Choctaw is located several miles outside the town of Clinton Arkansas.  I would advise stocking up before leaving home or in Clinton.  Located in the gently rolling hills of the Ozarks.  The roads are in good shape but like most roads in Arkansas they could be considered, not narrow, but not exactly wide.  The campground is located right off the road so watch for your turn.  Choctaw is one of the few parks in the Greers Ferry complex that is right off the main road.

The site numbers are well marked on the entrance of each site.  Some sites are more level than others and some are shorter than others.  Longer rigs will have to pay close attention to the size of the sites.  Area is well wooded giving a large amount of shade and a lot of needles and leaves.  If you don't carry a good broom you might want one to sweep your pad.  Trees are mainly pine so shade will continue through winter.  While we were there it was time for mowing but generally COE parks are well maintained

Little Red River and the Greers Ferry Lake produce an amazing outdoor experience.  Sitting all along the banks of Greers Ferry Lake you are able to have your pick of any number of COE campgrounds and private campgrounds.  Choctaw is a good example.  

Arkansas is called "The Natural State" and it does live up to its name.  Greers Ferry is located in Cleburne County Arkansas with several small towns dotted around the lake.  There are between 30,000 to 40,000 acres of crystal clear water depending on the season and the rains.  You may fish, scuba dive, water ski, SUP, kayak, canoe, swim or just relax at your campsite.  Your choice but is geared toward the outdoor life.

Fishing is the sport of the day here.  You will find some of "The Best" fishing in the south with some bragging "In The World".  The lake holds the record for bass at 27 lbs 50 oz.  Tournaments begin in April and go through October.  Whether you are a local or a visitor fishing is done year round.  Every game fish native to Arkansas is stocked and maintained by the Arkansas Game and Fish.  Depending on the time of the year you are able to look forward to trophy size striped bass, walleye, and trout.  That is not to say you shouldn't hook your share of channel catfish, bigmouth and white bass and crappie.

Have fun.  Stay safe.

If using GPS the address will take you to the campground.  A lot of the sites are double sites which puts you in close proximity to your neighbor.  The campground has a large number of trees giving most campsites a shaded area.  Picnic table are large concrete tables and site pad are on the older side.  There is also a fish cleaning station at the sites.  Bathroom and shower facility is fairly new.

The boat launch is large with a lot of parking for trailers and boats.  There is a nice, large group shelter that can be reserved.  When we were there the park had very few visitors.  The Greers Ferry area is, some would say, remote but in Arkansas we just consider it typical "out in the country".  Edgemont proper is located on the north side of Greers Ferry Lake and has a population of less than 1000 people.  The main draw for this area is water sports including fishing.  There are several sights to see in the area and the drive in the rolling small country towns will be a delight.  Check out the towns of Heber Springs, Mountain View, Batesville and so many more.  Pack a lunch or stop at one of the many mom and pop diners.

Greers Ferry Lake has over 30,000 acres of crystal clear water so whether you fish, dive, water ski or boat it is a beautiful, natural spot to kick back in.
