Dam Site Campground

The Army Corps of Engineers operates Dam Site Campground within Greers Ferry Recreation Area, positioning campers near both Greers Ferry Lake and the Little Red River tailwaters. This established campground accommodates RVs and tents across multiple loops, though pets are not permitted on the property.

Loop N features pull-through sites that handle larger rigs up to 41 feet, with level pads and full sun exposure. Other loops provide more tree cover but work better for smaller units. The campground sits close enough to Greers Ferry Dam that visitors can walk to the crystal-clear tailwaters, where fish are visible swimming in the transparent water. Campers report the area stays relatively quiet even when full, making it suitable for families.

Bathhouses offer warm showers and are generally well-maintained, though some reviews note cleanliness can vary depending on current staffing. The campground operates seasonally, with sections closing during winter months. Charlene A. notes the sites are "large, semi private" with consistently quiet conditions.

Summer brings heavier crowds, while shoulder seasons offer more space and availability. The location provides direct access to lake fishing and river floating opportunities. For additional camping options in the area, see campgrounds near Greers Ferry Recreation Area. Dam Site works well for RV campers seeking lake access and families wanting a base for water activities.

Guests frequently mentioned the beautiful location with large sites and quiet atmosphere near Greers Ferry Lake. Staff attention and summer crowding emerged as occasional concerns.

Excellent Forest Getaway

This campground is right around the corner from Greers Ferry Dam. Our family enjoyed several days and made countless memories here. The water at the dam was crystal clear—so much so that you could see the fish swimming around you! Quiet campground for families. Moderately clean bathhouses.

Very nice and clean

We stayed 3 nights over a weekend in early September. We had a pull through site in loop N that was perfect for our 41’ fifth wheel...plenty big, clean, and level. It was a little sunny, but other than that no complaints. The other loops were more wooded, but wouldn’t be good for big rigs. We will definitely come again.

Great location on Greers Ferry

Dam Site is a nice campground on Greers Ferry Lake. The location is perfect for enjoying the lake, the Little Red River and all the other outdoor adventures that Heber Springs has to offer. We like winter camping, but it appears that they close off most sections of the park during the colder months. There is a newer private/suite style bathroom in the park. Much nicer than the old stall style.

4 time visitor

Has gone downhill in the last couple of years. Pretty, quiet, easily accessed and used to be very well kept. Current staff isn't attentive (facilities were filthy) and camp hosts were unapologetic. Still very pretty and quiet with easy access to the river.

Clean, very pretty and quiet

We’ve stayed at Dam Site Park campground twice even though we’re from out of state. This is such a beautiful campground with great fishing and floating nearby. The campground sits on the tail waters of Beaver Lake and is gorgeous!! The sites are large, semi private and it’s always been quiet here—even with a full campground! Clean bathrooms, warm showers and plenty of TP!
