Within the Dardanelle Recreation Area, Riverview operates as an Army Corps of Engineers facility positioned directly along the Arkansas River. The campground functions primarily as overnight parking for anglers, with portable restrooms serving as the main facilities. Reviews indicate the site resembles a parking lot more than a traditional campground, lacking the amenities typical recreational campers expect.
Recent flood damage has impacted operations, with campsites removed entirely as of 2025. The facility now operates as day-use only, prohibiting both RV and tent camping. Pets are not permitted on the grounds. Campers seeking overnight options can explore campsites near Dardanelle for alternatives in the area.
