GuideNot a bad little RV park, bathrooms were close and there were plenty of spots available. We got a back in spot at the front of the campground, but there were quite a few pull through as well. The entrance area parking lot was huge. So there was plenty of room to disconnect our TOAD before backing in.
TravelerI am not a high maintenance kind of chick ….i used pit toilets and sun showers and that doesn’t bother me but this weekend was horrible. The staff was nice but the overflowing dumpster led to a plethora of flies and issues trying to keep them out of our foods The air quality was horrible due to the stench of the dumpster was a true health concern every time the breeze came from that direction The following are photos of the concerns overflowing dumpster 150 feet from our site
ScoutPeaceful and wooded. Paved parking. Enjoying our stay. Bathrooms and showers nice enough.
Ranger42’ 5th wheel. Had plenty of space
TravelerCreek is full of smallmouth bass, great swimming holes for the kids, and some shallow wading areas to lounge in chairs or find crawfish. Owners are great people and very helpful. Awesome place to stay!
ScoutWhile it was pretty last year (the reason it was my first pick this year) the owner uses Marissa, Jamie and Serena as his own personal shield to avoid taking responsibility for his business, and all of them are rude as all get out. Marissa promised multiple times that the owner would call me, and kept changing when exactly that would be. Two days later, I have NEVER heard from him, despite him being fully aware he needed to contact me. I ended up having the credit card company cancel the charge.
And omg, the shower house. Bring a space heater. It's an open air shed with exposed pvc and no drain. I can't imagine how it operates in the winter.
If you come in October, expect loud screaming, gun shots and chainsaws for THREE HOURS at night from one of their events your probably won't be told about til you arrive. Greg deserves to have this place fail.
LegendLoved being able to camp so close to the creek! The campsites weren’t anything special, but it is perfect for a weekend getaway. The lower campground does not have a bathroom, have to walk to the hill. The bathrooms were clean, but the shower house is basically like taking an outdoor shower. They do sell wood, ice and have a small selection of items inside the office. The location is great and the river is gorgeous making this a place would would definitely return to.
TravelerWe have stayed here 2 times, once in a RV a couple years ago and had a nice experience. The second just this week. Since we stayed here last the prices have increased per night and it has come under new ownership. We stayed in the “wren” cabin. Which is over looking campsites below and sylamore creek. Not horrible, but honestly if I’m paying for water views I want to see the water not campers. Overall fairly clean, other than the debris pictured in the shower. No problem, sometimes mistakes happen. Could have even fell from the ceiling when the door closed or something after it was cleaned. My biggest issue, we were here for 3 nights. Typically I like to shower a couple times a day as does my wife when it is hot out. We had a total of 2 bath towels and 2 wash cloths upon arrival. Rather than new ones being brought daily, you are required to take the used ones to the camp store and exchange them yourself. I’m on vacation, I don’t personally feel it should be my responsibility to secure my own towels on MY time. I mean, I’m here for 3 days, give me 6 towels and wash cloths and count them when I leave if your that worried about towel theft. I’ve travelled half way around the world and never had this issue before. But if I’m paying $140 a night for a room worth about $90 (at best) I’d at least like enough towels to get me through my stay or maybe send someone by with new ones. One more thing, note the front door pic needs painted at a minimum, I mean, it’s not just one thing, it’s attention to detail and upkeep. The bathroom door also rubbed the floor and the floor was uneven overall. I get around pretty good, but I can see this being a trip hazard for someone elderly. Point being, I did not get a good value for the stay I purchased. I did confront the towel issue and the response was “we’ve always done it that way”. Doesn’t sound like it will change soon, which means I won’t be back and wouldn’t encourage anyone else to stay here either. On a positive, it’s not a bad location. I will also mention the bed, it wasn’t bad, but could have lived without the sandpaper sheets.
ScoutWe had a terrible experience camping here over the weekend. We were expecting a nice quiet family outing with friends but that is not what we got. I have never been to a rv park where there is a haunted hayride and haunted house on site only feet away from campers but we also had to listen to screaming, banging, chainsaws and tractors running until 10pm each night. So the kids decided to check out the hayride and haunted house with the moms and did so but were to chicken to go through the house. So i challenged the older kids to go through the house with me. So we made our way over to the house and were met with an upset clown that said we had to go to the office to get our vouchers because the kids had been through the house too many times already. So we go and get the vouchers and go on the hayride without any problems when we pull back up to the house the clown then confronts me and tells me i need to tell the kids to stop throwing rocks during the hayride. I said who and then asked the kids if they did and they said no and he continues to accuse them of throwing rocks. I then confront this clown about accusing my kids of doing something and he then starts dropping f bombs left and right and starts threating to call the cops which i said please do but i guess decided not to. So after a few back and forth words i decide to leave the situation and take the kids back to the camper and he proceeds to follow me and continue to use the f word repeatedly. I can say i will never be back to this clown of a campground and would not want my worst enemy staying here. Their sign says no cussing or you will be escorted off the premises but i guess that only applies to the guests not the employees. The sign also says beware of clowns. So do yourself a favor and don't waste your time or money on this clown of a place.

Trout fishing access: The tailwaters of Greers Ferry Lake provide excellent rainbow trout fishing opportunities. At Dam Site Campground, campers can fish directly from shore. "The location is perfect for enjoying the lake, the Little Red River and all the other outdoor adventures that Heber Springs has to offer," notes Shana D.
Hiking trails: The Sylamore Trail system offers numerous paths through Ozark forests near the camping areas. At Holiday Mountain Resort, visitors have direct access to trails while maintaining proximity to water recreation.

The Cherokee Recreation Area features dedicated boat ramps that make water access straightforward. According to Jill R., "The camp sites are close to the water, and the boat docks are easy to access."
Direct creek access: The cold, clear mountain streams provide refreshing swimming and wading opportunities during hot summer months. Campers at Sylamore Creek Camp appreciate the proximity to water. Sandy R. shares, "We love having direct access to creek. It is kayak, family, pet friendly. The only thing it is lacking is internet connection, which for us is a plus for disconnecting."
Shaded sites: Tall pine trees throughout the region provide natural cooling during hot Arkansas summers. The campgrounds feature established tree coverage that creates comfortable camping environments. At Choctaw, Natalie E. observed, "Tall trees everywhere you look. Every campsite is shaded. Perfectly spaced trees for the hammock lovers."
Quiet atmosphere: Many campgrounds enforce noise restrictions that create peaceful environments for all guests. Leslie D. noted about Sylamore Creek Camp, "It is safe family friendly and quiet. The owners do not put up with loud music or loud parties. It is a great place for a family."

Bathroom facilities: Quality and availability of restrooms varies significantly between campgrounds. At Dam Site Campground, Shana D. mentions, "There is a newer private/suite style bathroom in the park. Much nicer than the old stall style."
Flooding risk: Lower elevation sites near creeks can experience rapid water rise during heavy rains. Joshua D. warns about Sylamore Creek Camp, "Very nice family friendly campground. Just don't camp on lower sites when raining."
Kid-friendly water areas: Look for shallow areas with gentle current for safer water play. Bobby S. recommends, "Very kid friendly for swimming or walking or biking around in the campground" at Little Rock AFB FamCamp.

Site selection for larger rigs: Some camping areas have dedicated sections for larger vehicles. At Dam Site Campground, Caitlin B. advises, "We had a pull through site in loop N that was perfect for our 41' fifth wheel...plenty big, clean, and level. The other loops were more wooded, but wouldn't be good for big rigs."
