Greers Ferry Lake - COE/Cherokee Rec Area

Cherokee Recreation Area sits along Greers Ferry Lake's shoreline, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers with hike-in access required and no pets allowed. The campground provides 17 sites with electric hookups and 16 non-electric options, all featuring fire rings, picnic tables, and paved surfaces under shade trees.

Sites cluster close to the water with direct boat ramp access. Reviewers note the rural location requires advance supply runs, as the nearest stores in Drasco and Greers Ferry sit about 11 miles away. Rainbow trout fishing draws many visitors to these lake waters. Campers seeking additional options can explore campgrounds around Heber Springs or the nearby COE Greers Ferry Lake Old Highway 25 Campground for drive-up access.

475 Cherokee Park Road, Greers Ferry, Arkansas
Directions: From Drasco take Highway 92 west 7 miles till Brownsville Road. Turn left, travel 3 miles. Keep up with your mileage as there will not be a sign pointing the traveler to the turn. You will find a small white sign that directs you to Brittany Cove. Turn left. We put the address into the GPS (updated GPS) and it did not find the campground. If you follow the above you will arrive at the campground.

This campground is very rural. I would suggest buying your supplies at the nearest town. Once you arrive at the campground you are about 11 miles to Drasco and Greers Ferry will be about the same distance. Drasco has a small store and service station and Greers Ferry has a small grocery market.

The sites are small but well shaded which is a bonus. Fishing or boating would be the main draw for this location. If you want to enjoy the peace and quiet this is your stop. The view is beautiful with all the water sites.

trout for days

went here on a fishing trip, and i pulled out so many rainbow trouts from this lake! The camp sites are close to the water, and the boat docks are easy to access. this definitely made for a memorable fishing trip, and i guarantee that I will be back!
