Fishing and water activities draw campers to Henderson Park, an Army Corps of Engineers campground on Norfork Lake. The site accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with electric and water hookups, though one reviewer notes it's "better suited to smaller trailers or tents." Direct water access makes it popular with kayakers and anglers.
The campground operates seasonally from May through September at $22-$24 per night. Sites include picnic tables and allow campfires, while a dump station and camp store provide basic services. Flush toilets are available, but no showers. Mountain Home sits nearby for supplies and services. Campers should note the hike-in access requirement and that flooding can occasionally close sites during heavy rain periods. For additional options, see campgrounds outside Henderson.
Description
Overview
Henderson Park is surrounded by the clear waters of Norfork Lake. Spectacular lake views and plenty of secluded coves for water sports and breezy, open stretches for sailing, make Norfork Lake a popular area for recreationists.
Recreation
Hiking trails in the area lead nature observers and photographers to picturesque overlooks of the Ozarks. A wide array of fresh water game fish are found in the lake, which is fed by the North Fork River and its tributaries. Bass, walleye, crappie, bream and catfish all make their home here.
Facilities
The campground offers 36 campsites, all with electric hookups and water available for filling holding tanks. All campsites have a picnic table and campfire ring and grill. A marina and boat ramp are on hand for easy access to water sports.
Natural Features
Norfork Lake covers 22,000 acres with 550 miles of shoreline. Densely wooded hills and hollows surround the lake in the Ozark Mountains. The North Fork River feeds into the lake, and beyond the dam, extends on to connect with the White River.
Nearby Attractions
Including Henderson Park, there are 19 developed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parks lining the lake for plenty of water sport opportunities. The Robinson Point National Recreation Trail and the David's Trail offer beautiful hiking opportunities and are just a short drive away. Drive just over 10 miles to visit the town of Mountain Home, considered one of the best places to live for sportsmen.
