharp curves so be careful.

Directions from Heber Springs, AR, go 3 miles northwest on SR 16, then 1.25 northeast on the access road, follow signs.

This is a nice area on the lake that is a little quieter than most

The fishing is pretty good in this area and the swimming is ok too

Nice place for a family weekend

Don't confuse 'Cove Creek' campground with 'Cove Lake' at the bottom of Mount Magazine, a couple hours drive to the west. This campground on Greers Ferry Lake is shared by RVers and tent campers. It does not allow advance reservations, which can work for or against you, depending on the circumstances. My favorite sites are: C13, C18, C19, C30. If you're coming with friends, make a beeline for the best doubles: C29+C29A (or, backup: C28+C28A) so you can camp side-by-side and are just a few steps down to the water for fishing, nature viewing, and floating.
